I've seen tutorial videos of gals using eyelash glue to stick glitter on top of eyeshadow...I would not recommend that. You can use Medusa's The Fix or even use Vaseline and it works just fine. It's a lot easier to clean off than glue.
I also found Oil Slick to be annoying to use. The sparkles in it create a lot of drag which makes it more difficult to use. I'm used to using very smooth/wet liner. So the liner didn't turn out as smooth and sleek as it normally is for me. Oh well!
So cute! I really like this on you, even if you don't :P That butterfly is super pretty as well!
ReplyDeleteI agree about Oil Slick or, really, any 24/7 liner with sparkles in it. They just don't work as well.
And...I really can't believe people would use lash glue on their lids to fix glitter! Aggghhh, such a horrible idea! Do they WANT wrinkles?
Omg eyelash glue? D: Fail.
ReplyDeleteI like that butterfly! It's my fav. :D
This is pretty! If it makes you feel better, I always have days where nothing ever really turns out how I want. :( haha
Lisa Kate,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you like it.
I was pretty annoyed using the liner. I had to keep running it back and forth to get it to work with me.
I REALLY don't get the lash glue thing. I have seen very well known gals use it in videos. While I'm not dogging on them for that, it's just a really unnecessary thing to use when there are other things that work better, are easier to work with and wash off well. So why do they use glue??? Again, I don't get it!
Julissa,
Heh heh. Seriously! Just go look up "glitter look" on you tube and a lot will use eyelash glue to apply it. Just seems so messy and annoying. I have no idea who came up with that idea but it's totally weird to me. Doesn't sound comfortable either.
Thank you! I think we all have weird makeup days. I know I can't be the only one! I figured I'd post it anyway, even though I'm not particularly happy with it. After all, perfect is boring, right??? :-)
a very long time ago a drag queen glued false lashes to me with weave bond. People do horrifying things sometimes...
ReplyDeleteYou look flawless.
CthuLynny,
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that's crazy! Thank you. :-)
Very pretty look :)
ReplyDeleteHey! you look lovely! I'm in love with your long curly lashes! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like the far looks of this one better then close up...Idont know why you would use eyelash glue that sounds painful. I don't know maybe the glitter I used was different but I never had to use anything on top of my eyeshadow to get it to stay...but I guess if your using glitter as eyeshadow it will be different.
ReplyDeletePhyrra,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
The Beautifier,
Aw, thank you! These things are beastly sometimes!
ZombieKitten,
Thank you. :-) I don't either but some gals use it all the time. Just sounds so annoying.
