Shine bright: how to create makeup with glitter

Sparkling glitter also burst into the number of bright makeup trends for spring and summer 2019. Next season, you should forget about large sparkles and rhinestones, and give preference to the metallic effect. To create it, a fine shimmer is suitable - and the illusion of foil-covered lips, eyes or skin is ready. Let's take an example from the makeup artists at the Jeremy Scott and Kate Spade SS 19 shows - they created spectacular beauty images using glitter and metallic textures of cosmetic products.

What makeup can look like with glitter?

Glitter can be used in different ways and applied to different areas of the face: lips, upper eyelids, eyebrows, brow area, cheekbones or eyelashes. Of course, no one forbids you to use your imagination and use glitter in your hair, in the décolleté area or on your hands. Such images will be especially in demand at photo shoots, music festivals and theme parties. In this case, glitter can be used independently and applied directly to transparent glue or base, or placed on top of eye shadow, colored lipstick, eyeliner or blush. It all depends on the desired level of contrast and the image we want to achieve as a result. Choose a shimmer to match your cosmetic products if you want to get a relatively natural look. And if you want to play in contrast, choose opposite bright shades.

How to create makeup with glitter step by step

Lip makeup. There are two ways to keep glitter on your lips. The first is to apply it over lipstick with a glossy or creamy finish. The second is to use a special glitter primer, which provides a more reliable result. It is recommended to apply glitter using a silicone spatula or a damp lip brush using tapping movements. Eye makeup. If you like this 2019 makeup trend, be sure to try to recreate it in your eye makeup. With the help of fine shimmer, you can paint over arrows or imitate shadows, creating truly brilliant beauty images. All you need to do is apply a special primer to the desired area of the face and distribute the glitter along the eyelid. To prolong the effect, use a fixative spray. Face makeup. Delicate fine shimmer looks incredibly beautiful on the highest points of the cheekbones and other parts of the face, so it’s definitely worth experimenting with this makeup option. To start, use a primer and then use your fingers to spread the glitter over the surface of the skin. If there is no need for a long-term effect, you can use transparent lip gloss. To make makeup with glitter look harmonious, it is important to even out the tone of the face, hide all imperfections and correctly place color accents.
