Like all Barry M eyeshadows, Glitter Dusts are housed in sturdy, chunky little pots with a black screw top lid. Now - before anyone says 'THEY AREN'T EYESHADOW DO NOT PUT GLITTER NEAR YOUR EYES!' they actually are (kinda) eyeshadows. It's lots of eye safe glitter with an eyeshadow base, the base for 'Gold Irridescent' is a pearly pale cream. The fact that glitter dusts have a base to them means that they apply and stick better than regular loose glitters.
'Gold Irridescent' is...well...irridescent gold. It's primarily a pale gold, but has different sized glitter particles, some of which shine bronzey peach or green. The varying sizes and multiple colours make this utterly stunning! It's less 'flat' that usual glitters and really comes to life applied over a sticky glitter base.
And here's the main reason I bought 'Gold Iridescent, to dab over the top of dark eyeshadows. It totally transforms them and could be a really simple, effective way to make eye make-up a little more interesting. It's not all about dramatic looks though, I've been wearing a touch over a bare lid for some everyday glitter!
Available from Boots, Superdrug and online for £4.59, look out for 3 for 2 offers.

It looks stunning! For some reason, when I saw the swatches I immediately thought of Mac's "Vanilla" pigment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea to layer it over dark eye shadows! :)
