Antipodean Beauties: Glitter

Today's Antipodean Beauties challenge is... Glitter.

I was very tempted to do a glitter nail polish look and be done with it, but in the end I decided to do a glittery eye look. The glitter eyeshadow I used is one of my favourite colours, but I hardly ever use it because it's fallout central! However for some reason I'd ended up with an Illamasqua sealing gel (perhaps a gift with purchase?), so I decided to mix that with my glitter eyeshadow and see if it'll make a difference. And... it did! No fall out. Yay.

The glitter eyeshadow in question is by the brand Colorway and the colour is simply called #06. I bought it from a cheapo makeup stand at Chatswood Westfields for around $5. I couldn't walk past the rose gold colour.

Here's a swatch of it, isn't it just a gorgeous shade? Love love love it.

And here's how I wore it on my eyes. I wore Colorway #06 all over the lid and bottom lashline, with Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Fairytale in the crease. I've then used Rimmel Gel Liner to line my top lid and finished with 3 coats of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in Carbon Black.

    1. Thanks Norlin! I love the colour and I really should wear it more often, especially since the sealing gel makes it practically fallout-proof!

  2. That is really lovely... looks like that sealing agent is awesome, hardly surprising if it came from Illamasqua!
