Eye makeup has evolved beyond single eyeshadow use to cut creases, pastel looks, and graphic loners. This new trend in eye makeup has paved the way for what is now becoming popular in light, and dramatic eye makeup looks; bejewelled eye looks.

Shimmer eyeshadow is sometimes said to have paved the way for a rhinestone or bejewelled eye makeup. Regardless of what occasion you’re headed to, rhinestone eye makeup adds to the touch of glitz you need.

We have created a guide to applying gems and rhinestones to create perfect eye makeup and how to rock them.

Different Rhinestone Eye Makeup Looks
There are different ways to pull off rhinestone eye makeup looks. Here are 6 rhinestone eye makeup looks to try:

Lids
For a statement eye makeup look, there’s only one way to get that, and that is to adorn your eyelids with beautiful gems. This a bold eye makeup look that would also look great in Instagram selfies.
Take the rhinestone eyelid makeup look up a notch by forming a base with a shimmering eyeshadow of your choice before adding the rhinestones.

Brow Bone
For accent looks, consider using rhinestone gems to line your brow bone. You can choose a simple look by using a single row of rhinestones or go the extra mile by staring from your crease to your arch for a more intricate design.

Crease
Another rhinestone eye makeup idea is a gem-lined crease. Create a cut crease look using rhinestones as an accent. Place them carefully using the gems to define and highlight your creases, giving a new look to cut creases. For the perfect contrast, be sure to pair your gem crease with a matte lid.

Under-Eyes
Another rhinestone eye look to create is an under-eye gem makeup look. Gently place the rhinestones below your eye, placing them across your lower lash line. You can either place them in a single line or create an elaborate design. Think of this as another way to hide your eye under bags.

Eyebrows
For lovers of glitter brows, gem eyebrow looks are just as beautiful. Think of filling in your eyebrows but instead of using a brow gel using gems. These glittering rhinestones add another meaning to eyebrows on fleek.
