Hi everyone

As much as I love a matte eye, I have to say I really love adding some glitter to my eyeballs … whether all over the lid, as eye liner or just on the inner corner … I love it all!! At the moment, I have four brands of glitters that I tend to reach for (two loose and two glitter liners), which I’ll talk about more below.

GLITTER LINERS
Urban Decay Heavy Metal: This was my first introduction to glitter and I have to say that I would recommend this to anyone trying glitter for the first time. This liner has an extremely thin brush, which gives you great control over the application process, especially if you’re doing a glitter line. This glitter liner comes in 6 colours and is available to buy in-store in Debenhams for €19.00.

Collection 2000 Glam Crystals: I came across this brand when searching for a liner similar to Urban Decay’s limited edition black glitter. This product is quite comparable to the Urban Decay glitter liner, but the brush is slightly thicker. However, these glitter liners are a fraction of the price at €3.99. They come in 10 colours and are available to buy from either Boots or Superdrug.

LOOSE GLITTERS
Lit Cosmetics: I discovered this glitter from Mia Smith (Instagram: makeupbymia). This was the first brand of loose glitter that I tried. These glitters are really beautiful and finely milled. I purchase mine from www.beautybay.com (free delivery over €18) orshop.fabulousmakeup.co.uk. They are currently on sale on BeautyBay so now is a good time to check them out.  They can be purchased in size 2 and size 3. If this is your first time trying loose glitter there’s plenty in size 2 to get you started.

Certifeye: I first saw these glitters on Champagne Whisper’s Instagram page (champagnewhisper). It was love at first sparkle and I knew I had to try them straight away. These glitters are also finely milled and they come in a full range of beautiful colours. I have to mention the packaging, as they come in the cutest bottles so they’ll look great on your makeup table. The bottles come in mini and full size versions with prices ranging from €6.00 to €10.00. (Delivery is €5.)

I’ll do a separate post on how to apply loose glitter so keep an eye out for that.

Until next time…
