Even days after shooting this look I’m still finding bits of glitter everywhere! It’s like sand, others who’ve used glitter in looks will understand my pain. Still, I’ve been wanting to do something like this look for the longest time, I think it could have used a bit more work (fix the hair, more glitter on the jawline), but it isn’t too bad for a first try. I wanted to illustrate the idea of diamond trickling down the side of my face.
I made the silver ball myself, one of my props 🙂 Unfortunately the glue I used ate away at the gems so it isn’t as shiny as I had originally hoped 🙁 It started as a foam ball which I covered in foil and then glued about 4 packs worth of gems on :/ Tres expensive, but totally worth it for Book of Fables 🙂 Enjoy!

Face
Prime, apply foundation, concealer and powder to set. It’s always important to contour the face before you apply any additional detail, to get a solid base. So start by applying bronzer to the temples, hollows of the cheeks and jawline. Apply blush to your cheek bones, then take a highlighter to the high points of your face.
Eyes
Prime your lids and apply a white eyeliner to the inner corner of your eyes and brown bone. Then apply a light tanned eye shadow powder all over the lid up to the brow bone, take a medium taupe and apply to your crease. Finally take a dark silver shade and apply to the outer corner of your eyes, then take a shimmery white powder to the inner corner of your eyes and brow bone (over the areas you applied the white eyeliner).
Line your upper lash line with a black liquid liner, then your waterline with a black eyeliner pencil. Curl your lashes and apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes.
The fun part! Any areas you want the place silver glitter that is not your eye area, spray Fix+ then dab on the silver glitter. For the eye area, take a glitter gel made for eyes and apply, then dab the silver glitter over it. Take some iridescent glitter and place it over the silver on any of your high points. Dab small amounts of eye lash glue then place the gems over.
Lips
Line and fill in your lips with a lip pencil, then coat your lips with a mauve rose lip colour. Then apply a shimmery beige lip colour to the center of your lips.
Another amazing look! You’re so creative
Thank you kindly 🙂 That’s very sweet of you to say <3
OMG! I’m dying for this! This is incredible!
Thank you! 😀 Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Wow! This reminds me of Britney’s semi-nude, glittery shots in her Toxic clip… But much better. (;
LOL Thank you ;D Now that you mentioned it, I can’t get the song out of my head!
This look so amazingly gorgeous. You look like an ice/silver princess fairy.

Aww thank you so much, that really touches me 🙂 Fables are my favourite posts to make on this blog, they are the reason I started in the first place! Thank you for your kind and motivating words 🙂
That is so pretty. *A*

what are you going to do with the gem-ball?k (future disco in the works? :))
Thanks!! I’m not sure yet, I’ve added it to the “props” pile for now, you never know when something like this could come in handy 😀
Amazing! Absolutely ethereal and gorgeous!
Thanks so much Nadia, was so nice to see you again last Thursday <3 Hopefully I will soon this week once again at Myer 😀
I don’t know if you’ll recognise me from Youtube but I asked about the air-inspired look. I found the link to your original blog (obviously since I’m here haha) and now I’m going through your looks and I just wanted to say that this is beautiful! This could be useful for the look I was going for maybe? But it is truely beautiful. You said you used Fix+ to use the glitter on your face. What exactly is that? Is it something you’d have to buy especially or could I use a glue stick/primer?
Also I thought I should let you know that the link to this page isn’t quite right. I only got on because I realised the error in the url and made a lucky guess 😛 Thought I should let you know.
Amazing work.
