7 Essential Tips on How to Apply Eyeshadow Glitter the Classy Way

Tools and materials:

• Glitter sticks
• Glitter liquid liner
• Glitter cream eyeshadow
• Mascara
• Glitter glue
• Small brush

Tip 1 - Glitter sticks help avoid the crazy mess

Glitter sticks are super quick and easy, and they are definitely my go-to when it comes to glittery eye makeup. What tends to work for women with blonde hair and blue eyes is oranges, browns, and golds. This shimmery gold is going to be perfect in bringing out my blue eyes.

Tip 2 - Apply glitter sticks directly to the lid

To put it on, you just need to apply it directly to your lids and smear it with your finger. This look is subtle and pretty for daytime or evening.

Tip 3 - Apply some shimmery liner

My next tip for you is to get yourself a glitter liquid liner. They come with a very thin brush which makes putting the liner on super precise.

You can use it on your lash line or under your lashes. I’m going to apply a little bit of it under, start in the middle, and work my way out in a wing.

Tip 4 - Take it from day to night

Next, I have a glitter cream palette that is perfect for helping you achieve a day-to-night look. You can do your base makeup in the day very light and then at night time, just pop open this palette and apply it to your eye.

Tip 5 - Apply to the outer part of the eye

Here, I’m applying the glitter cream to the outer part of the eye. Top the eye look off with some mascara. This adds some volume.

Tip 6 - Get a daytime look

If you want to wear glitter on your eyes during the day, I would say don’t do top and bottom; go ahead and choose just one. So you can do a pretty lid and put some glitter on the bottom, or leave the bottom bare and slide some glitter on the top.

Tip 7 - Use some actual glitter

If you guys love to play with glitter like I do, the one thing I will suggest is using glitter glue.

To apply this, put a little bit on your hand, take a small concealer brush and dab a little bit onto your eye on the precise area that you want, dip the top of the brush into your glitter and then just apply it to your eye.
