makeupbysach: HOW TO: Glitter Wing Liner!

Hey guys! Today I thought I'd show you how to create a glitter wing liner using Certifeye's 'Burgundy' glitter.

Of course you can use any coloured glitter you like but I wanted to use this one! :)

- a little word of warning, this look is a little tricky to achieve but practice makes perfect!

Step 1 - PRIME

Apply an eyeshadow base or a concealer to ensure you have a blank canvas and set it with a pressed or translucent powder or even an eye shadow that is close to your skin tone.

It's important to set the base with a powder so that the base itself doesn't crease on your lid and that any eye shadow you apply on top blends seamlessly.

I used LA Girl HD Pro Conceal 'Cool Tan' (£1.92) & Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder 'Transparent' (£3.99)

p.s. there's left over glue in my lashes from when I wore falsies the other night, it looks weird.

Step 2 - LINE

Wing your liner as you would normally do - if you need help with this, apply some tape on the edge of your eye and line it up to the tail of your eyebrow. This will give you a sharp edge and a perfect wing.

I did my wing free hand and used a makeup wipe to clean up underneath, to make the wing straight and sharp.

For this look, a thicker wing will give you more space to work with to apply the glitter!

I used Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner 'Black' (£7.99) with the ZOEVA 317 Wing Liner brush (£3.95)

I also applied some eyeshadow (brown tones in the crease)

- Jaclyn Hill Favourites Palette by Morphe Brushes (sorry I couldn't find a link for this)

Step 3 - GLITTER!

Dip a really thin brush into some sort of glitter mixing medium and wipe of the excess.

Examples of what you can use:

[What I used] Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Primer (£13)

- Lit Cosmetics Clearly Liquid Glitter Base ($10)

- MAC Mixing Medium Shine (£16)

I used the ZOEVA 315 Fine Liner brush (£5.95)

Run the brush through the glitter and tap off the excess, if there are lumps of glitter stuck onto the brush wipe the brush on the back of your hand until smooth.
