With Christmas and New Year's Eve right around the
corner I wanted to share a few suggestions for one of my all time favorite
products: GLITTER. Glitter is a great, easy way to add a bit of
sparkle and fun to your holiday look.

Product Suggestions
Steals:
Glitter:
Graftobian glitter - $3.99 for 1/8 oz. (Midwest Makeup Supply). This comes in a variety of colors; "Fuschia" is one of
my favorites.
Adhesive:
LA Splash splash proof sealer base - $6.99 (Ulta).
It's colorless and comes in a tube with a sponge tip applicator for easy
application.
Worth the splurge:
Glitter:
Lit glitter - $13 (Midwest Makeup
Supply). I absolutely love the color "Beach Baby" for a fun twist on a natural
look.
Make Up Forever star powder - $20 for 0.09 oz. (Sephora). This product is more of a high shimmer. "Black Gold" looks gorgeous
with dark smokey eyes.
Adhesive:
Lit clearly liquid glitter base - $23 for 30 ml (Midwest
Makeup Supply). It's clear and comes in a square bottle to dip your brush into.
*All products have been approved for the
use around eyes*
Application: Yes, glitter
tends to be a bit messy to apply but I've found this method of application to
be least messy. When using glitter on your eyes make sure to do your eye
makeup first before foundation. Tap out a small amount of glitter on a
tissue, this will make clean-up easier since you can just throw it away after
use. Apply a glitter adhesive to the desired area. Glitter adhesive can
also be used as a mixing medium to create glitter eyeliner. Use a dense shadow brush
and dab it into the glitter. Then use a gentle patting motion to pack
the product onto the adhesive. Do not use a sweeping motion because it will
create a large mess, since the product won't stick to the adhesive as
well. Use a large, fluffy powder brush to sweep away any excess glitter that falls out
underneath your eyes, and then follow up with your regular foundation and concealer routine.
You can also incorporate rhinestones from a craft
store for more creative looks. Use eyelash glue to adhere the
rhinestones. I wouldn't recommend putting the rhinestones on your eyelids.
These are meant to be used on skin and body (i.e. cheeks and outer corner of
eye).
Removal: The best way to remove eye glitter is to soak the glitter with a bit of warm water followed
up with an eye makeup remover (such as Bobbi Brown long wear eye makeup remover, $24)
or a gentle facial cleanser for your particular skin type if used on
skin. Rinse until all of the glitter, adhesive, and residue is gone.
