all that glitters...

so yesterday I created a look that many of you were asking how I achieved it. This look is pretty easy to create but can be pretty messy if you are a beginner with makeup or don't have a good steady hand... which is OK!!

Here are the simple steps to achieving this look:



1. prime the eyelid with a eyeshadow base (for this look I used my MAC concealer in nc20
2. apply a highlight color under the eyebrow (I used vanilla from MAC)
3.apply a light coral color in the crease of your eye and blend upwards towards the brow
4.apply a light brown color on the crease and blend with the coral color (I used cork from MAC)
5.apply a dark brown on the edge of the eye and blend into the crease (I used brown script from MAC)
6.apply a black eyeshadow at the outer edge of your eye and blend (I used carbon by MAC)
7.then with a clean blending brush, apply more and blend the light coral color on the crease in a upward    
motion to soften up the look
8. then take the dark brown color and apply it to the bottom lash line and blend until you have a smokey effect
9.take a liquid eyeliner and give your self a cateye shaped liner (I used NYX liquid liner in black)
10.take a darkbrown eyeliner pencil and line the bottom waterline of your eye (I used teddy by MAC)
11. Take a mixing medium (I used mixing medium by MAC) or use a fix spray and apply it to a flat/concealer eyeshadow brush and apply it ONLY to the lid.. do not get it in your crease
12. Take your glitter with the same brush and apply it onto the area you put the mixing medium in, if you are using the fix spray , spray the fix spray onto the brush and then dip onto the glitter. Pack on the product as many times as needed 
13. Take a black color mascara and apply to top and bottom lashes (I used makeup forever smokey eye mascara in black)
14. Take your eyelash glue and apply a small amount to the back of your hand (I used DUO eyeshadow glue in dark tone)
15. Then take your lashes and swipe your eyelash band across the glue and let it dry for 30 seconds(I used glamprincessxoxo lashes in bad gal available at shopglamprincess.com
16. Take your lashes and apply it on your eyelid starting close to your eye duct and let dry

*if any glitter has been exposed to other parts of your face, just take a makeup wipe and remove

**dark/dramatic eyebrows work for this look and a nude/light pink lip
