Does this eyeshadow even exist?

I'm gonna be pretty specific here, bc I'm willing to pay any amount of money for something like this just because I'm sick of searching for this for so long.

I'm looking for a pressed eyeshadow. One that's VERY sheer in color, but distributes heavy amount of finely milled glitter. Preferably one with a warm/gold undertone.

I know that is a little vague, so here's an example.

In this SHAYTARDS video at the --16:00-- mark, Katilette is wearing a natural looking eyeshadow & when light hits it, you see lots & lots of finely milled glitter. THAT look (not the color) is what I've been searching for. I neeed help.

I want something I can dust over a color & create a very glittery look. I know this is a stretch, but I have hope one of you ladies can help me! haha
If it helps, a lot of people call these type of shadows 'glitter bombs' & not in a good way! But I'm willing to make it work. haha

THANKS!!

Not sure if this is what your looking for but I came across swatches of the Urban Decay eyeshadow in El Dorado which, according to Christine from Temptalia.com, isn't pigmented and just shows up as glitter. It's a sheer glittery gold colour, here's the post http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-eldorado-eyeshadow
Maybe this could work? Maybe it's not glittery enough but this was what came to mind.
Good luck in your search! x

Haha, I'm laughing at the fact that I've been looking for - to be blunt - a CRAPPY eyeshadow. No pigmentation, just glitter. XD I'm definitely going to look for this next time I'm in Sephora - Writing this in my handy notebook now. :)

@Andrea G. - try Coastal Scents glitters. You can get samples for $1 to $1.50 and the shipping is pretty cheap if you use USPS.

Haha it's funny how when you want a good eyeshadow, all you find are crappy ones and when you want a crappy one, they disappear of the earth! Try some of the other Urban Decay ones too, I think Midnight Cowboy Rides Again is a glittery one too x

Check out Make Up For Ever's Diamond Powders and Star Powders next time you're at Sephora. They're both very fine, glittery, Diamond Powders are sheer and some Star Powders can be very sheer.

I have midnight cowboy rides again and it's just a shimmer/chunky glitter. MUFE's Diamond Powder in #91001 looks alot like what your saying but It's not colored in any way. just a whole lot of glitter. It would be awesome to put over a gold or neutral eyeshadow. =) There's also a collection out by MUFE that is Star Powder Diamond collection (not sure if it's the same as the Diamond Powder) but they look really nice.

Overall, Definitely check out MUFE because they probably have even more products that are similar to what your looking for. Hope this helps =)

I also think you should check out some of OCC's loose colours! The color "clove" is really sheer but has a lot of glitter! Just go through all those colors and I'm sure you'll find something you like. When applied dry, they go on relatively sheer (well at least the lighter colors do), and have a lot of shimmer! Hope that helps! :)

I just remembered! NYX have a glitter cream palette or something which has 5 colours, like pressed shadows, but plain glitter that are made to be pressed over eyeshadow! I saw them at IMATS and i've seen a few videos where people feature them, I definately think you should check them out.

Tamsin H. - Actually, I think Midnight Rides Again is PERFECT. Everybody is talking about how it has NO color pay off & it distributes nothing but glitter. lol
Even one of the reviews says 'Don't recommend unless you want pure glitter.' PERFECT. XD

Thanks everybody, I'm gonna check out those MUFE Diamond Powders, they appeal to me in general & actually look VERY finely milled. THANKS!
