The Moon Festival Glitter Eye Design

Glitter Tutorial: How to do a Moon Festival Glitter Eye Design - our most popular glitter look!

Materials Needed:

• Aloe vera gel
• Luminosity Glitter - Glitter blend
• Small makeup brush (preferably angled or flat brush)
• Makeup remover or micellar water

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

Cleanse and Moisturise:

• Start with a clean, moisturised face. This helps the glitter adhere better and ensures a smooth application.

Step 2: Outline the Crescent Moon Shape

Determine the Shape:

• Decide on the size and placement of your glitter crescent moon. Typically, it starts above the eyebrow and curves round the eye, finishing below the middle of your bottom eyelid.

Step 3: Apply Aloe Vera Gel

Prepare the Gel:

• Squeeze a small amount of aloe vera gel onto the back of your hand or a clean palette.

Create an Outline:

• Using your brush and a small amount of aloe vera gel gently mark the outline of the crescent moon around your eye. This will serve as a guide for where to apply the glitter.

Apply the Gel:

• Using your small makeup brush, dip it into the aloe vera gel and carefully apply a thin layer along the outline of your crescent moon. Work in small sections to prevent the gel from drying out before you apply the glitter.
  

Step 4: Apply the Glitter

Pick Up the Glitter:

• Dip the same brush into the Luminosity Glitter blend. You can also use a different brush specifically for glitter if you prefer.

Apply the Glitter:

• Gently press the glitter onto the aloe vera gel-covered area. Tap off any excess glitter before applying to minimise fallout. Continue to apply until the entire outlined area is filled with glitter.

Build Up Layers:

• You can go in with a fine glitter to add a little extra sparkle and really make your look pop! Remember you can always add more aloe vera gel so it's best to start with a tiny amount instead of risking your glitter sliding all over the face.

Step 5: Clean Up

Remove Excess Glitter:

• Use a flat end or angled makeup brush to clean up any glitter that has strayed outside the crescent shape. You may want to dip it in the aloe vera gel to give the glitter something to stick to on the brush.

Perfect the Shape:

• Refine the edges of the crescent moon with the brush to ensure a sharp and defined shape.

Step 7: Final Touches

Check for Evenness:

• Ensure that the glitter is evenly applied and that there are no sparse areas. Add more glitter if necessary.
  

Tips for Success:

• Work Slowly: Take your time to apply the glitter carefully. Rushing can lead to uneven application and more fallout.

• Experiment with Colours: Mix different colours of glitter for a unique, multidimensional effect.

• Seal the Edges: Use a small amount of aloe vera gel on the edges of the crescent to help seal the glitter in place.

Now you're ready to shine with your beautiful glitter crescent moon! Enjoy your dazzling look and the compliments that are sure to come your way.
