Glitter has cemented itself as non-negotiable in beauty ever since Euphoria dropped — leaving behind a veil of confetti-like shimmer around the inner corners of the eyes, and trickling down the cheeks in all of its teary-eyed glory. But the Y2K-esque embellishment has now found itself a new spot to retire: the eyebrows. Many are drenching their fluffed-up, lush-looking brows in a pool of glitter, and it’s so angelic.
While this star-studded aesthetic is all sorts of fantastical, it is pretty wearable in comparison to the slew of brow-art iterations Instagram has been spotlighting recently (cue: Doja Cat’s brow game), and it’s just a two-step process. Here’s one demonstration of the trend, and a step-by-step breakdown of the look.
This Trend From 2018 Needs To Make A Comeback
Step One
Begin by priming your eyebrows with some brow gel. This process tames the hair and allows them to hold onto the glitter better. This MUA brushed a soap-covered spoolie through the brows instead — to keep the strands in place. Many MUAs layer the brows with soap to achieve a feather-like, brushed-up aesthetic. If you don’t have a brow gel or primer, you know you have a free-of-cost alternative now.
This all-clear, fast-acting formula excels at taming the brows within seconds. It’s air-light, non-sticky, and enhances the appearance of the brows. Not just that — it doubles up as a transparent mascara too! Who doesn’t love a non-clumping multihyphenate?
This lightweight brow gel endows your brows with a fluffy, natural-looking aesthetic. It features a stellar line-up of brow-loving ingredients like chamomile — to soothe the hair — and hyaluronic acid, to plump and nourish. This one’s cruelty-free and infinitely portable.
Step Two
The second step involves glitter. You can dip your brush in a pot of loose violet-pink powder before pressing it onto the brows. Do hold a piece of tissue underneath the brows to catch any fallout. Vary the amount of glitter based on the intensity you desire. Notice how the MUA’s brows are lightly glittered throughout. If you don’t have loose powder, you can try running a glittery brow gel through the brows instead. That’s it.
This ultra-reflective powder is embellished with the prettiest hues of pink and purple. It’s extremely buildable, and it can be used on the face, body, and hair. You’ve gotta add this colour-drenched product to your cart STAT!
If you’re looking for something less pigmented, Mermaid’s Dream by PAC is a high-impact product that endows your cheeks, lips, and lids with a lot of shimmer. Just pat some product onto a damp/wet brush, and notice the shimmer-studded payoff it rewards your brows with.
If you’re looking for a light-catching brow gel instead, this one’s it for you. This double-duty product speaks the praises of ultra-rich iridescence all while taming and grooming the brows.
That’s it! What’s the verdict?
