Glitter eyeshadow

Hey girls. So I ordered some loose glitter on eBay & thought I'd do a quick tutorial for you girls. I have tried to narrow it down to 5 simple steps which hopefully will be easy to follow. This is the first time I've actually used glitter & I love the way it has come out.

This look is perfect for Christmas, New Years, Eid, Diwali or even bridal. It can be paired with a bright lip, e.g. Mac's Ruby Woo for a glamorous & classy look or a nice muted pink like Revlon's pink in the afternoon or even your favourite nude lipstick.

Now onto the tutorial...

Start with a primed lid for a smooth base. I used the Essence I heart stage eyeshadow primer. The first eyeshadow I used was the Revolution matte eyeshadow in the colour 'Delicious' which is the most beautiful grey toned taupe shade, perfect for a crease colour. I blended this above the crease & just under the crease, leaving the actual lid blank.

Then I applied eyelash glue all over the lid & pressed down a generous amount of glitter on top of the glue. Take your time when doing this to avoid a lot of fall out.

After that, I went in with 'blackout' from the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette & deepened the outer V to create depth to the eye & darken the look a little bit. I added the same black shadow to the lower lash line & blended it out.

I then applied Elf's cream eyeliner to the top of my eye & winged it out to create a more, feline effect. I applied mascara & Ardel Demi Wispies eyelashes to complete the look. 

On my lips: Mac Viva Glam Nicki (discontinued, sorry!)

I hope this was useful for you girls. Let us know what you want us to post next.
