Tom Ford Golden Mink Eye Palette Pictorial (aka what to do with sparkle shades in eye palettes)
—
If you’ve ever tried or bought one of those palettes with some transparent sparkly shades, you’ll know they sometimes aren’t the most easy to work with. The glitter shades come in a transparent base, so when you apply them alone, there is almost no color. Just a scattering of sparkles.
Tom Ford’s Eyeshadow Palette 01 Golden Mink is one of those.
Tip: You can wear the glitter shades on their own as a wash all over the lid, but my preferred way of wearing them is as accents, to create a gleaming, “wet” effect when you blink.
This is a warm-toned face I very often wear on work days and lazy days.
