5 Ways to use glitter in your everyday makeup

June 17, 2023


Glitter makeup has always been associated with the night, this is because the shine, which is its strong feature, stands out a lot at parties and night events, giving makeup a glamorous, little by little this has changed and glitter is appearing more frequently in everyday makeup, but do you still have doubts about how to use glitter in the morning and without looking like you are going to a party? So, check out the tips below and learn how to insert this item into your beauty routine.

Choosing the texture of the product

The beauty industry is gigantic and regardless of the product you are going to use, you can find a wide variety with different colors and textures, some are easy to apply, others require a little more dedication to apply. Identify which texture is best for your skin.

Gel glitter: to apply glitter in this format you need a brush or you can apply it with your fingers, it sets easier on the skin, but has a slightly sticky texture.

Glitter powder: you need to be very careful with this type of glitter, because it can easily fall on other regions of the face, before using it, apply a fixative or glitter glue on your skin so that it lasts longer, and with the help of a brush, apply the glitter, the advantage of using the brush is that you can vary and use a small amount just to give a touch of light or use a large amount.

Remembering that you can find these textures in shadows, illuminator, blush and even lipstick.

How to use glitter in everyday makeup

Eyes

The eyes are a striking region and depending on the makeup you do, it will stand out too much, there are four different ways to use glitter in the eyes.

Eyelids: during the night you can use the glitter eyeshadow all over the eyelid, as for day makeup, the glitter must be used subtly, choose a focal point for the glitter to be located (it can be in the center of the eyelid or in the innermost region to brighten up the look) and combine with other eyeshadows in neutral colors, if you carry a little makeup on your eyes, use something basic on your lips.

Glitter below the lower lashes: for those who are looking for something discreet but don't dispense with glitter, the suggestion is to use glitter below the lower lashes, it is a delicate and different option, it can be used with a darker makeup or the eyelid can be left without anything.

Glitter eyeliner: if you want to use an eyeliner different from the traditional black color, you can bet on the glitter eyeliner (it can be any color), you can use it alone or do a double eyeliner.

  • How to make eyeliner with glitter: you can find eyeliner in different formats, pen or gel that are easier to apply, but if you can't find it, you can use a glitter powder and a beveled brush to make the eyeliner, apply the fixer of shadows before making the stroke.
Glitter on the lips

Matte lipstick already has a guaranteed space in our makeup bag, but if you want to escape this type of lipstick a bit, you can use a gloss, and again what counts is the idea of subtlety, you can't use a shade of red full of glitter during the day, the ideal are nude tones and light pink, if you want something more discreet you can use the colorless glitter gloss alone (which stands out more and makes the lips more voluminous) or use it over lipstick in another color (which enhances the color and makes it even more vivid).

Glitter on face

If you want a natural glow on your skin, you can use an illuminator, this product has been part of the makeup routine for a while, in its composition it contains glitter particles that leave the skin with a natural glow, without exaggeration.



Perfect highlighter for every skin tone

Light skin - champagne, pearly and peach shades are best suited to brighten this skin tone.

Dark skin - gold undertone highlighters enhance dark skin tone, you can also mix gold highlighters with medium pink or peach tones to balance the makeup.

Black skin - the dark gold highlighter is best for this skin, women who have dark skin should avoid highlighters with a gray background because it doesn't stand out.

How to use highlighter: apply highlighter to the central line of the nose, chin, cheekbones and cupid's bow, but be careful when applying, use a fan brush to apply the right amount and in the right places.

How to remove glitter makeup from face?

If there is something that sticks to the skin and takes work to remove it is the glitter, you can even remove it but there will always be a small particle left on your skin, there are some ways to completely remove the glitter, which are:

Make-up remover: the make-up remover has the action of completely removing the make-up from the face, if it is biphasic it is even greater because the oil helps to remove the glitter, moisten a piece of cotton and apply it on the skin.

Duct tape: wrap a sticky tape around your finger and apply it to the areas that have glitter, it will stick to the tape.

Coconut oil: this oil is a natural option to replace makeup remover, it is possible to eliminate glitter from the face without creating friction, but if your skin is oily, avoid using the oil to remove glitter.

Whichever way you choose to remove the glitter, then do a thorough cleaning with soap and cold water, then apply a moisturizing cream.

Glitter makes any makeup much more radiant, brighter, it's a great option to give a variety of traditional makeup and get brighter, but pay attention to the way you're going to use the glitter and value the subtlety so as not to look too exaggerated.
