We Made the Impossible Happen: 7 (Work-Appropriate) Days of Glitter MakeupThink glitter makeup can't coexist with office life? We thought so, too. Until this happened |
Glitter Makeup Challenge: Day 5 The Look: I decided to go all out on the glitter for this look. Five coats in, and I reached what I never thought possible: My maximum glitter capacity. My eyelids were saturated. But Urban Decay's Bondage Weightless Makeup Adhesive, $19, kept the glitter on my lids and out of my eyes. I went around all night showing people that I could touch my eyelid and absolutely not one little piece of glitter eye shadow came off on my finger. Amazing.
Office Reaction: Surprisingly, I was on the receiving end of only one weird look (in the bathroom, by a woman who may or may not have thought I was a lady of the night).
Sister Says: "It reminds me of Elsa, but chic."
Strangers' Reaction: To my dismay, we ended up eating at a casual salad shop for Friday night dinner -- not exactly the glamorous night out I had planned when I put on my glitter makeup. But no one seemed phased at all when I walked in and placed my order. And I got several compliments later in the night, reaffirming what I already discovered: I should always wear glitter eye shadow when I go out
My Comfort Level: The only thing that really made me uncomfortable about this look was the fact that I was going to have to scrape it off my eyelids at the end of the night. Luckily, it was surprisingly easy to get off with a few swipes of makeup remover, even after a glass (or two) of wine.
