Silver is a metallic color that holds a lot of boldness in the make-up industry. Whether you want to wear this striking shade with pink or teal or even black, it always manages to look astounding, as a result. One thing is certain, there are many silver eye shadows in the market, however; what separates the best from the worst is overall product and actual pigmentation. I have decided to narrow down the many silver eye shadows to only the best ones.

When it comes to Mac Cosmetics, they never fail to disappoint. In fact, I don't think I have ever used an eye shadow from this amazing make-up entity that I didn't like. Their eye shadows are very pigmented, as they are quite long-lasting. The color pay-off is fantastic. One of my favorite silver eye shadows is definitely "Electra" which is a beautiful, vibrant silver with a pale shimmer. I love this shade because the color is so intense, but can be worn dramatically or naturally without looking like a mess. Another favorite is definitely "Forgery" which is a sterling silver lustre and if you are looking for something more platinum and lighter, I would definitely recommend "Filament" which is a platinum silver lustre. Mac's eye shadows are only $14.50 and you definitely get what you pay for. In fact, I would say the expectations are exceeded as a result.

Mac Cosmetics has a pro line for individuals looking for even more. One of the best silver pigments is definitely "Silver Fog" which is a platinum silver pearl. Keep in mind that eye shadows are pigments, pigments just happen to be the title of what is referred to as "loose eye shadow". I absolutely love this pigment shade and find it to be one of my ultimate favorites because the color is so intense, but quite flexible and can be worn with just about any shade. Another pigment or loose eye shadow to love from Mac pro is definitely "Silver" which is a high shine metal silver. For only $19.50, you get a lot of great product that can and will last you a long time.

When looking for the best eye shadow, I always look fully and not one dimensionally. All the essence of color is key, what makes a product elite or one of the best is the actual product. You have to ask yourself "Is it long-lasting?" or "How is the color pay-off?" One of the best eye shadows is definitely Chanel's Soft Touch eye shadow is amazing. I first discovered this product through a friend of mine who uses it conscientiously. For $28.50, you can get "Platine" which is a beautiful soft light silver
