Want to add some dazzle to your eyes?  Try wearing a glittery eye–it smolders during the day and is on fire in the night….

Here’s a how-to-guide:

Choose a base color for your look.  For a more summery bronze look , try a sparkly taupe or brown (mocha, caramel, beige) base.   Some good choices are she umera pressed eye powder in ME 850, CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Tapestry Taupe, Makeup Forever Aqua Cream in 12, Bobbi Brown Sparkle eye shadow #4 mica, Stila eyeshadow in  Golightly or Starlight.

Select a thick eyeshadow brush. Wet the brush lightly by dabbing it in some water and apply your base color to lids and along the lower lashlinees. Press the color on with the brush instead of brushing it on to help the color hold throughout the evening.    For maximum hold, use an eyeshadow primer like Laura Mercier Eye Basics.

Use a thinner eyeshadow brush to apply a silvery glittery color outline your eyes and dab a little extra in your inner eyelids for sparkle and shine.  You can use the colors like those in in Stila Jewel Eyeshadow Palette, Face Stockholm Galaxy Glitter in Ett, Nyx Glitter on the Go in Platinum, or even use a eye pencil like NARS Glitter pencil if you want to skip the brush.   Keep the most intense color in the crease of your eyelid, i.e. the glitteratzi…and rock it out!

Keep it strictly fab!
