Glossy Eyes


First used in black and white hollywood films, the glossy eye has been firmly reinstated at the forefront of fashion. It looks great but requires major upkeep, so it is a definite no no for everyday wear.

Glossy Eyes Applying Tips

  • Prepare eyelids with foundation and powder.
  • Add a generous scoop of loose powder underneath your lower lashes. This will catch any falling color pigments and can be swept off easily afterwards.
  • Then choose your favourite single eyeshadow color (anything from baby pink to citrous orange) and sweep it generously, and evenly, from the lash line right upto the brow bone. Gently dust off any fallen color shadow with a large powder brush
  • Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. At this point, once the gloss is applied, you will run the risk of smudging your lids and eyelashes.
  • Remember that this look works best on the very young. For anyone over 35, creamy shadows are far more flattering.
