^^^ I, too, am curious. Whenever I use shadows with glitter in them (Black Tied & Beauty Marked) I feel like I don't get as much glitter as I'd like.
The NARS "night" (?) eyeshadows are pretty damn good IMO. You get LOTS of glitter, be careful of that.

Girls, do you think it's worthy to make a tut of that Jungle Fever look? Some girls asked for it, but I'm not sure, 'cos my creasy is way too heavy and I feel the results would look completely different in normal creases. I just don't want to disappoint the girls who asked for it.

I don't have Beauty Marked, but I imagine I would use the 213 (275 works, too). They are fluff brushes, and they are what I use with any of my velvets (which beauty marked and black tied both are, yes?); for example, it works nicely with my climate blue, sketch and peppier. And, actually, I can make sketch blend - just make sure you have something good for blending as the other shadow involved.
I find it makes them pretty reasonable to work with. They still may not be the sexiest for blending, but you can sure as hell get them on.

God, my make up addicted drive wanted to live in the US so much 
I have to deal with the classics: Lancôme, Dior, Shiseido, MAC and a bunch of drugstore stuff. Plus, some shady brazilian brands. :O |

But, Sam (may I call you Sam or Sammy?), the problem with BM is he gorgeous appearance in the pan and it loses the glittery and looks just like a messy Carbon when applied.
Maybe I should just give up and use it as a substitute for carbon. I've tried so mant ways and nothing works. The blending makes it even worse. I've seem FOTD where the girls use Flammable as a base and it looks much better, but, still, I don't think it would work on dark eyes.

No. No Sam, no Sammy.
See, I find that the fluff brushes actually pick up some of the glitter! the bristles aren't as tightly packed together, and so that gives the glitter a larger surface to grab on to. At least, that's the logic in my head.

I have lots of friends in Europe, but things are much more expansive in euros. There's no one close enough to ask this kind of thing in the US.

What about S. ?
Some of my friends call me M. Actually, my list of nicknames goes on... and never stops!
OK, i'll try fluffy ones. I hope that helps, 'cos I'm not to give up easy, but BM is the only e/s I regret buying. :/

No NARS, MUFE, or UD?!?!?! How do you live?
Have you tried Ebay or some of the threads here? The red/black glitter NARS shadow is packed with glitter so it'll definitely show up.
I don't like using pressed shadows wet but that might work too...
And I'd love to see a tut, especially on how you line your eyes! It's amazing.
Once my skill improves and my collection grows, I plan to post a lot more fotds and tuts on here.
And by skill, I'm talking snowkei level. She's what I aspire to be makeup-talent-wise.

^^^ AHHH!!! My forehead looks so huge! D: D: D:
I hate getting braids but I'm so lazy with my hair. It's pretty much wash and go for me.
It's funny, and people have noticed this about me... I couldn't give a crap about my hair or clothes, but I always want my makeup to look hot. :/

I HATE Ebay. Sorry, but that my confession. I've found the threads here a bit confusing, I have to take some time and try again.
Snowkei is fantastic!
I'm not bad, well I think. I just never got pro lessons and learnt all by myself, when there wasn't much in the internet... even before the internet, actually. I used to ask travestites or anyone full of make up I saw in the streets.
I live without these brands because I end up working with what I have in my reach. They're not bad, just don't have the range you guys do with all the options.
But I'm not complaining. Just explaining some of my limits.

I wish we got more brands here, but I guess it makes them all the more special when I go to the states and I am finaly able to get them. I haven't found MUFE or UD here yet, but we are getting more brands here all the time. I found out a place downtown has NARS so I can't wait to go try it and see what everyone has been talking about.
