Hi Guys! I’m so excited to share this make up look with you. I wanted to create something that was classic, but still really fun, so this is what I came up with! I love the way the glitter liner catches the light and makes your eyes sparkle. This is also a really great look if you want to do winged eyeliner, but are still working on your skills because the liner doesn’t have to be perfect since you’re covering it with glitter. If glitter isn’t your thing, you can totally skip that step and just create the perfect classic look. All the products I used are listed below. Along with some tips and tricks. Enjoy!
Skin
Moisturizer: Georgette Klinger Coconut Cleansing Milk
Primer: Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot Use my fingers to apply.
Foundation: L’Oréal True Match in shade W4. Used a damp Beauty Blender to apply.
Concealer: NYX Hi Definition Photo Concealer Wand in shade 04 Beige. This is a HOLY GRAIL concealer for me. I can’t even begin to tell you how many tubes I’ve gone through of this. I like it better than the Nars Creamy Concealer. I applied using a damp Beauty Blender.
Setting Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Again, with the Beauty Blender. lol I used the opposite side that I used to apply the concealer, and dipped directly into the powder.
Contour: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer Forever in love with this bronzer. I’ve hit pan on mine, and am currently trying to get every last bit out of the corners because I love it that much. Applied with a MAC 109 Brush.
Bronzer: The Balm Betty-Lou Manizer This is another HOLY GRAIL product for me. I focus this mostly on my cheeks and forehead, and then with whatever left on the brush, apply it to the rest of my face. It gives a such a beauty healthy sheen to the skin without being glittery. I get compliments on my skin all the time when I have this on. Applied with the Crown Brush C320 Pro Precision Pointed Powder Brush.
Blush: Tarte Amzonian Clay Blush in Smashing. This shade was actually part of the Bling It On Holiday blush set from last year. I looked it up, and I think that shade may have just been available in that set, but any neutral pinky blush will do! When I’m doing a red lip, I love to have pink on the cheeks. I think it’s such a classic look. Just be careful. You don’t want to go over-board, and look like a clown.
Highlight: Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in Molten Gold. If you are looking for a drugstore highlighter, I highly recommend this one. It’s so pigmented, and leaves a beautiful gold sheen to the face.

Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Brow bone and lid shadow: Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette in shade Strange. I never knew I would feel some type-a-way about a pale neutral shade, but I do! This has a really pretty satin finish without being too bright or shimmery. I’ve hit pan on this, will probably end up buying the palette again for this one shade. UD needs to come out with this shade as a single eyeshadow! Use any flat shader brush to pack this shadow on.
Crease shadow: Just use a warm mid-tone brown. I used a shadow from another limited-edition pallet (sorry!). You could also use bronzer. Bronzer works amazing as crease shade, and you probably already have it! Just keep it matte for this look. I used the MAC 217 Blending Brush to apply. This is another HOLY GRAIL item for me.
Black Eyeliner: Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner This is an oldie-but-goodie. I applied using a Morphe M250-1 Detail Liner brush. This is $2.50 on their site. Kinda a no-brainer to grab one! It makes the wing so easy to do because the brush is so tiny. And a little pro tip: I dip the brush in a little bit of eye make up remover because dipping it into the eyeliner. It makes the liner go on more smooth.
Waterline Eyeliner: Rimmel London Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner in shade 005 Nude. Not sure if you can tell in the photos, but I have this liner in my bottom waterline. I love doing this trick to help open up your eyes, and make them look bigger. I also like using a nude shade rather than a bright white shade. It looks more natural.
Glitter liner: Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy. I’ve used a lot of glitter in my day (growing up a cheerleader), and this is by far my favorite glitter eyeliner.
Mascara: You already know…. L’Oréal Telescopic in Carbon Black. AKA the only mascara I will ever use.
Eyelashes: Ardell Demi Wispies I wanted to keep the lashes pretty natural for this look so they didn’t hide the liner, and plus this look had a lot of other things going on.
Eyelash Glue: Duo Lash Adhesive in black.
Brow powder: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Soft Brown. I mostly use the lighter shade, and occasionally will use the darker to fill in the ends of my brows. I use the #7B Brush to apply.
Brow gel: L’Oréal Brow Stylist Plumper in Medium to Dark. I love this. On most days, I don’t use any powder to fill in my brows, and will just sweep this on. It fills in your brows really good on it’s own.

Liner: NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Hot Red.
Lipstick: MAC Matte Lipstick in Russian Red. This is the perfect classic blueish-red lipstick.
Concealer: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Medium. I took some of this concealer on a Sigma F70 Brush to clean up the line, and make it really sharp. Then, I set it with some of the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder.
