  • Makeup brushes
  • Eyeshadow
  • Eyebrow comb
  • Eyelash curler

Applying primer

1. Eyeshadow primer

Start by applying eyeshadow primer. Put it on your eyelids and along your lower lash line, and then blend it in with your fingers.

2. Cream eyeshadow

Next, apply a shimmery cream eyeshadow to your eyelids, which will work as a base to help you powder eyeshadows last longer and be more vibrant.

3. Sparkly eyeshadow

Now, take a sparkly light pink eyeshadow and apply it to your eyelids.

Then, go in with a medium mauve purple and apply it to your crease as a transition color.

Take an even darker plum-purple and just focus it on the outer corner. We’re just building up all of these colors.

4. Eyebrows

Take an eyeshadow shade that matches your coloring (I’m using a reddish-brown color) and use it to fill your eyebrows in.


Then, blend them out with an eyebrow comb and set them back into place.

Applying mascara

5. Mascara

Curl your eyelashes and apply two coats of black mascara.

Applying lip gloss

6. Lip gloss

The final step is to add a touch of lip gloss.

The trick when creating a glittery look like this is not just to use one shade of eyeshadow but use different shades of the same color to really work up the depth and intensity.
