I have to admit—my makeup routine has been pretty dismal these last few weeks. Why? I’ve been so caught up testing new products for my skin that I realized the last time I posted a makeup review was February. That, and this past weekend was the first time I put on foundation in about two weeks. But my lips say otherwise.
I love wearing bright lipsticks (yes, lipstick > lipgloss). My lipstick color choices are always rich in bold, vibrant hues and these shades from Scorch Makeup, a new brand I recently discovered, is right up my alley.
I used to be that girl that would comb through every glitter smokey eye tutorial in every magazine, hoping I would find that secret tip or trick to give me that flawless smokey eye look. Truth is I never found it. If you’ve never tried glitter eyeshadow, lemmetellya… it’s super messy. And covering up any mistakes? Forget about it! After endless YouTube video plays, countless glitter shadow testing and brush hunting, I finally figured it out. The secret to a sultry glitter smokey eye has has nothing to do with finding the “right” product but everything to do with technique. Of course, a product that actually delivers is definitely a factor but we all know, practice makes perfect. So don’t expect perfection the first time you try it. And I highly recommend test driving the look before your night on the town. You can check out my step-by-step guide to a glitter smokey eyes on Glitter Guide here.
