Because the MAC
Rocky Horror 3D Black glitter was so insanely pretty I had to snag it! However I didn't really think about the fact
that I have never used loose glitter before. Luckily my mom had a lash glue she
wasn't a fan of so I've been using that to apply it, but I've since ordered
Urban Decay's Bondage which works much better. Anyway, I've been experimenting
with some different things and wanted to share my crazy antics! These
techniques can easily be used with any loose glitter out there, doesn't have to
be this one. Enjoy!
Here is the glitter
in all its awesomeness...so pretty. It has
black, silver, green, red, blue....you name it, it will shine that color
depending on how the light hits it. I
love it!
First up is simply
using it as an eyeliner!
If you do this BE
VERY CAREFUL. You do not want glitter in your eye it will suck very
badly. Just please be careful when using glitter around your
eye....
This glitter can
really glam up an eye look in an instant. So fun! However I think it prefer it under my eye rather than above. To do this I put glitter adhesive on my winged liner and patted the glitter over top with a small brush.
I find it much safer
to use the glitter as an eye liner under the eye to minimize the chances of a
spec damaging the cornea.
Next I'm going to
use it as an eyeshadow enhancer.
I picked up Urban
Decay's Bondage in order to use this glitter more effectively and discovered
that it also works fairly well to create an all over sparkly eye shadow effect.
I'm sorry I didn't do any close ups for this but up close it just
looks...strange. From a normal distance
covering your eye lid in this glitter creates a super enchanting look. However getting up as close as my camera does
it looks very strange.
To do this I lightly
coated my entire eyelid with Bondage using the brush in the lid. I was able to put it right on top of the
eyeshadow I was already wearing and it didn't mess it up at all. Next I took a
eye shadow brush and lightly dipped it in the glitter then carefully patted it
onto my eyelid. It suck really well and
didn't budge until I took it off with makeup remover!
This glitter can
seriously glam up an eye look in an instant. So fun!
Moving away from the
eyes, next up is glitter lips!
A little less
practical...but super fun nonetheless. Just be careful not to eat too much of
it. I did not put a lip gloss on top but
if I ever wore it out I probably would in order to keep the glitter from going
in my mouth or on my chin.
Mmm look at those sparkles. To do this I put the 3D Black over NYX's Simply Vamp Lipstick in Temptress. To apply I simply patted the glitter onto my lips with my finger.
And finally the last use I have for
my glitter is as a nail polish.
This is super easy
to do and the results are amazing. I
love my nails right now. To keep with the theme I put the Rocky Horror glitter
on top of my Rocky Horror nail polish in Bad Fairy.
To do this simply
mix the glitter and a top coat or clear nail polish on a piece of plastic, then
paint away! I would recomend doing this
with a cheap clear polish as you tend to have to use a lot, it also wastes some
glitter, but there is so much of it in that jar I'm not really worried.
I hope you now have
some fun new techniques to try with your loose glitter. Have fun and don't get it in your eye!
