Hey There,
I absolutely love finding new make up, and its even better when it lives up to expectations. Glo&Ray have only been around since 2012, and they are a brand I’ve only recently heard about, (All good things may I add). So I was delighted to be sent out some of their make up to try for myself.
Being a little brow obsessed, I like to use brow make up to enhance and lets be honest, tame my brows. At the moment I’m going through that awkward growth stage, where they are starting to form a better shape, but are looking that untamed that I’m struggling not to reach for the tweezers and wax pot. *Glo&Ray’s Silky Eyebrow Pencil in Terra Brown 21 (£5.50) works with my brows just perfectly, the wax formula grips my brows, while the colouring is soft enough that it lifts the shape, covers the strays, and doesn’t make my brows looks like they have been felt tipped on, (We all know someone with these type of brows). A much more natural day time effect.
With metallic shades being on point this Autumn, *Glo&Ray’s Liquid Metals Eyeshadow Palette (£12.50) was just what I was after. My favorite color has to be bottom right, the bronze colour, with a close second favorite being bottom left in gold, although it looks slightly more yellow in some lights. The green is a gorgoeus minty colour, quite subtle on the eyes, (Surprisingly) and it suited my colouring well, in particular my hazel eyes. Unfortunately the white shade wasn’t as good as the other three, or even as pigmented, I found it hard to get a good swatch from it, or even a good application with it. So I used it as a highlighter for my brow arch instead. I found that the rest of the Glo&Ray make up had great wear-ability, lasted all day, (With slight creasing), went on effortlessly and can be easily built up to create either a subtle day time look, or a stronger evening finish.
Personally I like all three on there own, and what better way to finish them off, than with winged eyeliner, (Am I right?), I have created a smokey look with the palette, but find them more effective on their own, or when mixed together to make another shade.
Which color do you like best? Have you tried Glo&Ray yet?
Lots of love,
