Glossy, glittery goodness
Is it a glitter, or is it a very shiny eye gloss? Quelle suprise! ‘Tis both.

“Get lost in eyes that tantalize, mesmerize and glamorize. Introducing the irresistible twinkle of our all-new daze-inducing Dazzleshadow Liquid. available in a range of beaming finishes – from glaring glitter to subtle sparkle and amazing chrome – this ultra-shiny liquid eye shadow glides across lids for a wash of fantastic colour that keeps its splendour for up to 8 hours. Its lightweight cooling formula sets rapidly for the supreme second-skin texture that feels ultra-soft on lids.”

Seriously, they’re such a find. You’ll never have to deal with renegade glitter bits cascading down your cheeks or under your eyes (or, in my case, up in my brows, and why or how glitter manages to get up there, I’ll never know) again.
And because of the reflective finish, you can also get the high-fashion look of magazine-style glossy eyes without that sticky, gooey, gross feeling on your lids. Dab some on the back of your hand with the doe-foot applicator, pick up the littlest amount with a tapered blending brush (THIS IS KEY! DON’T use too MUCH!), blend on your lids, and it won’t budge all day long. (Watch the clock, though, because you’ll only have about two minutes to buff before the formula completely sets.)
That’s liquid Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in nude blush by Civilized Cosmetics on my lips.
Tip: ease the transitions between the Dazzleshadow Liquids on your skin by blurring out the edge with your favorite tan or brown cream eyeshadow, because it’s simpler to blend a cream shadow into another cream or a liquid shadow, instead of blending a powder shadow with a cream shadow. similar textures = simpler blending. here I’m wearing MAC cream Colour Base in Mid-Tone Sepia, but you can essentially use any creamy brown eyeshadow you have around.

I highly recommend the two shades I’m wearing here — warm brown Rayon Rays (outer lids) and shimmery peach each day Is Sunshine (inner lids) — if you’re searching for something flexible, because they both work with neutral and bold lips.
