Glitter is having a moment in the beauty world, and it's no surprise why! Adding a touch of sparkle to your eye makeup is the ultimate way to elevate your look and make your eyes pop. Whether you're going for a soft shimmer or bold, glittering glam, the Glitter Dust collection from Bonjour Babe Beauty has everything you need to create dazzling eye makeup looks. With shades like Amethyst, 24K Gold, and Aquamarine, you can easily create eye-catching styles for every occasion. Here’s your ultimate guide to using glitter dust for stunning eye makeup looks.
1. Prime Your Eyes for Glitter Perfection
Before applying any glitter, it’s essential to start with a smooth, crease-free base. Use an eye primer or a concealer to prep your eyelids. This helps the glitter adhere better and ensures that your eye makeup stays intact all day or night. Once you've applied your primer, set it with a neutral eyeshadow or a translucent setting powder to keep everything in place.
2. Apply a Base Color to Enhance Your Glitter
For a more dramatic look, start by applying a base color to your eyelids. Choose a matte or shimmer shadow in a shade that complements your chosen glitter. For example, you can pair 24K Gold Sparkle Glitter Dust with a soft bronze eyeshadow or Amethyst Glitter Dust with a deep plum base to make the glitter pop.
3. How to Apply Glitter Dust for Maximum Impact
Now, the fun part – glitter application! There are a few different methods for applying Glitter Dust to your eyes, depending on the intensity you want:
-
For a Light Dusting: Use your finger or a fluffy eyeshadow brush to pick up a small amount of glitter and press it gently onto the center of your eyelid. This will give you a subtle, sparkly effect that’s perfect for daytime or a soft glam look.
-
For Full-On Glitter Glam: For maximum sparkle, use a flat, dense brush to apply the glitter directly onto your eyelids. Dampen your brush slightly with setting spray or water to make the glitter adhere more intensely. Apply it all over the eyelid, focusing on the center and blending outward.
-
For a Glitter Cut Crease: To make a statement, apply your glitter in a sharp cut crease style. Use a fine-tipped brush to outline your crease with glitter for a defined, bold look. This works beautifully with shades like Aquamarine or Silver, as the light-reflecting particles will create a striking contrast against a darker crease color.
4. Highlight Your Inner Corners with a Pop of Glitter
For an added touch of radiance, highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a small amount of glitter. Use a small, detailed brush to apply Amethyst or Silver glitter in the inner corners for a brightening effect that makes your eyes appear larger and more awake. This simple step adds a dazzling pop of shine without overwhelming your overall look.
5. Add Glitter to Your Lower Lash Line
Don’t forget the lower lash line! Adding a small amount of glitter along your lower lashes can enhance your eye makeup and make your eyes appear more defined. Use a fine-tipped brush to apply 24K Gold Sparkle Glitter Dust or Amethyst glitter directly beneath your lower lashes for a subtle but glamorous effect.
6. Seal the Deal with a Setting Spray
Once your glitter makeup is in place, set everything with a makeup setting spray. This helps lock your glittery masterpiece in place and ensures that it won’t budge throughout the day or night. Use a dewy or matte setting spray, depending on your desired finish.
7. Bonus Tip: Glitter as Eyeliner
For a unique twist, try using Glitter Dust as an eyeliner! Dip a thin eyeliner brush into the glitter and wet it with a little setting spray or water. Trace your lash line with the glitter for a fun, sparkling eyeliner look. This is perfect for special events or a bold night out!
