Hello:

I LOVE shimmer, so hopefully this will help. I use it a ton of different ways, but not all at the same time. That’s very important to remember.

First, I am in college. Many mornings I wake up with these awful dark circles under my eyes. And shimmer provides the fix. I mix a peach or white colored shimmer with my concealer and put that under my eyes in a light layer. The goal is not to have this area actually shimmer. The shimmer just makes it bright, which covers up the dark circles and makes you look wide awake. It also draws attention to your eyes.

Another way is to do the anti-smokey eye look (Smokey eye as in dark eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara). Use your shimmer as an eyeshadow. You can also use a little bit in the crease of your eye closest to your nose, and a little under your eye where you might normally put a thick line of eyeliner. This will really draw attention to your eye, and is a great way do up your eyes on a night out. Careful though, it’s easy to use too much shimmer when doing this.

The more traditional way to use shimmer is to put it where the sun would shine on your face, which would be on your forehead, your nose, and the apples of your cheeks (sometimes just on your cheeks). You want to be very careful you don’t use too much. Just do a light dusting, preferrably with a large makeup brush. You don’t want your face to be shiney, you just want it to shimmer a little in the light.

I hope you have lots of fun with your shimmer, and good luck!
