Yup! I know, right? What a huge shocker… After you finish doing your smoky eye, if you feel like full-on hot dayum drama, get a glitter eyeshadow, and pop that ish on your lids.

The $21 urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadows are great for this.

And after!

The Moondust shadows come in a pan and include much more glitter than pigment, so you don’t get a ton of eyeshadow-y color with them, but you do get a lot of glittery sparkle.

Using them to turn a smoky eye into a smokin’ hot smoky eye is as easy as 1, 2, 3…

Grab a glitter shadow that’ll choose your smoky eye. here I’m wearing a blue and teal smoky eye, so I’m using glittery turquoise urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Zodiac.

Load a flat eyeshadow brush with your glitter, then spritz it with a makeup mist or setting spray (something like MAC Fix+ will work great) to wet the brush head. I’m using Avene Thermal spring Water (just because it was close by at the time).

Carefully pat — not swipe — the glitter on your lids in the area around your lash line. try to avoid dragging it up into the crease, because we want to keep the glitter concentrated on our lids.

If that’s not enough drama for you (I completely understand), finish with false lashes! I’m wearing the beauty salon ideal Demi Wispies.
