Time To Shine Cover FX Shimmer Veil

Last month, 2018 rolled in, and with it, so did iridescence, shine and lots of glitter! Therefore, 2018 is our year to embrace the fun of glitter and bring it back into our lives!  Big brand products, and the spring runway shows have steered us to the new 2018 glitter trend (although it never really went away!) Queen of all things cool and trendy  Pat MCGrath, has incorporated glitter in her Mothership Palettes I, II, III, and  IV. Moreover,  Natasha Denona recently released her glitter and high shine Diamonds and Blush palettes, and the chroma crystal top coats for eyes. Third, Stila has glittered their glitter and glow magnificant metallic eyeshadows.  Now, Cover FX has launched their new Cover FX Shimmer Veil at Sephora, for $28.

Moreover, the flocked doe foot applicator has a pointed tip for a more precise application.  For example, use the pointed tip when using the multi-use cream on the inner corners of your eyes.

However, to apply to cheeks or eyelids, use the length of the applicator to swipe on the veil.

Cover FX Shimmer Veil Formula

The Cover FX Shimmer Veil is a versatile, multi-use formula.  First, the formula has a creamy, weightless texture. As a result, it goes on sheer.

Therefore, if you want a more opaque look, you can add another layer. Besides, a little product goes a long way, therefore, the thicker the layer, the more difficult it is to blend.

Nevertheless, it is an easy formula to apply because it glides onto the skin. In addition, it is a bright, pigmented formula that is long-lasting.  Moreover, the formula doesn’t crease and is transfer-proof!

Moreover, to use the Veil to highlight your cheeks, make sure to apply the Veil onto the flattest part of the cheekbone.  As a result, the light, or a camera will catch even more glimmer.

To apply on your eyes. swipe the Veil onto your lash line.  Then, using your fingers, spread the cream up to the crease of your eye.

Furthermore, if you want to create a beautiful blush look, create dimension by blending the Veil from the top of your cheekbone with your blush.cover-fx-shimmer-veil-packaging-celestial-2

In addition, use the Shimmer Veil to highlight the inner corners of your eyes, and your brow bone.

Also, use the Shimmer Veil under your foundation to illuminate your face.

Last, try putting the Veil on your bare lips, and then put lip gloss over it!  Or, put lipstick on first, and put the Shimmer Veil over it.

Sum

I’m in love with Cover FX Shimmer Veil.  It reminds me of the shimmer and glow from the Stila Glitter and Glow Metallic eye shadows.  Except, the Shimmer Veil is more metallic than the Stila Glitter and Glow Metallic shadows.  I also love the versatility of the Shimmer Veil, which can do just about anything , and go just about anywhere you want to sparkle and shine!  The shades are stunning.  I love the ethereal look you can achieve with the Shimmer Veil.

Have you tried the Cover FX Shimer Veil?  Do you love it as much as I do?  How do you feel about the shimmer, glitter , glow and shine trend for 2018?  Leave your comments in the comment section below!
