Creating a glamorous glitter makeup look with sparkle involves a few extra steps to ensure a stunning, eye-catching finish. Here’s how you can do it:
What You’ll Need:
- Glitter eyeshadow or loose glitter in your desired shade
- Eyeshadow primer
- Eyeshadow brushes (at least one flat brush and one fluffy brush)
- Gel-based or glitter adhesive
- Eyeliner (optional)
- Mascara
- Face makeup (foundation, concealer, etc.)
Steps:
- Prepare Your Eyes:
- Start with a clean and moisturized face. Apply your foundation, concealer, and any other face makeup you prefer. Set your face makeup with powder.
- Eyeshadow Primer:
- Apply an eyeshadow primer on your eyelids to create a smooth base for the glitter. This will help the glitter adhere better and prevent creasing.
- Base Eyeshadow (Optional):
- You can apply a neutral eyeshadow shade that complements your glitter color as a base. This adds depth and dimension to your look.
- Apply Glitter Adhesive:
- Using a flat eyeshadow brush or a specific glitter adhesive brush, apply a thin layer of gel-based or glitter adhesive on your eyelids where you want the glitter to go. Make sure to keep your eyes closed while the adhesive sets slightly.
- Apply Glitter:
- While the adhesive is still tacky, use a separate flat eyeshadow brush to gently press the glitter onto your eyelids. You can either use glitter eyeshadow or loose glitter for this step. Start from the inner corner of your eyes and work your way out.
- Blend and Soften Edges:
- To avoid harsh lines, use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to blend and soften the edges of the glitter. This creates a seamless transition between the glitter and your skin.
- Eyeliner (Optional):
- Apply eyeliner along your upper lash line if desired. This can help define your eyes and make the glitter pop even more.
- Mascara:
- Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes to complete your eye makeup.
- Clean Up (Optional):
- Use a clean brush or a cotton swab to clean up any loose glitter or fallout from your cheeks.
- Final Touches:
- Finish the rest of your makeup as desired, including blush, bronzer, and lipstick.
- Setting Spray:
- To lock in your glitter makeup and prevent it from smudging or falling throughout the day, finish with a setting spray.
Remember to be careful when working with loose glitter, as it can get messy. Also, ensure the glitter you use is safe for the eye area to avoid any irritation. This glamorous glitter makeup look is perfect for special occasions, parties, or whenever you want to add some extra sparkle to your makeup.
