Now that we’ve been wearing protective face masks and focusing our makeup on our eyes as a result, colorful geometric shadow and printed cut-crease designs are currently on our must-try lists. But you don’t need to go the intricate route to achieve a head-turning eye look. All you need is some glitter.
To give you some inspiration, we’re sharing five glitter eyeshadow tutorials for every skill level and sparkle enthusiast.

Bookmark this tutorial, created by NYC-based makeup artist Jonet Williamson, for New Year’s Eve. She uses the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Gel in Disco Daydream to get the metallic confetti-like look.
A Fiery Gold Glitter Look
This mesmerizing look by vlogger @MakeupTiffanyJ reminds us of a sunrise. Starting off with a hot pink shadow, she blends it into her crease and highlights her brow bone with a yellow shade.

Always one to take makeup looks to the next level, Rowi Singh adds a sprinkling of gold cosmetic glitter under her eyes to accompany an already bold, embellished winged eye look. Check out her Instagram caption for all of the products she used to create it.
