It's all about the drama.... & glitter!

I was bored tonight, as always. I decided to go to my makeup desk and just sit there for a minute. I knew I wanted to do something with glitter, but I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. I went through my glitter stash and found a red/burgandy glitter that I've never used. I'm not sure where it's from because it's in a sample jar with no name. I got it as an extra in a makeup swap once. Anyway, I decided to go kind of dramatic since I was going to use that color glitter. It isn't anything fancy schmancy, but I liked it.

I only did one eye as you can see, but I would definitely do a dark, vampy lip with this look if I did the entire face. I know that a lot of people prefer nude with such a dramatic eye, but I think a dark lip would look amazing with this. How would you wear this look?

Products Used:

Black e/s in Wet'n'Wild Greed palette (LOVE this black)

Red-ish glitter

Glitter & Rhinestones: A Girl's Best Friend

I was going to start my tropical bird series this week, but I purchased some pigments (crazy, bright pigments) that I want to use on some of the looks. So, I got bored and decided to do this. I'm not crazy about it because the glitter decided to chunk up in some areas, and you really can't see the rest in the pictures. I'm still getting used to liquid liner because I don't use it that much. I prefer my gel liner. Anyway, here is a look I came up with. I hope you like it.

See how the glitter looks chunky? And you can't see the rest? Ugh. Fail.

The last two pictures are pretty similar, but you can see the crease and transition colors better in the middle picture.
