Glitter Girl

I'm dying to try this!!

How To:


S T E P O N E
begin by creating a base : prime the eyelid and the area beneath the eye with concealer and to ensure it stays put, dust on a layer of loose, matte powder
S T E P T W O
blend a powder eyeshadow over the eyelid; to make gaps less noticeable, choose a shade which complements your choice of glitter

S T E P T H R E E

take the eyeshadow underneath the eye and blend it along the lower lashes; then, work a black eyeliner pencil across the top and bottom lash lines, and along the upper and lower inner rims
S T E P F O U R
apply two coats of black mascara to the lashes
S T E P F I V E
dip a flat, synthetic eyeshadow brush in glitter glue [try Ben Nye] and press it over the eyelid, avoiding the lash line, as the adhesive can sting if it enters the eye
S T E P S I X
pick up some glitter on the same brush [as used in step five] and, using the flat side, pat it onto the eyelid; keep adding more until you build up the desired intensity

On the Move

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, I moved this past weekend and only just got my wifi set up.  I'm currently in a fabulous Dallas apartment surrounded by decidedly un-fabulous boxes to unpack.  Dreadful.  I want my place to be pretty ASAP, so we'll see how much I can get done this week.  As soon as I've beautified my abode I'll share before and afer photos, so stay tuned!

Here's a preview of the only angle of my apartment that isn't crammed with boxes...vintage theatre seats, vintage lamp, vintage glass/aluminum side table...big 'ol windows...
