It is impossible to imagine them in makeup in the summer, but in winter no girl can do without shimmering eye shadow. ELLE has prepared detailed instructions on which shadows from the new collections you should choose to give your eyes the right shine.
Chanel
Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow with shimmering particles envelops the eye in a soft, pearlescent veil, giving it delicate expressiveness. If you slightly increase the intensity of the color by applying shadows in several layers, the effect will be more provocative and daring.

Already at the first glance at the Sparkling Party Palette from Shiseido from the Christmas collection, it becomes clear that under its lid are hidden beauty products that are brilliant in every sense of the word.

Make Up For Ever
The Make Up For Ever brand is known for its rich palette of eye shadows, so we couldn’t do without them in this review. Among the huge number of shadows, I would like to highlight the Artist Shadow line with a shimmering pigment in its composition. They need to be applied over a makeup base so that they last all evening. Such shadows will look appropriate in both daytime and evening makeup.
Max Factor
Highly pigmented eye shadow Wild shadow pots from Max Factor lie very smoothly and softly on the eyelids, can be mixed with each other, and for color intensity it is recommended to apply them with a damp brush. Among the 16 shades, it is very difficult to choose just one, so we recommend that you do not limit yourself, but buy several at once in order to experiment and experiment without stopping.
Maybelline NY
The American brand Maybelline NY does not lag behind its colleagues in the beauty industry and produces a huge number of collections of shadows with shiny textures. One of these was the Diamond Glow line. As the name suggests, these shadows will enhance your look with the shimmer of every facet of a diamond.
Vivienne Sabo
The shimmering effect on the eyes from Vivienne Sabo's Rue de Rivoli eye shadow from the Christmas collection is achieved due to the silver particles contained in the shadows. These shadows are ideal for both simple daytime makeup and evening looks.
Catrice
Catrice's Feathered Fall eyeshadow promises to create a wide-eyed look with a shimmery effect. Their advantage is the 3D texture, which will give the look depth and expressiveness.

Makeup with sparkles comes into fashion, then again ceases to be popular. But now he is back in trend! In this article you can learn about the features of such a make-up, tips for each eye color and step-by-step instructions.
Features of glitter makeup
It is important not to forget that glitter is a very bright element, so you need to use it carefully.
And if this is not masquerade or carnival makeup, then there should be only one shiny element. But now there is a large choice - these include eye shadows, eyeliners, glitters, highlighters and much more.
If previously shiny cosmetics were used only in evening makeup, now this element has migrated to daytime makeup.
As mentioned above, it is fashionable to use glitter everywhere, but the main thing is not to overdo it.
Tips for using glitter cosmetics and application:
- Eyeliner - this is the easiest way to start introducing glitter into your makeup. It can be matched to your eye color, or you can choose a color that highlights it. Matte shadows are selected as a base for this eyeliner.
- Glitter eyeliner under the eyebrows. More recently, emphasizing the shape of the eyebrows with silver eyeliner has become fashionable. With this make-up, the rest of the image should be as discreet and minimalistic as possible.
- Glitter eyeshadow in makeup. A very current trend is mono-eye makeup, that is, shiny shadows all over the eyelid. If you cover the eyelid with specialized glue and apply shiny crumbly shadows, then the ideal makeup for the evening is ready.
- Shine on the inner corner of the eye. This is a very fashionable modern trend. This technique will emphasize the depth of the eyes.
- Glitter powder. It will highlight the features of the oval face and help distract attention from imperfections. And by applying bronze shimmering powder to your neck and décolleté, you will notice a beautiful tan. Makeup with glitter on your cheekbones will look beautiful.
- Lip gloss. If you take glitter for lips, then this is exclusively for evening makeup. If you choose a light gloss with a small amount of shiny particles, then it can be used during the day. It will refresh your makeup and make your lips softer and more seductive.
- Glitter mascara. This is a very interesting and effective way to give your eyelashes more volume and shimmer.
When applying glitter to your face, it is important to:
- Excess crumbled glitter can be removed with regular tape.
- To prevent the glitter from falling off, cover your face with a napkin.
- Apply sparkles and glitter with a brush or applicator.
- When applying glitter to your lips, you should use a moisturizing lipstick, as they dry out.
In 2017, glitter makeup is trending.

Glitter makeup for different eye colors
To make glitter makeup especially beautiful, you should choose a different makeup for each eye color.
Since one, for example, will emphasize and make green-eyed people brighter, but will not suit those with gray eyes at all.
Makeup with sparkles for the eyes will add brightness to the image and emphasize the beauty of the eyes.
Green eyes
Shiny eyeliner of various green shades will highlight the color of green eyes especially beautifully. But you should absolutely not use black. And warm shades will make your eyes even more deep and dramatic.
Green eye color can range from gray-green to dark green (jade). Makeup for green eyes with sparkles is best done depending on the tone.
The darker the eye color, the more intense the range of shadows with glitter you should choose for makeup.
For dark greens
For dark eyes, you can choose dark brown or graphite eyeshadow and eyeliner. But for daytime makeup it will be too bright an accent.
Therefore, for a daytime look, you should choose olive or honey-colored eyeshadow. But you can choose a glittery dark gold or autumn ivy eyeliner color.
For light green
Almost any color is suitable for spring foliage eyes, the main thing is that the color of the eyeliner is not darker than the color of the iris, otherwise it will interrupt the natural beauty of green-eyed beauties.
Those with light green eyes need to use more subtle shades. It could be soft pink, lilac or lemongrass. But with any choice, makeup should be transparent.
Grey eyes
It would seem that gray color means boredom and everyday life. But this is not at all about gray-eyed beauties. The shade of such eyes can vary from silver to dark steel.
All cool colors are suitable for glitter makeup for gray eyes. But especially the silver palette. It emphasizes the depth of the eyes and makes their color clear.
Brown, orange and terracotta colors are absolutely not suitable for gray-eyed people. These lights make the eyes appear cloudy and appear tear-stained. Also, don't use black eyeliner. It makes your eyes look like they've fallen into a hole.
Colors that suit gray-eyed people: purple, silver, sky, pink, white, burgundy, green, ash. These colors will highlight the beauty of gray eyes and will not drown them out. It is especially good to use pearlescent and shiny shadows. They will make your look more radiant.
It is better to choose blue, graphite or purple eyeliner. They will not drown out the natural gray color, unlike black.
Gray eye color is interesting because with different uses of shadows you can give them different shades:
- So, to give gray eyes a blue tint, you need to apply peach or salmon-colored shadows to the eyelid, and highlight the corner of the eye with blue glitter.
- To make the eyes appear green, pink, maroon, plum and lilac shades are used. You can simply line your eyes with glitter eyeliner in the above colors.

Brown eyes
Brown eye color is the most common. It also has many shades from light beige cream to dark chocolate color. The main thing in makeup for brown eyes with sparkles is the right frame. Therefore, first they correct the eyebrows, then apply shadows and finally mascara.
For brown eyes, all gray and golden colors, dark green and the entire purple-pink range are suitable.
The easiest way to highlight your eyes is to line them with glitter eyeliner of the appropriate color. The darker the eyes, the darker the shade of eye shadow or eyeliner you should choose.
For dark eyes, both black eyeliner and black mascara are suitable. They will emphasize the depth of the eyes and make them more velvety. Oriental style makeup is especially suitable for brown-eyed girls.
Use blue and green shadows with caution. And they are absolutely not suitable - these are brick and terracotta. They obscure the natural color of the eyes, making it completely inexpressive.
The photo below shows several examples of how you can do makeup for brown eyes with glitter:
Blue eyes
Blue eyes are the standard of beauty in many countries. It is found much less frequently than the others. It is a symbol of tenderness and purity. Therefore, brilliant makeup for blue eyes must be done carefully and diligently.
No matter how attractive it may seem, you should not use blue eyeshadows and eyeliners. This will cross out all the natural beauty of the heavenly eyes and the face will become one blue spot.
To add brightness, you can choose contrasting shades - yellow, red and orange. But these are quite extravagant colors and not everyone will agree to this.
It's easier to use colors that highlight their natural blue: gold, copper, purple-pink, peach, lilac, plum, as well as neutrals - taupe and ash.
It will be very beautiful to highlight blue eyes with shiny smoky mascara or eyeliner. They will add depth and mystery.

Glitter eyeshadow is a widely used cosmetic product. They create a pleasant shimmer that can sparkle brightly for a long time. Girls should be able to correctly determine which eyeshadow with a wet eyelid effect is best suited.
There are many different options for glittery eye makeup.
Types of shadows
The largest category of shadows is compact. They are based on dry compressed powder, which is placed in a convenient, practical package. There can be either single-color shadows or palettes of different colors. They combine successfully with each other. It is convenient to apply such cosmetics with an applicator, which is often included, as well as with a brush or fingers. The cosmetics in question have a long shelf life. When using it, a number of features are taken into account:
- do not put a lot of shadows on the brush at one time so that they do not fall off;
- when learning how to apply makeup, use an applicator;
- cosmetics must be applied to a primer so that they do not roll off and remain stable;
- use the wet application method to make the color more saturated and bright;
- As an eyeliner, use an angled moistened brush.
Loose shadows were initially used only in professional makeup, but gradually moved into the category of everyday cosmetics. Due to the light powdery structure, the products are easily mixed, thereby creating new color options with reduced cosmetic consumption.
If such cosmetics are applied correctly, the effect of smooth color transitions will be created. A specific feature of these shadows is their high tendency to crumble, which is why they should be applied exclusively with primers.
Important! The skin under the eyes should first be covered with patches or pieces of paper.
Liquid shadows have appeared on the cosmetic market recently, but have already become popular among girls. This is the most durable type of this type of cosmetics, which contains the following ingredients:
- water;
- nutritional elements;
- glycerol;
- vitamins, etc.
Such shadows have a positive effect on the condition of the eyelid skin, providing it with nutrition and hydration. They do not crumble or fade, as a result of which good makeup remains intact throughout the day. They can be used by girls with both normal and dry skin. However, it is better not to use such shadows on oily skin, as they will accumulate in the folds of the eyelid and look unpleasant.
Liquid shadows dry out quickly on the eyelids, so you need to apply and blend them as quickly as possible. Any shade can be suitable for daytime or evening makeup, depending on how thick the application is. It is preferable to use a base before applying wet eyeshadow.
Additional Information. When applying, a flat brush equipped with synthetic bristles will be used.

Most glitter eye shadows can be purchased at beauty supply stores. There is a large selection of products with different names to suit every budget and taste.
Shimmery eyeshadow with glitter
Shadows with a shimmer effect differ from each other in the volume of shimmer, texture and application methods. Most often, shiny pearl shades with light shimmer are used. They effectively highlight the eyes, add expressiveness and sparkle to the look, remove imperfections and direct attention to makeup. At the end of the procedure, gloss is added by treating the eyelid with balm or eyelid varnish.
The evening look of the face can be decorated with wet glitter for the eyes. It is based on shadows of dark tones with a metallic effect. If possible, the shimmer should be as finely chopped as possible.
The eyelids are prepared using an eyeshadow base. After this, blue, burgundy, black or green shadows with shimmer are applied to them. A cosmetic product is applied on top of the shadows, creating a glossy shine. In this case, it is allowed to combine gloss, balm or lip varnish.
Shimmering shadows with added glitter can be used not only as a stand-alone product, but also as an eyeliner or as an addition to basic makeup. The glitter lasts a long time without falling off due to the action of shadows and glitters.
The main colors of shimmering glitter are:
Wet effect eyeshadow
The use of this cosmetics depends on what image is being created: day or night. In the first case, they usually make do with cosmetics for a glossy effect. The use of colorless light shadows is also common.
A primer is applied to the eyelids, and a layer of nude shadows is placed on top of it. It is used both with matte cosmetics and with shimmers. The second option is more suitable for those girls who want to more expressively emphasize the effect of wet shadows.
Features of applying shiny shadows
First you need to cleanse your face with tonic or any other suitable cosmetic product. The face is covered with moisturizing cosmetics and left until completely absorbed into the skin. If there are bags or bruises under the eyes, they are hidden with the help of a corrector.
Both eyelids need to be completely covered with foundation, then thoroughly shaded. First, apply a small amount of powder, since the shadows apply best to this product. In order to avoid the formation of brightly highlighted stripes, shading is used. After it, the glitter will look more natural.
Using a pencil or eyeliner, draw arrows. The line can be drawn along both the lower and upper eyelids. Rhinestones are applied using a moistened applicator. If they have a crumbly structure, it is preferable to fix them with special eyelash glue. A small amount of glitter is applied to the eyelids in strips from the inner corner of the eye.
If the layer is too large, wipe the eyelids with a cotton swab. You should not opt for a color palette that is too light as it can make the wrinkles under the eyes stand out more. The process ends with the application of mascara, which is applied in several layers to improve the effect.
Glitter looks most pleasant on tanned skin. For girls with fair skin, it is recommended to choose powder and foundation a couple of shades darker. Dry cosmetics should be secured with glue for additional hold. When using it, it is better to close your eyes and not blink.
Note! If a gel or cream is applied to the base, the cosmetics will last for a long time.
