Half EOTD- My attempt at glitter liner.

[thenovice]

So, i was trying to do glitter liner- and i tried many different mediums to hold the glitter. I dipped my brush in Macroviolet fluidline, then into the glitter- but after a while, the glitter simply just fell out. I tried shadesticks, i tried paint pots, i tried eyelash glue, i tried mixing medium. ACK! And this liner stick was the only thing that would hold it decently. And the pictures are links because they are enormous.

Any suggestions for trying it on the top of my lid? And this was purely an experiment, hahahah.

Looks great! Benefit has a product called She laq that works wonders with holding glitter, HTH!

LOVE the glitter!!!

I've never tried glitter, but I know that Ben Nye makes Creme Pencils that hold shadow really well when you use them as a base. They're softer/creamier/stickier than regular liners because they're made for face painting, I believe. Very reasonably-priced, too. http://www.theatrehouse.net/mm5/merc...de=MakeBenFace

i always used chapstick or lipstick to hold glitter on ... back when i was a "raver" haha, i wore just silver glitter, and i always put on a cheap silver lipstick as a base, then packed the glitter on top of it. It always stayed on till I took it off (all the way through those all night rave parties

)

I like the glittery part!!! very pretty!!!

get mac eyeliner mixing medium-it's the best!! you can even 'foil' your whole lid with glitter and it does hold....downside: some ppl. experience a slight stinging until it dries ( a minute or so)
for a thin line and occasional use ,mix some with clear eyelash glue....but only if you don't have any other options...(it goes on creamy and thick, so blend it well into a thin line )

Thanks so much ladies!

Mac mixing medium water based is the best imo. Water bases is suitable for the eyes.

That's a very sexy look!
I'm afraid of glitter cause I can never apply it right!

Thanks ladies- i am going to attempt it yet again today. But this time actually finish the look instead of just doing the bottom. Hehe.
