Gunmetal & Glitter Makeup How To

1. Prime your eyelids. Using a sheer coat of soft white or light grey eye shadow and a fluffy eye shadow brush, apply a wash of eye shadow as your base from your lash line to crease. Founder of Electric Picks Jewelry Mj Barton used MAC Eye Shadow in “Gesso.”
2. Add depth with medium gray shadow. Swipe a medium gray-colored eye shadow into the crease and over the outer corner of your eye with a contouring eye shadow brush to instantly add dimension and create a smoky effect. Mj used MAC Eye Shadow in “Scene.”
3. Trace your lash line with eye shadow. With the same eye shadow and brush you used in step two, trace your lower lash line to add depth.
4. Add a shimmery dark silver shadow to the outer corner of your eye. Dust a gunmetal-shaded shadow from the center of your eyelid out toward the outer corner of your eye using a flat brush. Mj used Victoria’s Secret Pro Magic FX Hypegloss Eye Shimmer in “Nightlights and Starlights.”
5. Apply black glitter to the outer half of the eyelid. To take your look to the next level,pat black glitter (Mj used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Glitter in “Blaylock”) over the outer corner of your eye with the same flat tip brush you used in step four.Don’t worry, it will stick to the Hypergloss eye shadow you just applied, so it shouldn’t fall all over your face; however, if it does, lift any extra glitter away by creating a bubble with some masking tape. If you want to apply glitter to your eyes but didn’t just use the Hypergloss, mix the glitter with a cream shadow before applying it to your eyes to make it stick. Lastly, run a metallic silver liner along your waterline, and add mascara. Mj used L’Oreal HiP Color Chrome eyeliner in “Silver Lightning.”
