• DIY: Colored Glitter Liner

  
  
  Good quality glitter liners are really hard to come by. MAC occasionally has some but they're typically Limited Edition. Plus, I'm not exactly in love with theirs. Urban Decay and NYX also both have some as well. Personally I love NYX Candy Glitter liners. Here though, is a way to make any color glitter liner that your heart desires.
  
  You'll need:
  
  - cosmetic glitter of your choice
  - loose eyeshadow/pigment of your choice
  - Glitter Adhesive (Sally Girl Gel Adhesive for glitter---less than $2.00)
  - any eye makeup brush
  
  
  
  

  Start with a small amount of the glitter gel on a hard surface or even your hand.
  
  

  
  
  

  Sprinkle your choice of glitter...
  

  
  
  

  and mix using the brush.
  

  
  
  

  Your result is a clear based gel with your glitter. Perfect, but there is a way to kick up and customize the glitter liner even more by creating a colored base.
  
  

  
  
  

  Pick up a very small amount of your pigment with the brush...
  
  

  
  
  

  and mix it into your existing glitter liner.
  
  

  
  
  

  Now you have the final product! A glitter liner WITH a colored base
  
  

  
  
  

  They're really are endless possibilities. Here I've mixed a black pigment/pink glitter, purple pigment/red glitter, and a silver pigment/gold glitter, which is perfect for the holidays.
  
  

  
  
  
  Did you find this helpful? Would you try to make your own glitter eyeliner?
