Neutralize your complexion</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">To pull off a good glittery shadow you really need to have a good, smooth foundation, evening out your complexion. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKL1Qja9wKfFjIjhEN_XpPw2lFMmqWoptL_5MTCzQIpeZdzhozFxMoXh820RtOUVvJV-T6iuVYeOzjfOhlAZhInsvOCK9o0e5slRsi7kCRHoAFx71WvUXYfWqWdoRrmtMqIMkvu7-Mxtg/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKL1Qja9wKfFjIjhEN_XpPw2lFMmqWoptL_5MTCzQIpeZdzhozFxMoXh820RtOUVvJV-T6iuVYeOzjfOhlAZhInsvOCK9o0e5slRsi7kCRHoAFx71WvUXYfWqWdoRrmtMqIMkvu7-Mxtg/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+4.png" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Keep The Shine Only To Your Eyes.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Its easy to make the whole face look too shiny when you have a high shine eye. Tone the cheek down a little, and don't add sparkle anywhere else. Sparkly or shimmery highlight paired with a glittery shadow will detract from the effect of the eye shadow and can end up making the face look oily.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3.</b> <b>Soften The Lip</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">If you are making a shimmery eye the focus of your look, help it out by toning down the lip. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Most people can't carry off a big eye and a big lip at the same time. Go for something a little more neutral, and keep it either matte or just a low sheen. A big glossy lip with a glittery eye makes the face look too shiny and too busy.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZmy4rtXO13H90Pl2pjbhCG-iWXBjHjrEKewIsFRPpLMSEcMb1QixJ6K08c46jZR1ak8jR4iEZP0ecz17rGSqGWl78wgvMGQcG8TD0uibjk6Dxw_uaJHp2OeaYRxQooRoh5kl6dhhSk/s1600/glitter+shadow+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZmy4rtXO13H90Pl2pjbhCG-iWXBjHjrEKewIsFRPpLMSEcMb1QixJ6K08c46jZR1ak8jR4iEZP0ecz17rGSqGWl78wgvMGQcG8TD0uibjk6Dxw_uaJHp2OeaYRxQooRoh5kl6dhhSk/s1600/glitter+shadow+1.png" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Use Your Glitter Shadow As An Accent</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Dont try to build your entire eye with a glitter shadow. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Build the shape and drama of the eye in neutral creamy finished eye shadows (glitter adheres better to a cream base), and then bring in your shimmery/glittery product as the final event.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Bare lids won't hold sparkles.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKIcO17tWdBNXKywAepDjpIRsVruRiMtIvs1s2-wsgoJpaxdiqfGyOsOguN99btP9Crx7-sEZa3FV9T9ogWhyiU27pm7ej9QrD86hqRGnxivhNzgHhBI7pbWA4tXIsfhfMLlLhtbwdEQ/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKIcO17tWdBNXKywAepDjpIRsVruRiMtIvs1s2-wsgoJpaxdiqfGyOsOguN99btP9Crx7-sEZa3FV9T9ogWhyiU27pm7ej9QrD86hqRGnxivhNzgHhBI7pbWA4tXIsfhfMLlLhtbwdEQ/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+3.jpg" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" width="640" /></a></div><b><br /></b><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5.

From Thai Sweet Chili Sauce to coconut milk, from cans of diced tomatoes to jars of roasted red peppers, from boxes of couscous to bags of jasmine rice, I like to have game changers on hand. This makes it easier to shop for an organized dinner party, but also bails me out when guests arrive unexpectedly, or when a fun afternoon evolves into a dinner.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>* Stock up a hostess closet.</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Having table linens, cocktail napkins, candles and place settings within easy reach makes entertaining much more simple.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I pick up cocktail napkins and candles throughout the year as I find them, and I love to find beautiful table linens both locally and on my travels.

A dinner party is more about the personalities around the table than it is about the food. No matter how brilliant the food is, if you're stuck sitting next to some total tool you won't enjoy yourself.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Try to put together a good blend of people who will enjoy each other, inspire and entertain each other. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>2. The Menu</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><i>*When less is more</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Make fewer food choices ~ less fuss = less stress.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Have something you can throw in the oven, have a few things you can pick up ready made, and have something you are really good at making.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I find the very best, most successful dinner parties are the ones where the food is simple, the wine is abundant, the setting is lovely, and the company is well paired.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>* When more is more</i></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiyvkpgTyfbZOi1BHp1sABFbofJGi5D07BvvXQ32OqwGMrtQXdZ0kUKPw_j_uMop9jqKsRQQ2RnkElTvDh29E_OCCJjU-aS9L9HGeNh4KFGvPV3Zqy9Drt-OrUE-qcArXUK8iodogatJg/s1600/wine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Tips-For-A-Stress-Free-Dinner-Party-03" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiyvkpgTyfbZOi1BHp1sABFbofJGi5D07BvvXQ32OqwGMrtQXdZ0kUKPw_j_uMop9jqKsRQQ2RnkElTvDh29E_OCCJjU-aS9L9HGeNh4KFGvPV3Zqy9Drt-OrUE-qcArXUK8iodogatJg/s1600/wine.jpg" title="Tips-For-A-Stress-Free-Dinner-Party-03" width="266" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">As in more wine. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I like to have several choices of wine available. I hate it when the only white is chardonnay (I'm a sauvignon blanc/sancerre girl), or the only red is heavy and dense. Having a variety of wines available makes it festive and fun. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">(And if the food isn't working out you can always get everyone drunk!)</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><i>*Stay out of the kitchen</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">As in create a menu that doesn't have you slaving over a hot stove.
