New Year's makeup ideas with glitter - bright, fashionable, stylish! Makeup with glitter: create a spectacular, memorable image How to apply small glitter to your eyes

Glitter adds a touch of charm, sophistication, and sophistication to makeup. Keep in mind that different types of glitter are applied to different parts of the face. So, very small sparkles are usually applied to the cheekbones. Using them you will create a shimmering effect on your skin. The same glitter can be used on the temples and under the eyebrows. If you want to enhance the shimmer effect, add glitter to your eyebrows as well. Avoid applying glitter to your T-zone as it will create an oily effect on your face.

Larger glitter can be used to decorate your eyelids. To ensure that the jewelry stays in place, place it on powder. If you apply a very large amount of glitter, it is better to use a special gel to fix it. Remember that glitter looks best at the outer corner of the eye. Although for a festive carnival you can put glitter on the entire moving eyelid. Apply glitter under your eyebrows and blend them so that they are not too dense. Try to do eye makeup so that no clear boundaries are visible. This is especially true when using glitter with shadows. First, apply shadow on your eyelids, and then apply glitter on them.

Eye makeup will turn out very expressive if you mix glitter of several colors. The shades of sparkles should be in the same color scheme. For example, mix blue and green glitter, pink and purple, and so on. In eye makeup, color combinations such as gold and blue, silver and blue, silver and purple look very beautiful.

To apply glitter, use a special brush. Before dipping your brush into the glitter, wet it a little with water. So, there will be more glitter on the cyst.

Before applying glitter to your lips, first cover them with colorless hygienic lipstick. In this case, the color of the sparkles can be any. If you apply glitter to colored lipstick, the color should be silver or gold. Red and pink glitter will not look too expressive on bright lipstick.

Rules for using glitter

During the daytime, glitter in makeup is not appropriate. May only be in very small quantities. The point of using glitter is to make it sparkle beautifully in the evening light. The effect is simply amazing. Sequins are simply created for noisy parties and carnivals. Use them when you go to a club, bar or disco.

Choose the color of glitter depending on the shade of your eyes and shadows. Before applying glitter, cleanse your face and apply foundation.

When creating evening makeup, use glitter to highlight one thing: eyes, lips or cheekbones. If you apply glitter all over your face, it will look tacky.

To fix the glitter, use a special gel, sold in cosmetics stores. Of course, you can put glitter on Vaseline, very rich cream, or even on chapstick.

Remove glitter with a special gel. You can use olive or vegetable oil for the same purpose. Makeup remover milk will only smear glitter all over your face.

Glitter is back in fashion. However, the main question is how to wear them? The solution is calm styling that will balance out expressive makeup. So, a classic suit, an interesting cut shirt or a laconic dress will turn shining lips and cheekbones into a witty accent. Below are 6 illustrative examples.

Cheekbones

For this makeup we used clear and gold glitter, small and larger. Apply it to the highest points of your cheekbones where you would normally blend highlighter. Pre-distribute the glitter base over the application area so that it sticks to the skin. If you don't have a base on hand, a regular lip balm will do.

Lips

For the winged version, you will need a glitter base or regular lip balm. Don't be shy - choose larger glitter. For this look, we used Inglot eye and body glitter and used a brush to apply it along the edge of the lash line, imitating a wing. There are a lot of options: leave a separate shiny line or complement your black arrows with a line on top. Make a broad stroke, filling the entire space of the upper eyelid, or draw a winged art like this makeup artist Pat McGrath. Glitter on the eyelids looks appropriate and fresh.

Define your brows with Giorgio Armani's Eyes & Brows or YSL's Cuture Brow Mascara. Then apply a glitter base or balm along the lower contour of the eyebrow. Using a damp brush, glue any glitter you like onto the base according to your mood. Of course, you can’t come to the office like that, but you can easily go to the Love Boat at Simachev.

Before applying glitter to your eyelashes, don't forget to coat them with mascara. We used the trusted Le Volume de Chanel for the shoot. After this, apply a glitter base to your eyelashes. To prevent glitter from getting into your eyes, but remaining only on the tips of your eyelashes, use a flat brush Zoeva 322/brow line.

It is important to remember that eye glitter is a very bright element in makeup, so you need to use it carefully so as not to overdo it with shining elements. One catchy accent is enough. Today, various options for shiny eye cosmetics are available on sale: eyeliner, sparkling mascara, shimmers, shadows with different textures. Therefore, if previously makeup with glitter was used exclusively for photo shoots and themed parties, then in the coming season such an accent may well become the main element of the daytime look.

Types of shiny decorative cosmetics

Sometimes even a light sparkling haze on the eyes is enough to give the look depth and three-dimensionality. Glitters are responsible for the shine - these are reflective particles of various sizes and colors. They can be used as part of eye cosmetics, but can also be a separate product. Let's look at the main types of sparkling beauty products.

Pure glitter comes in two types:

• Dry. They need to be applied to some kind of base (base, special adhesives or sprays, balms, etc.);
• Liquid. This is the most convenient form of release to use. It is sold already in combination with a certain base composition and does not require preparation before use. Can be applied directly from the tube.

The latter, in turn, can be divided into several subcategories:

• Glitter with gel structure– a very pliable material, applied with a brush. Suitable for girls who have already mastered the art of applying eyeliner.
• Water based– the most complex sample from the liquid glitter category. A fairly steady hand is required, otherwise, instead of a clear line on the eyelids, you can get a smeared “something” that looks more like a sparkling blot.
• Cream– are conveniently distributed and do not crumble during wear. An indispensable offer that even a beginner can handle.

Advice! Prefer cream or gel glitter eyeshadows if you are new to makeup. This is the easiest to use consistency.

The best beauty products of the last year

The most popular products from beauty brands with glitter, according to girls who have tested the product themselves:

• Liquid glitter shadows from Urban Decay. Very easy to use, easy to apply to the eyelid and hardens quickly. During the process, the socks do not crumble or wrinkle. The brush-shaped applicator allows you to easily handle the material, as well as line your eyes and draw arrows.

• The most delicate monoshadows with a silky structure lie in a thin layer on the eyelids and give intense shine with microscopic shimmer and slightly larger sparkles. Versatile shades like gold and silver can be combined with colored coverage, or worn alone for everyday looks.

• Loose pigment shadows from Inglot. This product is somewhat reminiscent of a fine powder. A wide color palette is available for sale, allowing you to create beautiful gradients. This proposal is not very easy to use; it definitely requires a lot of skill, because the fine powder falls off the brush from the slightest wrong movement.

• . The products of this manufacturer are of high quality. It is most convenient to rub the product onto a special liquid substrate.

• . The composition here contains a rather large shimmer, which is more reminiscent of sparkles. Even one layer gives a unique shine and a rich layer, so it is not necessary to use a base product. It has a light watery structure, dries quickly and does not crumble.

• Gel shine from Wet n Wind. An interesting product with a gel structure. Each subsequent layer is layered on the previous one, the color becomes more intense. The gel recipe includes coconut oil and aloe extract, which gives the skin additional care and nutrition.

• Professional shine from M.A.C. It is designed for wet makeup techniques. Initially, only famous makeup artists used such samples, but now the products have become available to the public on the store’s official website. This is a slightly sticky product with multi-dispersed shimmering shimmer. You can find nice red-cherry and deep black colors.

As you already understand, glitters can be either an independent element in a make-up or an integral part of decorative cosmetics. Choose one or another product, focusing on the result you want to get in the end.

• Glitter should not be applied to an unprepared eyelid. Remember: this kind of shimmer is mostly just decoration, so the main make-up should come first. After shadows and mascara, you can enrich the look with glitter.
• If you use a dry crumbly structure, pre-treat the eyelid with a special fixative. Only after this add glitter to this base. Avoid rubbing, otherwise it will mix with the pigmented base.
• There should be one shining accent in the image; avoid shiny clothes, otherwise you will resemble a Christmas tree.

Advice! Made a mistake? Immediately remove excess with a cotton swab. After just a few minutes, the sparkles placed on the fixing agent will be very difficult to remove.

We have already talked about the importance of the basic tool. But the specific choice of base product depends on how long the makeup should last. If it's not for long, you can squeeze a rich lip balm onto the desired area and put glitter on top of it.

For fine particles, some makeup artists use a makeup fixing spray. You just need to spray it before and after the procedure. If you need a waterproof effect, a liquid fixative called Aqua Seal mixed with glitter. Fixing preparations with a similar spectrum of action can be found from many manufacturers.

Eduardo Ferreira, lead makeup artist at Bobbi Brown, shares his own experience. In his work, he layers shimmering material on long-lasting cream or gel-like shadows with a satin or matte texture. And he does this exclusively with his fingers. The master claims that this way the sparkles do not have time to fall off.

But if you need to fix a rhinestone or a large decorative element, you can use colorless eyelash glue so that there are no marks left on the skin after it dries.

Now let’s look at the step-by-step application technique:

1. if it is more convenient to work with your fingers, lay out sparkling particles with them;
2. if not, take a brush, a very easy-to-use flat brush made of natural bristles;
3. before bringing the material to the eyelid, shake off the excess by tapping the brush on the edge of the jar;
4. then using patting movements, as if driving glitter into the area above the eyes, this helps avoid shedding;
5. just in case, keep a tissue under your eyelid in case there is any excess left.

Advice! If the glitter does spill out, construction tape can come to your aid; it can easily collect all the excess. The regular one works a little worse, after which you will need to apply concealer again. You can also remove excess with a regular brush.

If you don’t want to bother with glitter, but still want to shine, shimmer is perfect. To ensure that the working material does not crumble and the color is bright, moisten the applicator in water or a fixative, and then soak it in a pigmented beauty product. Instead of a brush, you can use your fingers; due to body heat, the pigment becomes incredibly rich.

And a few more tips for using glitter cosmetics:

• The easiest way to start adding shine to your makeup is eyeliner. It can be matched to the shade of your eyes, or you can choose a tone that will emphasize their depth. It is better if the base for such a liner is matte.
• This season's fashion trend is a shiny line under the eyebrows, emphasizing their shape. The remaining parts of the face should be decorated in a discreet, calm and discreet style.
• Another popular trend of the coming year is mono-makeup for the eyes, in which glitter covers the entire eyelid. If you use a special product with a sticky structure as a base, the ideal make-up will last throughout the evening.

Makeup ideas

Radiant make-up is possible not only in evening and festive looks. In everyday makeup, it is quite acceptable to use a shimmering eyeliner to draw thin arrows or a little reflective particles in the outer corner of the eye.

In general, arrows are one of the simplest and most popular elements this year. Buy a liner with reflective particles and draw them along the lash line - nothing new. Just choose a matte base, because the pearl of the base will merge with the sparkle of the eyeliner and the desired result will not be noticeable.

In the coming season, strobing has become relevant - shining in the inner corner of the eyes. This technique allows you to visually enlarge them, make your gaze deeper and more penetrating. In this case, glitter can be selected both to match the color of the substrate and contrasting shades. The main thing is not to overdo it with glitter.

Advice! The only contraindication to strobing is wide-set eyes, because this technique will “spread” them even wider.

Sparkling eyelashes can also be used in makeup. There are many types of mascara with reflective particles available on the market today. This accent looks incredibly attractive and stylish.

As we have repeatedly noted in other articles, the color of decorative cosmetics should appeal to the shade of the eyes and emphasize them.

• Green-eyed beauties can make them more expressive with the help of liners of various emerald undertones. And warm tones will make the look deeper and more penetrating. Remember: the richer the shade of the iris, the more pigmented cosmetics you can choose.
• Cool colors suit gray-eyed girls. Especially the silver varieties, they reveal an alluring look in a different way. You can also take a closer look at the various variations of emerald, sky blue, ash, and purple. But terracotta, brown and orange tones should be avoided, because they make the color of the iris cloudy, which makes the eyes appear tear-stained.
• Brown-eyed fashionistas are the most common. The saturation of their iris varies from light beige to noble chocolate shades. In a make-up for owners of a bewitching brown, the main thing is to create the right edging. Therefore, first we put the eyebrows in complete order, give them the ideal shape, and then we take on the shadows with iridescent pigment and mascara. Brown-eyed beauties are suitable for silver and golden colors, rich green colors and the whole range of purple-pink.

Glitter beauty products seem difficult to use only at first glance. Practice, don’t be afraid to miss at first, get better at it, and follow our recommendations - and every time you will get better and better.
