What Are Glitter Eyeshadows?

Glitter eyeshadows are eyeshadows that contain glitter particles. Unlike matte eyeshadows that are flat and do not reflect light, glitter eyeshadows catch and reflect light. They add drama to the eyes and work great as party makeup.

There are different finishes that can be achieved with glitter eyeshadows based on how big or small the particles are. For a subtle sheen, eyeshadows with fine glitter dust work best. If you are going for an OTT sparkly look, then you would do well to opt for eyeshadows with chunkier glitter that will give off a more shimmery effect.

Gel Base or Powder Glitter Eyeshadow?

You can opt for either gel based glitter eyeshadow or you can go for a powder form. The basic difference between these two is that the gel base is easier to handle. With the powder form there is more fallout. Also, if you’re an amateur when it comes to makeup, then you might face some trouble applying the powder eye shadow the way you want. But on the flip side, gel based eyeshadows are more likely to crease after a while and settle into the lines on your lids. So depending on your level of comfort and weighing the pros and cons, you can opt for either of those forms.

Also make it a point to apply a base of eye primer so that your eyeshadow will stay put for longer.
