Super Shimmer Shadow

Eye shadow colors come in so many awesome shades, but adding a pop of shine enhances the look. Here are the steps:

STEP #1: GATHER YOUR TOOLS 

Before adhering gems to your look, it’s important to gather all the products you’ll need. Set up your vanity or bathroom counter with a piece of paper, cosmetic adhesive, tweezers and the gems of your choice. 

STEP #2: LAY OUT THE ADHESIVE

Squeeze a bit of your adhesive glue onto a piece of paper. Look for a product that’s specifically formulated for cosmetic use, as this is less likely to irritate your skin. The stronger the adhesive, the longer your gems will stay put.

STEP #3: PLACE YOUR GEMS

Using your tweezers, carefully pick up the gem of your choice. It’s a good idea to have a picture or general idea of the look you want to recreate before you start applying gems to your makeup. We recommend resting your phone or an inspiration photo against the mirror so you have a steady frame of reference as you work.

Now, dip the gem into the adhesive glue on the paper and place it wherever you’d like. You may want to push the gem down or hold it in place with the tip of the tweezer to make sure it’s secure and won’t budge. Repeat with more gems until your look is complete! Just make sure the area you’re applying gems to is clean and dry before application.
