Materials Needed
- Glycerin
- Powdered highlighter or eyeshadow in your desired shade
- Cosmetic container with a lid
- A small mixing bowl
- A spatula or small spoon for mixing
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
The first step in making a homemade illuminator is to gather all the necessary ingredients. Ensure you have glycerin, powdered highlighter or eyeshadow in your preferred shade, a cosmetic container with a tight-fitting lid, a small mixing bowl, and a spatula or small spoon for mixing.
Step 2: Measure the Glycerin
Take the small mixing bowl and measure the desired amount of glycerin depending on the size of your container. If you prefer a more creamy consistency, use a larger amount of glycerin. For a more gel-like texture, use less.
Step 3: Add the Highlighter or Eyeshadow
Add a small amount of powdered highlighter or eyeshadow to the glycerin. The amount you use will depend on how intense you want the illuminator to be. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve your desired shade.
Step 4: Mix Thoroughly
Using a spatula or small spoon, mix the glycerin and powdered highlighter or eyeshadow together until they are well combined. Make sure there are no clumps and the color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Transfer to the Container
Carefully transfer the illuminator mixture into the cosmetic container. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent air from entering and drying out the illuminator.
Step 6: Let it Set
Allow the homemade illuminator to set and solidify for a few hours or overnight. This will ensure the glycerin and powdered ingredients fully combine, resulting in a smooth consistency.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Homemade Illuminator
Once the illuminator has set, it’s now ready for use! Apply a small amount to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow, for a beautiful, natural glow that will enhance your features.
Making your own homemade illuminator is a fun and creative way to customize your makeup routine. By following these simple steps, you can create a unique illuminator that suits your preferences and saves you money. So, go ahead and give it a try!
