Glitter Eyeshadows

Sometimes women want to show off their beauty, not figuratively, but in the literal sense. The reason for this can be a celebration or a wedding, a graduation party, or a photoshoot using whimsical images. In such cases, a bright look can emphasise the beauty given by nature and make the woman shine and radiant.

Glitter eyeshadows serve as a decoration, a bright finishing touch applied to the eyelids. At first, a primer or coloured cosmetics are traditionally used, chosen as a basis. With their help, the background is created, and the mood and style of the image are set.

History of the glitter eyeshadows

The Egyptian pharaohs used decorative cosmetics to provide their sight with a magical mystery. War paint was also considered a protection against evil spirits. Shining colours were obtained using mica or semiprecious stones ground into powder. The inhabitants of Ancient Rome also liked using such cosmetics.

Modern glitter eyeshadows appeared thanks to a New Jersey machinist: in 1934, collecting plastic in a landfill, he ground it into dust and got sand shining at different angles. At first, this material was used in military aviation to create clouds that disorientated the enemy. Later, it found its place in the niche of decorative cosmetics.

In the 60s, products for the face appeared in the form familiar to us, of which David Bowie became an ardent fan. His alien looks were better than any advertisements and reviews. The star and his fans did not choose what to focus on, applying fashionable novelties to the whole body.

How to use it

The improved glitter eyeshadows that returned to fashion inspired people. Professionals started creating gradient transitions of incredible beauty on the eyelids. But fine powder, like large particles, turned out to be difficult to apply. However, there are some tips on using these cosmetics:

• pre-degrease the eyelids and use a creamy base;
• start by applying shiny products with your finger, sponge, or a tightly packed brush, and then get rid of the crumbled grains with micellar water that does not require rinsing;
• apply a napkin to the lower eyelid if there is already a foundation on the face;
• apply a fixative spray to fix.

Glitter eyeshadows look more effective on a contrasting background and combined with a matte texture. At the same time, it is important not to violate the colour temperature and not to mix cold shades with warm tones. When using light colours, you will need eyeliner. Otherwise, you risk getting a tired, expressionless look.
