GLINT CONDITION
A metallic finish for your eyelids.
So often, metallic eyeshadow comes off as glitter paint - which is great, if you're rocking a party girl or grunge look. But if you want a true sheen, your options are more limited - and often involve the traditional metallic palette of silver, gold, and black.
Make Up For Ever's done a little experimenting, and come up with a solution: pots of metallic mineral powder that smooth onto skin and create a dramatically smooth, you-could-be-a-statue kind of effect. The colors - golds and greens - highlight everyone's natural eye color without going overboard. And because Make Up For Ever is formulated for cosmetics artists, you can use them alone, or with a thin, wet makeup brush for some serious metallic eyeliner.
Our favorite part? If a little bit of this new powder falls onto your cheekbones, it won't look like glitter - just a little bit of colored highlight on your face.

this looks great! Reminds me of the shimmer pot (not sure what the colour is) i have from the Rodarte for MAC collection...which is now discontinued. The shadow from that collection had the same effect.

Haven't tried this one, but for all the people living in the UK, Barry M has amazing potted metallic powder in TONS of colors. Plus they're only £8 from stores like superdrug!
