Fun With Glitter

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been absent. If you're on Instagram, however, you'll notice that I've been busy. Just wanted to share some looks I've done in the past week, get ready for some glittery spam!


I've been experimenting with colored eyebrows to complement eye makeup.


I've also been playing around with adding jewels (nail art rhinestones) as well as "curly" cat-eye shapes.


Here, I'm playing around with color blocking. I'd eventually like to do glitter gradients once I have enough shades to create a smooth color transition.


My interpretation of the Eye of Ra. I'm especially proud of this one because the line art was quite challenging!

I've been using glitters from Eye Kandy Cosmetics as well as MBA Cosmetics. Both shops offer a vast variety of glitter and mineral pigments. Eye Kandy makes this incredible glitter-binding medium which allows you to paint even, opaque sheets of cosmetic glitter onto your skin, creating dazzling makeup effects! It's called Liquid Sugar and I don't know what I'd do without it!

The gold liquid liner that you see is Eldorado, by Urban Decay. For pigmented, colorful brows, I used Make Up For Ever's Flash Palette, set with matching eye shadow colors. For fine black lining detail, I used Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner pen.

The beautiful lashes that you see are "Noir Fairy" and "Tigress" by House Of Lashes.

Looking forward to bringing you guys more intricate, artistic makeup looks...especially once I graduate! Woo hoo! I'll also be working on some glitter tutorial videos, so stay posted! :)

Hugs,
Cat

Purple Ombre Fishtail Eyeshadow With Gilded Outline

Well, that was a mouthful, but I didn't know what else to call this look.




I created this look using YSL's Pure Chromatics quad in #13 and used the colors wet. Then I outlined the shape using Urban Decay's liquid eyeliner in Eldorado. Finished by adding Ardell Color Impact demi Wispies in Plum. I don't know if I'd wear this out on a normal day, but it was fun to do. I really enjoy fantasy makeup.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday and thanks for reading!

Hugs,
Cat
