If you’re one of those people who like to embody the Christmas spirit in everything you do between now and December 25th, then this post is for you!
This green glitter eyeliner look is easy enough to where you won’t be spending an hour on your makeup, but it also stands out on it’s own and definitely deserves some recognition. So without further adieu, keep reading on how to achieve this easy eye look.
Prep by smudging concealer that is your skin tone color all over your eye lid
Place translucent powder under your eye to capture the fallout from the glitter
Create a winged line using a black liquid liner. I usually start at the outer corner of my eye, and work my way inward.
PRO TIP: Using a black eyeliner as a base will allow for the glitter to pop, and also serves as a guide on where the glitter should be placed.
Squeeze glitter primer on to the back of your hand. With a liner brush, place the glue right where you created your wing liner
PRO TIP: Focus on one eye at a time to avoid the glue drying up on the other eye
With the same liner brush (wipe the glue off), dip into your eye glitter and gently start placing it right on top of that glue.
PRO TIP: Do this about 2 times to get maximum color payoff
Clean up any fallout around your eye using a clean liner brush and dust off the excess translucent powder with a bigger face brush
Apply a burgundy shimmer shade to your lower lash line
Finish off with a healthy dose of mascara (I’ve been using this one as of late) on both the top and bottom lashes, and falsies of your choice
And voila! All done with the eyes. For the lips, I used a deep burgundy shade from Colourpop (there’s a waitlist). I’m actually really digging the formula of this particular shade. Although it’s their matte formula, it isn’t super drying on my lips. Which, as the weather gets colder, is a win!
The lashes are from Muslim and Black woman owned brand Nawal Lashes in the style “Aye Girl”.
