Pixi Glitter-y Eye Quads

If you saw my last post, you'll have seen the basis for this look already. I had worn it out for lunch and when I got home I decided to play around with my new Pixi Glitter-y Eye Quad and amp it up a bit. I added some of the holographic glitter with my finger and blended it out with a brush and then added the Glossier Lip Gloss over the matte liquid lipstick I was already wearing. I loved how it turned out, the look was already quite dramatic with the winged liner and bright pink lips but I think the fact that the glitter isn't pigmented and neither is the gloss means it's not too over the top, not that there's anything wrong with that. The L'Oréal Rouge Signature Matte Liquid Lipsticks are the perfect base for layering under a gloss as they're a light texture but with great colour payoff and a long lasting formula so if the gloss fades throughout the day, the pigment remains. 

There are three colour ways of these Pixi Glitter-y Eye Quads, the other two are GoldLava (gold/neutrals) and RoseBronze (warm pinks and purples). I bought the BluePearl one because I don't have any blue or green glitter, whereas I do have gold, red and rose gold from other brands so I wanted to buy something different. The glitter is in a cream formula that you can pat on your eyes with your finger or with a brush for more precision, however the latter causes more fallout. I love that you can use these so easily to create impact quickly, either as a topper or alone. As you can see from the swatches the blue, green and silver shades all have great pigmentation whereas the holographic one would be perfect to use on top of any eyeshadow shade.
