Glitter and Ice: Holiday Makeup Look

Today's post is a holiday makeup look featuring the NYC Individual Eyes Palette in Dark Shadows.

This palette is great for creating holiday looks because it features shimmery silvers and grays.

NYC Individual Eyes



It features a shimmery white color, a light gray, a dark gray and  a dark shimmery gray, which is almost black.

It also comes with a primer and illuminizer, which I was not found of either.

Here is the look I created using this palette!

I started with the light gray color and did a light wash all over the lid. Then I took the darker gray and put that in the outer corner of the lid. Third, I took the darkest gray and used this as my crease color. I used my Sigma E40 brush to blend all the colors together. I used the white color as my highlight and applied this with my Sigma E60 brush. I also used the darkest color to line my upper lash line. I used my Sigma E65 to apply the shadow for my liner.

I suggest when using this palette to put a piece of tape below the eye and next to the eye because these shadows have a lot of fallout from their dry texture and glitter.

This is a closer view of the eye look.
P.S. Ignore my eyebrows, I messed them up a while ago and need to let them grow back in

I really like how this look turned out and I can see myself wearing this look for New Years Eve.

Halloween Nails

Halloween was yesterday so I painted my nails to make them look a little bit more festive for the day since I wasn't dressing up. I paired my Sephora by OPI polish in Hi Def with the Wet n Wild Fergie polish in Rock n Roll.


I applied two coats of Hi Def then one coat of Rock n Roll. I was very impressed with the amount of glitter in this polish! I also applied my Beauty Secrets Top Coat.

Sephora by OPI polishes can be bought at Sephora.

Wet n Wild can be bought an drugstores.

Beauty Secrets Top Coat can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Did you paint your nais anything special for Halloween?
