Purple Rain

A couple of weeks ago I did a sixties inspired liner look but I wasn't crazy about how the liner turned out so I did what I always do when I want to salvage my makeup- added glitter!

I bought this Pixi Beauty Glitter-y Eye Quad a while ago and haven't played with it much so I tried out the purple glitter shade in a winged shape over my existing liner and I really loved the finished look. The glitters are a cream formula which makes them so easy to work with. I used a flat brush to apply it in a winged out graphic shape and barely had to tidy it up at all as the glitter adheres to your lids straight away. I have the BluePearl quad too, which you may have seen me use here and here. These quads are great for anyone who wants to try out glitter but doesn't want to faff around with loose glitter pigments, glitter glue and fallout. With these products you get a lot of impact with very little skill or effort.

I'm still testing out the new No7 Foundation since my last post and so far I'm really loving it, I might do a full post on it and compare it to the IT Cosmetics CC Cream which I find is quite similar.

The two lip glosses I used are both inexpensive and beautiful on. I lined my lips first with my trusty No7 Precision Lips Pencil that I've used for years and although it's not pictured, I actually very slightly lined the very outside of my lips with the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Brown as I was going for the 60s Sharon Tate look and apparently that's a trick she used on her lips. I applied the e.l.f. Lip Plumping Gloss all over in a light layer and then the Catrice one on top in the centre of my lips as it's lighter and more pink toned. I'll try the sixties look again as people seemed to really love it when I tried it first and posted it on Instagram
