Hi I'm Stewart. I'm a makeup artist and today I'm going to show you tips for applying glitter eye makeup for blue eyes. The tools that you're going to need is glitter eye makeup and a flat eye shadow brush. Let's get started. The first step is to start out with a smoky eye. In this case for blue eyes I've added a charcoal brown smoky eye. It softens the effect and it also makes the blue eyes stand out. You want to take a complimentary color glitter. In this case I've picked a sparkly gold glitter that will compliment the chocolate brown shadow. Take the glitter, tap it onto your hand, take the flat brush, dip it into the glitter and push it into the brush, tap off the excess and apply to the lid and you want to do this in a tapping motion across the lid so as to work the glitter into the eye shadow. You're going to repeat on the left side, tap off the excess and apply to the lid. Again pushing the glitter into the eye. Finally, you can add a little bit more glitter to your hand, push the brush into the glitter, tap and apply to the inner corners of the eye which will make your eyes stand out and make the colors pop even more. Repeat again on the left side, tap off the excess and apply to the inner corner of the eye. This has been how to apply glitter makeup for blue eyes. The most important item is the glitter. I'm Stewart. Thanks for watching.
