The way I try and pull of glitter for the everyday! Some of you will have issues with this much, some of you want more, you can definitely add and subtract the amount of glitter to your tastes! This is also the best way I’ve found to use the “crappy” NYX Glitter Cream Palettes. Sorry for the less than awesome photos this time, I was rushing to head out to work and all of my light was gone, but you can see the look much better in the video!

On face and lips:

  • Makeup Forever HD Foundation in 110 (HATED this, I felt like it never set and transferred really easily. Also it didn’t cover redness worth a damn)
  • MAC Moisture Cover Concealer in NC15
  • MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium Dark
  • MAC Pink Opal Pigment
  • Smashbox Photofinish Under Eye Primer
  • Smashbox Photofinish Oil Free Foundation Primer
  • MAC Baron Rose Lipstick

 

The photos really don’t do this look any type of justice at all. I got a lot of compliments at work. The way the glitter was applied, it was just a sparse wash of sparkle over the whole lid and it added a really nice, holiday twinkle without being a thick blanket of glitter. This is pretty much the only useful way to use the NYX Glitter Cream Palettes (they aren’t terrible like every one says, they just don’t do the job you expect them to. If they were marketed differently I feel like they’d be a little more popular.)

Do any of you guys have blogs where you post FOTD or EOTD’s? I LOVE reading those :) Send me a link to check out if you have one!

About Valerie Vanity

I am a freelance makeup artist and a stay at home mom, I LOOVVVVEEE all things beautiful and sparkly. There are very few looks that I wouldn’t try to pull off, and I just love playing with makeup. I was inspired to start this blog when I found that I couldn’t really find very many beauty bloggers out there that are willing to speak in layman’s terms (took me forever to get the hang of “warm grey with a subtle blue shift”. The funny thing is, now I talk like that! But I do my best to describe techniques and products in way that doesn’t confuse or intimidate.

    I love the sparkle, but I think the lip color falls a little flat… Something a little brighter or with mor epunch wouldmkick it up a notch! Love the lip color though, just not with this look.
