# How Do You Use Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow?

Liquid shadows are pigments that come in the form of a liquid that is easy to apply. The texture isn't as thick as cream eyeshadows, but it's softer than powdered shadows and can be blended completely in a matter of seconds. Most liquid eyeshadows have doe-foot applicators or you can use your fingers or a brush to blend. Blending using your fingers is great for a quick and simple beauty look, and the warmth from your fingertips will dry up the product, allowing for a smooth application and the perfect [eye shimmer](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/liquid-eyeshadow).

Let's go through the fundamentals of using [liquid eyeshadow](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/liquid-eyeshadow) and how to apply what will undoubtedly become your new favourite cosmetic product.
## 1.   Applying an all-over shade 
### Let us see the most basic method of applying liquid eyeshadow:

#### Step 1: Apply a primer:
If the shadow you've chosen doesn't state that it has built-in priming capabilities, you'll want to start with an eyeshadow primer. 
Eyeshadow primers come in a variety of packaging options, similar to liquid eyeshadow: in tubing with a doe-foot brush, in a container, or a squeezing bottle. Apply a little dab to your eyelid and mix it in with your finger to any area where you'll be adding eyeshadow.

#### Step 2: Apply liquid eyeshadow on the lids:
Dip the applicator into the eyeshadow and use tiny, delicate strokes to apply to your eyelid. The shadow will seem streaky if you use long strokes. Repeat the process of dipping the brush in the eyeshadow and applying it as needed. If you have a squeeze bottle of liquid shadow, dab a tiny bit on your fingertip or a synthetic brush across your eyelids until it's thoroughly blended. 

#### Step 3: Layer to get the look you want!
You may go in with the second layer of liquid eyeshadow if you want a stronger, more vibrant appearance. You can even use [liquid glitter eyeshadow](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/liquid-eyeshadow). Once you've created an eye makeup that you like, finish it off with your preferred mascara and eyeliner.


## 2.  Applying two or more shades:
### Utilizing two or more might be frightening, but we'll show you how to do it correctly.
#### Step 1: Apply a primer and all-over colour shade:
It's the same as if you were applying just one shade: use a primer, then go ahead and blend in your base colour of choice!

#### Step 2: Apply a crease colour: 
Apply a somewhat darker liquid shadow or liquid glitter eye shimmer to the outer edges of your eyes and the bottom lash line's outer border. You may also dot the all-over colour and the crease colour onto your lid at the same time, with the all-over colour concentrated in the centre and inner corners and the crease colour concentrated in the outside corner. Then mix with a brush. When both eyeshadows are wet at the same time, they will mix more smoothly and give the perfect eye shimmer, but it will take more control.

#### Step 3: Apply a highlight:
Swipe a touch of highlight right below the bottom outside border of your brow line with a lighter eyeshadow hue or you can use liquid glitter eyeshadow. Using a brush will offer better blending power as well.

#### Summary: 
Liquid eyeshadow has been the most popular trend on the market, and they're frequently confused with lip glosses. However, once you've mastered the art of applying liquid eyeliners, you'll never have another horrible eye-makeup day!
