A Quick Wash

Add some shimmer to your no-makeup, model-off-duty makeup look. It takes under a minute to pull this off; simply swipe the liquid glitter eyeshadow ($5) all over your lid, then use a brush (or your fingers) to quickly blend out the product. You'll be left with a subtle wash of glitter on your lid.

Glitter Liner

Instead of a traditional cat eye, add a little glam to this classic look by swapping out liquid liner for liquid glitter. Start off by taking a small angled brush ($4), and dip it into the liquid glitter eyeshadow ($5). Using short strokes, follow the lash line from the inner corner to the outer edge, applying more product to the brush as needed. Extend the line past the outer corner, up toward the brow bone, and fill it in. To finish off the look, place a bit of glitter on your lower lash line, then add a few swipes of mascara.

A neutral eye makeup look will never let you down — it's timeless. You can wear it day or night, for everyday glam, or to formal events — remember those?! If you're searching for a way to elevate your go-to eyeshadow look, glitter is the solution. After applying your day-to-day makeup look, place some liquid glitter eyeshadow ($5) in 24K Gold on the back of your hand, then use a brush to softly apply the product in the inner corner and tear duct, to the middle of the lid, and up toward the brow bone.
