    begin by creating a base : prime the eyelid and the area beneath the eye with concealer and to ensure it stays put, dust on a layer of loose, matte powder

    S T E P T W O

    blend a powder eyeshadow over the eyelid; to make gaps less noticeable, choose a shade which complements your choice of glitter

    S T E P T H R E E

    take the eyeshadow underneath the eye and blend it along the lower lashes; then, work a black eyeliner pencil across the top and bottom lash lines, and along the upper and lower inner rims

    S T E P F O U R

    apply two coats of black mascara to the lashes

    S T E P F I V E

    dip a flat, synthetic eyeshadow brush in glitter glue [here or here] and press it over the eyelid, avoiding the lash line, as the adhesive can sting if it enters the eye

    pick up some glitter on the same brush [as used in step five] and, using the flat side, pat it onto the eyelid; keep adding more until you build up the desired intensity

     Another great example of a smokey eye combined with glitter. If you find it impossible to do it yourself, you can always take an image like this one to any makeup counter and they can easily recreate it for you!

      The bottom eye look is beautiful. I’ve always wanted to try a silver on my eyes.
