Gold Glitter Eyes

What is Christmas without the glitter lights, glitter tree and well...glitter eyes :)  This Christmas I wanted to take advantage of the gold glitters I've been craving to use and that just sit there in my drawer.  I also had gotten my monthly subscription of my "glam bag" from ipsy.com  and I wanted to use the Loose Pearl Shadow NYX that was included this month. I need a better camera to show the detail in the close ups of the eyes but I think you get the idea.

Happy New Year!  This year, I really wanted to play with glitter, so the bff (the girl above named Nuvia Enriquez) and I went on a hunt for glitter...we found it at Sally's Beauty Supply and they were only a $1 each.  In order to achieve her glitter I used, gold and pink glitter, black and gold eye shadow and of course...the lashes! Aren't they nice?  First we started off with prepping the eye for the entire night by priming her eyes.  I used Urban's decay Primer Potion, I have to say this is the best primer, it last all day.  After the primer I applied a light color under the eye (you can use a gold or a neutral color) When I went to Sally's I also grabbed the glitter glue to make sure the glitter would stay without clumping up. I applied the glue and right after that I with a clean brush I mixed in the gold and pink and applied it  all over the eye (make sure to only apply it all around the lid)  I really wanted to make the gold stand out so after I applied the gold I decided to go put black eye shadow on the crease, I should have done this step first..so if you want to achieve the look, I say do this first. The gold eye shadow I used to highlight the brow area.  I suggest to intensify the look, add liquid eye liner after the glitter has settled (the bff decided to skip out on this step) After that time to apply the lashes!
