Materials Needed:
– Eyeshadow powder in your desired color
– Clear pressed eyeshadow base
– Glitter powder in your desired color
– A small bowl or dish
– A spoon or makeup brush
– A flat, clean surface to work on
– A makeup sponge or applicator
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Before you start, make sure your workspace is clean and free of any debris. This will help ensure that your pressed eyeshadow glitter turns out smooth and free of impurities.
Step 2: Mix the Eyeshadow and Glitter
In your small bowl or dish, combine the eyeshadow powder and glitter powder in the ratio that you prefer. For a subtle shimmer, use a 1:1 ratio. If you want a more glittery look, increase the amount of glitter powder accordingly.
Step 3: Add the Eyeshadow Base
Once you have your desired color and glitter ratio, add a small amount of the clear pressed eyeshadow base to the mixture. The base will help bind the eyeshadow and glitter together, creating a smooth, pressed eyeshadow product.
Step 4: Stir the Mixture
Using a spoon or makeup brush, gently stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. It’s important to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure that the glitter is evenly distributed throughout the eyeshadow base.
Step 5: Apply the Mixture to the Pressed Eyeshadow Base
Take a small amount of the mixed eyeshadow and glitter and apply it to the flat, clean surface. Using your makeup sponge or applicator, spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
Step 6: Press the Mixture
Place the pressed eyeshadow base on top of the mixed eyeshadow and glitter. Press down firmly and evenly to ensure that the ingredients adhere to the base. Hold the base in place for a few seconds to allow the mixture to set.
Step 7: Allow the Pressed Eyeshadow to Dry
Set the pressed eyeshadow aside and allow it to dry completely. This may take a few minutes, depending on the thickness of the mixture.
Step 8: Cut and Shape the Pressed Eyeshadow
Once the pressed eyeshadow has dried, use a pair of scissors to cut the excess material from the edges. You can then shape the pressed eyeshadow to your desired size and shape.
Step 9: Store Your Pressed Eyeshadow Glitter
Place your newly created pressed eyeshadow glitter in a clean, airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from crumbling.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully made your own pressed eyeshadow glitter. Enjoy experimenting with different colors and ratios to find the perfect shade for your makeup routine.
