Twinkle in my eye
Really, you don’t have to feel like a Studio 54 club kid to wear glitter (though it doesn’t hurt to have that sort of moxie!).
My fave way to add a little sparkle to my eyes is lining only my lower eyelid with gold Urban Decay “Heavy Metal” eyeliner. It’s a subtle attempt when I’m not feeling ballsy enough to go for the full-out shimmer effect. I find most people do a double-take when the light hits the glitter at certain angles.
I’m not so much of a daily make-up person (save for eyeshadow and mascara), but I love experimenting with beauty products when I feel my outfits aren’t loud enough on their own. So please share your ideas on how you rock glitter! I’d really like to know what products you use and how you apply them. I could use more sparkle in my life.

Woah! That sounds craaaaaazy cool. But I’m with you, I’d prob get all that glitter all over my eyes. Wonder if makeup companies ever considered producing shimmery mascara? I don’t know if I’ve seen them. But they have color mascaras, why not mascara with teeney tiny crushed glitter? I’d give it a whirl.

I love glitter!!!!! I enjoy a nice pencil liner, pink with gold glitter. NARS has a beautiful one called Roxy and i just got one from MAC. It is subtle that way. Like my eyes are naturally glittery. Like a fairy. Duh.
PS. Jinnie, your eyes are pretty.
