How To Glam Your Brows With Glitter

Mar 25, 2011 - by Amanda Gabriele

Happy Friday! It's almost time for the weekend which leaves us with one last task before hitting the bar/club/restaurant/party... what to wear? I can't see inside your closets, but I can show how to add a little glitz to your face. I've been rocking glitter eyebrows for years - it's the perfect remedy if you're a little bored and need to dazzle. You won't believe how easy it is, so click through for the how-to.

All you need for this beauty routine is a tube of solid lip balm, an angled eye shadow brush and fine loose glitter of your choice.

Step 1: Take your lip balm and apply it to your eyebrow, covering the skin slightly above and below. I like Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm because it goes on smoothly and has a cooling effect. And please, make sure you buy a separate tube you're not going to use on your lips.

 

Step 2: Dip your angled eye shadow brush into your pot of glitter, shaking off the excess. Apply pressure in a sweeping motion across the length of your brow. Press the brush down to make sure the glitter will adhere to the balm without budging. A good quality, super cheap brush will do just fine, like the Sonia Kashuk Angled Eyeshadow Brush. As for glitter, Make Up For Ever Glitters are amazing, and I'm obsessed with NYX Glitter Powder, which is what I used here.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the eyebrow is coated with an amount of glitter than suits you. For the finished product below, I executed steps 1 and 2 three times for each eyebrow.

 

Eat your heart out Cher.

Now you're ready for anything! What do you think, will you try this look over the weekend?
