Glossy Eyeshadow

An alternative way to look glossy is to use some shimmer powder on the center of the lid, it almost looks like gloss.
(it´s also mentioned on the Kevyn Aucin book Making Faces)
 
miss lilly high maintenance in a sense
that you have to constantly touch it up
or the gloss settles in creases . . .
i adore the look though ;]
 
I got one from a market in france, and the rest from Ruby and Millie...
 
Actual gloss, not just shimmery/frosty eyeshadow, should be left in photographs only. Not only does it look silly in real life, but it's pretty much literally impossible to have not crease. It does look really nice in the photos, though! I'm pretty sure MAC has eye gloss but it might only be available at their Pro stores.
 
I do it with Lancome's Sweet Balm in Lait de Coco. It makes my lids really pale and shiny. It looks kinda hot. And it doesn't crease. :D
 
I finally got the YSL glossy touch, it's great ! & gives you the glow you need whether on ur eyelids, cheeks, or lips. I'm falling in luv with it :wub:

Thanks Susie_bubble for the recommendation :)

Great tip!^ Gloss tends to crease the base colour and after a while it looks a bit of a mess.
 
I'd always loved this look in photo shoots, but I tried it on myself by accident. I'd gone out in the morning without any make-up on, which works for me, but by mid-afternoon, I was freaking out, hating how I was looking that day. PMS, anyone? :rolleyes: So I quickly scurried through my purse, only to find a single tube of a nonsticky gloss in a light color. I thought, "Eh, what the heck," and proceeded to use gloss as eyeshadow, blush, and, shockingly, lip gloss. I was at a try anything point that moment, but I actually ended up getting considerable compliments on the look. A bit strange, but what gets you through the day, huh? I wish I could remember which gloss it was, however. That might be helpful.
 
theres a really good gloss from Becca (Australian company, but pretty available) and its called Bird Of Paradise gloss. I think its designed for eyelids but its rather multipurpose and u can use it on your cheekbones etc.
