This rainbow highlighter is all over the Internet! It`s originally made and sold by BitterLaceBeauty from Florida, USA. This product gane more and more popularity for a reason! The idea is that when it`s applyed to your cheekbones, it appears like a rainbow. How cool, right?! And now we can all be unicorns, mermaids or whatever magical creature we feel like. Of course, this product isn`t suitable for everyday make-up (or maybe it is?) but it`s perfect for music festivals, photos, Halloween, or just having fun!
And because it`s out of stock in BitterLaceBeauty`s etsy shop, for now, we will make it ourselves! The proces isn`t very tidy, and we just can`t make something to look as good as the original one, but the final result is worth it!
All you need:
> Colourful shimmery eyeshadows
> Rubbing alchohol
> A cup for each colour
> Empty make-up pan
> Tooth pick, cotton buds, cotton disk
1. First, choose your colours and how you will arange them. You can look at the original one or create your own combination.
2. Find your perfect container. You can use empty make-up pan or whatever you have. Everything with suitable size works. I used an old compact mirror.
3. Brake all the shadows, using a tooth pick.
4. Put them in an individual cup, which you don`t mind messing up.
5. Add some white pearl eyeshadow or highlighter if your shadow is matte or you just want some more shimmery.
6. Don`t be afraid to mix colours in order to get the right shade.
7. Add few drops rubbing alchohol to your first colour and mix. If you need add some more alchohol but be careful! The mixture should be lika paste – not too liquid, not too dry. Keep in mind that the higher the percentage is, the quicker it will dry.
8. When the mixture is ready, start laying it in the container.
9. You can clean up with a cotton bud. That way you will prevent unwanted overflow.
11. Put a cotton disk over them and press carefully. For best ressults use something with the similar size and shape to press with. That way the cotton disk will absorb the excess alchohol from the product and you will get that pressed powder effect.Keep in mind that if there is any pattern on your cotton disk it will imprint on the product.
12. Let it dry out. The higher the alchohol percentage is, the quicker it will dry. I used 96% alchohol and it dried for 8h.
