How To Make Eyeshadow Into Eyeliner

Turing your eyeshadow into eyeliner is possible, but you need something to mix with your eyeshadow powder to turn it into a liquid or paste consistency.

Here are a few ways to do that.

1. Clean Water

The simplest way to turn your eyeshadow powder into an eyeliner is to mix it with water. It is the easiest and most accessible product that you can use. 

When using water, make sure that you use water that’s clean and not contaminated. Remember that you are using this near your eye and you don’t want to risk getting an infection just because you wanted to create a colorful eyeliner from your eyeshadows. 

Tap water is usually clean enough.

All you have to do is to wet your angle brush with it then use it to get some eyeshadow on your eyeshadow pan. 

Mixing the water from your brush and the powder will turn it into a pasty consistency. Then you could use the same angle brush to create a line on your upper and lower eyelids just like you would when you are using a liquid eyeliner. 

2. Setting Spray

An alternative product that you can use to water is a ssetting spray . You may already have a beautiful dewy or matte setting spray in your makeup kit, which makes this hack easy to do because what you need is readily available to you. 

Setting spray is used to prevent your makeup from smudging. The formula of the setting spray could also help make sure that the eyeliner you create out of your eyeshadow doesn’t smudge or sticks properly to your eye. 

Using a setting spray is similar to using water. All you have to do is to spritz it onto your angle brush before you use it on your pressed eyeshadow.

3. Eye Drops

Another liquid that you can use and mix with your eyeshadow powder is your eye drops . Your eyedrops are sterile and safe for your eyes so they would also be safe to use to moisten your eyeshadow so you can turn it into an eyeliner. 

You can place a few drops on your brush before you get some eyeshadow that you’d like to turn into an eyeliner. Then swipe the brush across your eyes just like using an eyeliner. 

4. Inglot Duraline

For this, you have to buy Inglot Duraline  and use it to create an eyeliner. This liquid is waterless and transparent so it will not affect or change the color of the eyeshadow of your choice. 

Many are raving about using this product to intensify the color of their eyeshadow. Plus using this will also help you create a smooth and precise line in your eyes. 

5. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is another versatile product that is used not only in the beauty industry but overall. For today’s, beauty hack, you can apply some coconut oil on the brush and mix it with your eyeshadow to make the eyeliner. 

The good thing about coconut oil is that it can also provide some moisturizing and anti-microbial benefits when you use it. 

6. An Angled Brush

Depending on how pigmented your eyeshadow is, you may effectively turn it into an eyeliner just by simply using an angled brush . 

To create clean brush strokes, you need an angle brush that will help you outline your eyes or create that wing. You may need to get more of the product to make sure that the color is intense and visible. 

7. Use A Mixing Medium 

A makeup mixing medium  is another good product to use when trying to turn your eyeshadow into an eyeliner.

This has a tacky gel consistency and could work great for glittery eyeshadows. This is great because the glitter sticks to it properly and you could expect minimal fallout.
