Faces Sparkle Dust Stackable Glitter Review, Swatches, Ways to Use
Hi guys, If you remember Faces Cosmetics had stack of pigment eyeshadows, they had a different name earlier, they have relaunched it with a new name and they are called Stackables now, since you can stack 4-5 shades one upon the other.
These come in 4 different families of colors, Wild i.e. more greens and blues, Zeebra i.e monochromes grey, white, black, Whish i.e. loads of bright colors and finally Glitter which are all glitter pigments and mostly metallic.
I am reviewing the Glitter one today.
What the Company claims: This concentrated shimmer is especially handy when you want shimmery, sultry eyes or to create unforgettable drama. Available in stacks of inspired color themes to help you create the most unique and stunning look.
MRP: Rs. 899/- (Available for INR 764 on Nykaa but currently OOS)
While the rest stackables have 5 shades and are priced at 799, the Glitter one has 6 shades and priced at 899.
I love how they are perfectly stacked one upon the other and you cannot misplace any shade as all have to be together since the base of one pigment jar is the cap of the other. Which also means you cannot carry them individually :/ I would have loved if they came with additional separate 4 caps to carry them individually too.
I absolutely love each and every shade in this Glitter Stackable, there are numerous options you can do with this.
Silver- True cool toned silver
Gold – Warm bronzy gold
White – My favourite, pure white with blue green duochrome effect.
Sky Blue – True Sky Blue mixed with a bit of silver
Plum – Aubergine Plum with gold
Deep Navy Blue – Deep Navy Blue with silver
What I love most about these is that the glitter is very finely milled and not at all chunky, it’s not like thick glitter much visible to eye and you cannot feel this. This feels soft and almost like a powder, even though it’s a glitter.
Numerous ways in which you can use these pigments:
1. As an eyeshadow obviously. You can dampen your brush with a makeup setting spray, take the pigment and apply directly on the lid.
2. Use glitter glue/Duraline and make an eyeliner with it, you can make 6 different colored eyeliners.
3. Mix with clear nail paint to get colored glitter nail paint. I would suggest taking some in an empty nail paint bottle or some base as you don’t want to mix the complete nail paint with single glitter option when you can try multiple options every time 🙂
4. Make only one figure glittery like the ring finger, I love doing this and as you can see I have done that above.
5. Try glitter french manicure by applying clear top coat on the tips and dipping them in glitter.
6. You can also use the white glitter one as highlighter, the matte sparkle dust in pinks/plums as blushes.
7. Use the white to highlight cupid’s bow too and mattify your pink/purple lipsticks by just dabbing some matte pigment on top. It will also make the colors look vivid and makes the lipsticks stay longer. A makeup artist tried that once on me during a shoot and the lipstick stayed much longer and I loved how vibrant and matte it looked.
There are endless possibilities with pigments and glitters in makeup. Experiment and have fun, my most favourite ways of using are definitely as eyeliner and single nail with glitter.
I would definitely recommend getting the Faces Stackables, the color option is something that depends on your personality and kind of makeup you look. If you are more into basic smokey, go for Zeebra. If you love colors, go for Whish while the Glitter one definitely has multiple uses and can work for everyone. Also I would suggest buying it from Nykaa only when it is on discount, coz INR 764 is a great deal.
What about you? Do you like playing with pigments?
