However, I know that some artists will use eye gloss for runway shows and photo shoots. The gloss gives eyes a wet look but for glitter, it may slide off! When I was a teen, I used a kohl eyepencil for my brows and I cannot believe how bad it looked even though at the time, I thought I knew what I was going! lol!!<br /><br />Shrinky: I have heard that most of the Illamasqua line is amazing! I love their nail polish colors! The MAC Pro eyeliner gel is great but it needs a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. If I let my glitter gel mix dry on its own, glitter tends to transfer to my upper lids! Another line of makeup I want to try is Ben Nye. It is theatre makeup but I heard their sealers are the bomb! And, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you too!<br /><br />Clare: The gel for sealing glitters is a must! Also, if you prefer a more convenient way to wear glitter, Urban Decay has a set of vibrant colored glitters suspended in a clear gel (that dries fast) that come in a tube with a small brush attached. I have the silver one and I love it! <br /><br />Betty2Tone: Thank you so much! I am totally hanging out on NYE with the cats. I am over traveling, shopping, and cooking for a while. I think we are going to get some snacks, open a bottle of champagne, and watch TV! <br /><br />Penny: Thank you so much! I had fun experimenting with the glitter but I think I prefer Urban Decay's glitter gel. Even though MAC Pro's glitter is prettier in terms of color range, the Urban Decay is easier to work with.<br /><br />Erin: I love Sweet and Punchy too! When MAC debuted "Back to the Beach" this summer, I knew I had to have that shadow as soon as I saw it! Rubenesque Paint Pot works well with it too! It really brings out the golden tones in Sweet and Punchy nicely. I have never heard of Fyrinnae before! Thanks for the tip! I have to go check it out for sure!<br /><br />Fiona: I was never really into glitter before either. I always equated it with teen girls and club goers. Now, I think it can really be lovely and glamorous (and elegant) when used correctly. It is all about experimenting and finding out what works for you.<br /><br />GingerGirl: Thank you so much for the compliment!<br /><br />Ms Wanda: MAC Pro Eyeliner gel is fantastic and Urban Decay glitter gels are fun. The color range goes from gold, silver, vibrant greens, hot pink, to aqua blue and purple. <br /><br />Glamour Daze: Thank you!<br /><br />Autumn: Thanks! My brows are tinted and waxed at my local salon every 5-6 weeks. Normally, my brows are a pale blonde. I used pencil for years but it was so tine-consuming and I had a tendency to make my brows looks heavy-handed and uneven. I have been getting my brows done professionally for 11 years and I have never looked back!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-48432812176882258332010-12-22T08:30:04.340-08:002010-12-22T08:30:04.340-08:00Wow super pretty!

When I was young, I used to put unscented, clear lipgloss on my lids to help it stay put! *lol* Sounds crazy, but it worked. Your hair is gorgeous too. I love snoods for important "grown-up" events because they're classy and elegant but still vintage. I'm with you, we're also staying home and partying with our cats on new year's eve!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.com
