Quick & Easy Steps on How to Achieve the Look
Step 1: Prep Your Eyes
Before everything else, you have to prime your lids for two main reasons: (1) for the colors to fully show and (2) for them to last long. This will ensure that your eye makeup stays in place all day. This will also help prevent any creasing or smudging, as well as glitter fallout.
Step 2: Apply Your Base
Now let’s move on to the base eyeshadow. This is where your matte eyeshadow comes in. Choose a shade that’s almost similar to your skin tone and apply it all over your eyelids, from your lash line to your brow bone. This will help even out your skin tone and create a smooth canvas for your glitter eyeshadow.
Step 3: Add some Depth
You wouldn’t want your eyes to look so flat! This is where you take that darker shade and apply it to your crease to deepen the look. This adds definition to your eyes that will also help your glitter to stand out. You can also use some of your shimmer or metallic eyeshadows to create a gradient effect that will make the transition of your colors more seamless.
Step 4: Bedazzle with some Glitter!
Now it’s time for the fun part – adding glitter to your eyes! I recommend using an adhesive specifically designed for glitter application. But then, your trusty lash adhesive should work too, as long as it dries up clear.
Dab some only on the specific spot where you want your glitter and wait for a few seconds until the glue gets tacky. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply the glitter to your eyelids, starting from the inner corner and working your way outwards.
Step 5: Blending is key
To create a seamless transition between your glitter and base eyeshadows, use a clean blending brush to blend the edges of your eyeshadows. This will create a soft, gradient effect and prevent any harsh lines.
Step 6: Highlight Your Brow Bone
To add some extra dimension to your look, use a shimmery highlighter to highlight your brow bone. This will create a subtle yet impactful highlight that will make your eyes pop.
Step 7: Add Some Mascara
What even is a glitter eye makeup tutorial without mascara? Let your lashes do the talking by nicely coating them with a volume mascara. This will help to define and lengthen your lashes, making them appear fuller and more voluminous.
Quick Tips & Tricks
- Use a wet flat brush when you’re working with chunky glitters. This will help the glitters to hold onto the applicator perfectly.
- Dab, don’t swipe! The key to seamlessly applying eye glitter makeup is to just gently press the brush on the lids. This will allow you to work on the full pigment and avoid fallouts.
- Use tape to catch glitter fallouts. If you’d like a neat line, you can apply tape on your eyelid’s outer V to allow the glitter pigment to run smoothly along the line tape.
