1. NYX Professional Makeup Diamonds & Ice Please Shadow Jelly Glitter Eye Shadow
This jelly formula glitter eyeshadow has the ultimate colour payoff you’re looking for in an eyeshadow. Highly pigmented and sparkly, you’ll simply need to dab and blend a small amount onto your lids for a bright, sparkly finish.
If you have concerns about the texture of the jelly eyeshadow, fret not, because it dries quickly and won’t smudge.
NYX Professional Makeup Diamonds & Ice Please Shadow Jelly Glitter Eye Shadow retails for S$16.50 at LookFantastic.
2. Illamasqua Pure Pigment
This high-shine, pure-colour powder isn’t just for the eyes – you can use it to highlight and accentuate your cheeks and brow bones too!
Available in an eye-catching selection of metallic hues, including pinks, browns, and blacks, this gives you so much potential for the looks that you can create. This versatile glitter powder can be worn alone, or mixed with eyeshadow and blusher to add a glittering shimmer finish. Alternatively, you can also mix it with Sealing Gel and apply using a fine brush for a shimmering liquid eye liner!
Pro-tip: Apply over a cream texture eg. an eye primer for a bolder, more dramatic colour pay off.
Illamasqua Pure Pigment retails for S$31.50 at LookFantastic.
3. Nabla Ruby Lights Glitter Palette
This eyeshadow quad is just perfect for the festive season! With an intense glitter formula and minimal fallout, this quad could easily be your go-to shadows for any fancy events.
The four shades include Ruby, an intense red, Virgo, a mauve, Capricorn, a duochrome copper gold, and Whisper, a rose coral. And of course, all the shades have shiny reflects in them that shift and reflect under light.
