Christmas and Glitter party look for the season

So it is Christmas season and it is the best time to use glitter eye shadows for the parties. I was so lucky to get the NYX glitter eye shadow from Gifty's Daughter during the festive season. To see the NYX glitter palette in a previous post Click here.

My aim was to do a look that would still do justice to Yazi's place motto which is Be natural, Be beautiful, Be you.

Outside in the natural light

So I took the picture outside and then realised this was a party look and I wanted to see how it would hold under the camera flash so I went back in the house and took some shots.

The first thing I did was use a light purple (matte) eye shadow on my eyelid and then used a darker purple and some brown at the outer corner of my eyes.

Now I got a stiff brush and then gently dabbed (did not rub) the pink glitter eye shadow. I placed it exactly where I wanted it to stay..

I also used a shimmery blush from Sleek for my cheeks. I guess the shimmer is very subtle.

So this is the look with my eyes opened and with the camera flash. Definitely rocking this look for my birthday.....

Nouba eyeshadow

Swatch of the eyeshadow

I love this eyeshadow. The red colour just glides easily into your skin. For a very dark skinned lady like me i am always in the search of colours that show on my skin. Great shadow to have for the holidays and it has some glitter in it that I love.

NYX glitter cream eyeshadow

I don't think the season would be complete without glitter. Perfect way to bling your look for that Christmas or new year party.

NYX jumbo pencil in Milk

Swatch of NYX jumbo pencil

NYX jumbo pencils are very creamy and glide easily which is great since the eye area is very sensitive. Comes in an array of vibrant colours. My favourite is white and black....

Beauties Factory

Swatch on my hand

The Beauties Factory eye shadows come in an array of colours and you can have the 3 pan, 6pan and so on and so forth. The great thing about t is that you can choose whatever colours you like and in my true form i went for yellow, orange and white.lol.

The eye shadow is matte and chalky but like i was told when put over a creamy base it works just fine.


Don't forget the discounts run through out December.
