Silver glitter eyeshadow

Hello, does anyone know where i can get silver glitter eyeshadow? Its for my daughter, her Prom is friday.

We have bought loads that are just not right. What she is after is one that really stands out and is really glittery, all the ones we have bought are much too subtle.
She does not want subtle!!
I understand there is a type of roll on eyeshadow that might be right but dont know what its called or where to start looking for it.
CAN ANYONE HELP?

  • dunno about a really glittery eyeshadow, but the silver glittery liquid eyeliners that lots of places (many different brands) are dong at the mo are very glittery! Maybe a thick lin of that over the less glittery eyeshadow might create the desired effect - Hope that helps

    Thanks, i think that is exactly what she wants, a thin glittery line.
    Never thought it might be an eyeliner, now i think i know what i am looking for.

    Thank you
  • Barry M eyedust from boots or superdrug i think?
  • Look for a liquid glitter eyeliner, not a pencil - its almost like a gel with fine glitter suspended in it, and goes on really sparkly.

    For maximum effect put it on after eyeshadow (maybe over one of the too-subtle silvers, or another colour!) but before mascara. If you put it on, let it dry, then put a bit more on you seem to get the maximum sparkle!

    If you go to boots or superdrug there should be a few to choose from, its very 'in' at the moment - my friend said she got hers from Tesco, I bought some from TJ Hughes, but have seen it in lots of shops.

    Good luck!

    Collection 2000 do a really good silver glitter eyeliner. It really stands out and looks fantastic. Otherwise try The Body Shop - i know they were doing them but not sure if they were limited editions. I wear the glitter eyeliners all the time - i love them. xxx

    I second the Collection 2000 one! It has LOADS of glitter and it's only £2.99. I have it in silver and green and they're both fantastic!

    In case anyone else is looking, the Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter liners are fantastic. You can buy them in bigger Boots stores.
    Here I go again on my own....
