How to Apply Glitter on your Eyes - Glitter Eyeshadow
Glittery eyes are a fun way to add sparkle and shine to your makeup look, whether for a night out or a special event. If you're looking to create a dazzling, subtle shimmer with fine glitter, here's a simple guide to help you apply it like a pro.
What You’ll Need:
- Fine glitter (make sure it’s cosmetic grade or eco glitter which is super soft!)
- Glitter primer suitable for use on/around your eyes
- Small flat brush or fingertip
- Makeup remover wipes
Steps:
-
Prep Your Lids
Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This ensures that the glitter stays put and doesn’t crease throughout the day. Allow the primer to set for a minute. -
Choose Your Glitter
Pick a fine glitter that’s specifically designed for use around the eyes. The finer the glitter, the more comfortable it will feel and the less likely it will irritate the skin and eyes. -
Apply a Base Layer
To enhance the glitter, apply a subtle eyeshadow as a base. This helps the glitter pop and creates a smooth canvas for the glitter to adhere to. -
Use a Glitter Primer or Glue
For maximum hold, dab a small amount of glitter primer onto the eyelids. Use your fingertip or a small flat brush to spread it evenly over your eyelid. -
Pat on the Glitter
Dip a clean brush or your fingertip into the fine glitter. Gently pat the glitter onto your eyelid, focusing on the area where you want the most sparkle. Avoid rubbing, as that can disturb the glue or primer. -
Blend for a Soft Finish
Once the glitter is in place, gently blend the edges with a soft brush to avoid harsh lines. This step gives a more natural, seamless look. -
Set with a Setting Spray
Finish by spritzing a setting spray over your face to ensure your glitter stays in place all day or night. This helps lock in the glitter without smudging.
Tips:
- Keep your eyes closed for a few minutes to let the glitter settle and dry.
- Be mindful of not applying too much glitter at once – build up the layers gradually for a controlled look.
- To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover to ensure the glitter comes off without irritation.
With these simple steps, you can add the perfect amount of sparkle to your eyes using fine glitter for a glamorous and eye-catching effect. Happy glittering! ✨
