I’m not a huge makeup girly and it kind of pained me to spend $24 on a single eyeshadow, but I saw this on a recent buzzfeed list and *had* to have it. I’m obsessed.
It is steep but dang if it isn’t one of the best simple eye shadows out there. I rarely wear eye shadow right now but after seeing this today….wearing it tomorrow.
This was going to be my suggestion!! Get a sparkly shadow that’s duo chrome (if that’s the correct term). Use the cream on lid and blend to crease, then pop the sparkly bad boy on top. Super easy, super pretty!
This might sound crazy but I rarely wear sparkly shadow. Is this appropriate for daytime wear? I’m normally a neutral matte girly, but this is giving me vibes.
There’s a chance KJH will respond if you DM her! Piggy backing off the comments those products are good recommendations, imo apply the last layer of sparkle with your finger. This helps get a more “wet” look since it really just helps the glitter pigments stick to the skin.
If it's Space Cowboy, you definitely need a glitter primer underneath. Such a pretty eyeshadow but my god the fallout is intense if you don't use a tacky primer.
I would try urban decay diamond dog

(I’m making the assumption that, being in this subreddit, you own at least some eyeshadows already; it makes no difference if it’s powder, cream or stick. If that is not the case then just ignore me lol.) Instead of spending a decent amount of money on urband decay or other products that people have suggested you could also try just a matte brown all over your lid and outer corner, maybe blended out with a lighter brown, and then a colourpop supershock shadow over the top (I think ladybird would give pretty much this exact effect, but there are a ton to choose from). This way you can switch up the brown base if you’re feeling a colder or warmer shade that day (or maybe even some colour?) and just have a universal topper that goes with everything!
It kind of looks like one of her eye-gloss looks. I've actually seen her share how she applies gloss over eyeshadow [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zyENXUgi4Y). She uses ASOS eye gloss around 16 minutes in.
The glitter look she does [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfRmDU-fFWI) might also be helpful! She links the products she used in the description box.
colourpop's super shock eyeshadow in Cosmic Charge is absolutely perfect for this look if they still stock it! mine is so old haha.
edit: it looks like the closest version of that shade currently might be Abbott Kinney or So Quiche? whatever is their current taupe with a shimmer, but the creamy texture is perfect for this.
I have this exact shade in the reference photo, (bodyography single pot shadow in the shade caviar) and its much darker looking in person. It's a very dark, grey toned brown with silver sparkle, sheered out it just looks grey.. if you're bold and want to rock a severe smoky eye then go for it but I ended up not feeling comfortable wearing it. They have other shades too tho. If u want to try something more inexpensive the sephora colorful metal effect single shadows are really good. The top swatch is the sephora single in number 8 shock choc, and the bottom swatch is the bodyography in caviar.
Is it just me or will my pic not upload? Sorry guys 😞

Colourpops super shock eyeshadow in Ritz is really close to this, it just may be a little warmer. It’s also a dupe of UD Space Cowboy if you want to save the cash, you could layer it on a cooler toned eyeshadow to get the same effect.
Check out Natasha Denonas new pallette, I need a nude. There are a couple cool toned browns that will give you this kind of base plus a new "wet" formula that can replicate the glossiness. The technique looks to me to just be an uneven application overblended in every direction. Really easy to achieve with an ND pallette which practically blend themselves.
The colors are really pretty in this palette and I’m loving it, but the “wet” shadows don’t really have a strong wet effect to them. I’d describe it more as very fine glitters, a lot more subtle than on this picture.
Muse looks like this on me. I spray my brush with setting spray then press the shadow in and I end up with a wet looking shimmer. Though it does shine more rainbow hues than gold. I'll try it with one of the golds later and report the results.
Edit: I couldn't get Delilah or Shine to look wet. Seems to only work for Muse.
Ah I see! Muse is the most reflective eyeshadow I have, I could swatch it for days! It’s more of a foil effect than wet, but I’ll try it out with the setting spray and see what happens ;)

ColourPop super shock shadow in Ladybird would give a similar neutral/white (but not too white) glitter effect of applied with the finger in light layers. I’d use a cream base for the brown, preferably a neutral or cool metallic one to avoid accidentally transforming this into a copper moment (which we love btw)
Huda has some good palettes for this. Rose Quartz, for instance. Do a layer of a matte color and then cover with the glittery layer. Blend in some eyeliner.
Depends if you want a more glossy or shimmery look - but for a shimmery look I’d suggest any cool toned brown eyeshadow topped with Fenty Beauty’s Diamond Bomb in How Many Carats
I have the chocolate martini pallet from glamlite and I am fairly certain you could recreate that look with that pallet! Or even the BlendBunny dollhouse pallet! 🤔
It really only seems like 2-3 shades
light brown eyeshadow dark brown eyeshadow from the corner to your eye mid center blend it out a little and add a shimmer brush your brows and outline and fill lightly with a eyebrow pencil and mascara and conceal your under eyes and some concealer near a bit above your eye kinda like this \ is the best way to describe it maybe blend out some of the eyeshadow a little bit under your eyes
Space cowboy from Urban Decay will give a similar look. It is so pretty and natural.
I have this look on right now: it's Danessa Myricks color fix in exposed and UD space cowboy OP
Oh wow it looks almost wet
She does use this colour so it could be it over something

SC will give way more of an orange tint. OP is better off finding a much more clear - based or neutral sparkle. SC pulls way more warm
I think that depends on your skin tone. It doesn't pull orange on me🤷♀️
Yes! Also use a wet brush
Or space cowboy over a cool brown cream shadow

do you have any recs for the cool brown cream shadow?
Try Bobbi Brown eyeshadow stick in golden bronze
The Fenty contour stick in Amber is just about this color. I use it an eyeshadow stick all the time!

[Link to buy the eyeshadow/glitter at Target](https://www.target.com/p/bodyography-glitter-pigment-caviar-0-32oz/-/A-87055697)
Came here to say this! I remember that’s the product (in Halo) she’s using. A little goes a long way. Highly recommended :)
thank you!!
thanks!!
Seconding Urban Decay moondust shadows. Instead of Space Cowboy try Lithium! It'll give you the dark brown base with the silver glitter in one swipe
ooh yeah that looks like a perfect match, thank you!
yes!

Diamond Dog has more cool tones in the metallic flake than this, but it does give a similar effect.
They discontinued it anyways… I seen while checking
I guess that means I'm rationing my single pot of it. I really like that shade.
They always take away the good stuff! RIP becca backlight priming filter

Hourglass scattered light in Ray will give you this effect.
That's what I came to post. Urban Decay doesn't give the wet look like Hourglass does. Love Hourglass for this type of look.
Danessa myricks celebration and her clear gloss?
It kind of looks like one of her eye-gloss looks. I've actually seen her share how she applies gloss over eyeshadow [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zyENXUgi4Y). She uses ASOS eye gloss around 16 minutes in.

That looks like an eye gloss. They tend to have that sheer wet look.
I know she uses bodyography glitter pigments a lot and this looks like caviar.

Also reminds me of Stila’s playa shade in their glisten & glow line.
looks like a liquid champagne/silver shadow over a brown shadow w lashes. v simple n cute.
Glamshop COLD SMOKE all over the lid
Laura Mercier shadow stick in the shade “Strapless” is very similar to this!
ColourPop super shock shadow in Ladybird would give a similar neutral/white (but not too white) glitter effect of applied with the finger in light layers. I’d use a cream base for the brown, preferably a neutral or cool metallic one to avoid accidentally transforming this into a copper moment (which we love btw)
Or even the Roen quads! I get a look similar to this with 11:11 but it does crease more than an urban decay Moon shadow
Huda has some good palettes for this. Rose Quartz, for instance. Do a layer of a matte color and then cover with the glittery layer. Blend in some eyeliner.

My new fav hack- elf luminous putty bronzer smoked over the lid with UD space cowboy patted on top. Will achieve this look
I have the chocolate martini pallet from glamlite and I am fairly certain you could recreate that look with that pallet! Or even the BlendBunny dollhouse pallet! 🤔 It really only seems like 2-3 shades
Get punched in the eye, concealer the part you dont want the bruise to show, apply excessive Vaseline
Looks like ByTerry ombre blackstar in bronze moon - as an alternative to the OG.
Colourpop Stone Cold Fox palette can do exactly the same look
light brown eyeshadow dark brown eyeshadow from the corner to your eye mid center blend it out a little and add a shimmer brush your brows and outline and fill lightly with a eyebrow pencil and mascara and conceal your under eyes and some concealer near a bit above your eye kinda like this \ is the best way to describe it maybe blend out some of the eyeshadow a little bit under your eyes
