How to Wear Glitter Eyeliner like a Supermodel

Glitter eyeliner gives you a streak of sparkle and looks sensational when paired with a winged black eyeliner but do you know how to apply this tricky product? If you've failed at liquid eyeliner application in this past, you may want to pay attention. Glitter eyeliner is a liquid eyeliner and it requires a bit of finesse. Wear that liner like a pro--or a supermodel! Check out your favorite supermodel's glittery eyes and you will see two separate, distinct lines--one black and one glitter of any color. This eyeliner guide teaches this trendy method. Follow this step by step guide for a flawless application.

Prepare your eyelids. Glitter eyeliner looks best on eyes that have a smooth skin look. Pat the eyelids with foundation or use an eye primer. Eye primer grabs the liner and keeps it in place--that's an important step if you want to keep that glitter from transferring to clothes even after a few dances. 

Apply your eye makeup, sans the liner. Since you want the focus on the glitter eyeliner, stick to eyeshadow colors that are neutral and without shimmer. You want just enough color on the lower lid to create a nice background for the eyeliners. If you prefer, you can use an eyeshadow that matches your skin.

Sharpen the black eyeliner pencil or use liquid eyeliner. Line the top of the lids only, starting at the inside and sweeping out for a winged look. A pencil is perfect for maintaining control of the liner if you are just learning and you can use the dot-smear method for a perfect line. Simply dot across the top of the lashes then use a slanted eyeshadow tool to draw a straight line. Voila! Supermodel perfect eyeliner!

Add glitter eyeliner by lining just above, but not on top of the black eyeliner. By applying glitter eyeliner next to the black eyeliner, you make the eyes "pop!" People who have shaky hands can lean on a table or dot then connect, just like the black eyeliner. Use a small angled blush to drag the color in place. 

Correct any mistakes with foundation. Touch liquid foundation around the eyes to hide accidental smudges. (Hey, it happens.)Top off the look with black mascara. 

Wear this trendy, sparkling style with the confidence of a supermodel!
