Guide to Making Glitter Gel Eyeliner

To create a glitter gel eyeliner, the main components typically include:

1. Base: Acts as the gel or liquid medium to hold the glitter.
2. Glitter/Shimmer: Provides the sparkle effect.
3. Film Former: Helps the product adhere well and prevents fallout.

Based on the ingredients found, several items can be considered:

• For the Base:

  • For a silicone-based base, you can use Silicone Gel (High Gloss, Dimethicone Base) or Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky), which provide a soft, smooth, easy-to-spread texture, and some offer good gloss.
  • For a water-based base, Polyacrylate-21 (Water Base, Gloss & Flexible) is a water-based film former that provides good gloss and flexibility and can be part of a water-based base.
  • Hectorite Gel™ (Isononyl Isononanoate Base) is an oil-based gelling agent that helps suspend powders effectively.
  • Eye Liner (Low Magnet) is a ready-made water-based eyeliner base that could potentially be adapted by adding glitter.

• For Glitter/Shimmer:

  • Mica types such as Gold Glitter Mica or Red Pink Super Sparkle Mica provide sparkle and can be well dispersed in silicone and oil bases.
  • Needle Beads like Gold Needle Beads 0.6mm or Silver Needle Beads 0.6mm are colored beads suitable for use in clear bases for visual effect. They should be added in the final step and kept away from heat.

• For Film Former:

  • Polyacrylate-21 (Water Base, Gloss & Flexible) (mentioned in the water-based section) helps create a glossy and flexible film, suitable for water-based formulas.
  • Lip Film HR (Gloss Film Former For Glossy Lip) is a high-gloss film former soluble in oil.

Important Notes:

• Creating a glitter gel eyeliner formula requires experimentation to adjust the proportions of ingredients to achieve the desired texture, glitter dispersion, and longevity.
• The glitter used should be cosmetic grade, especially for use around the eyes, to ensure safety.
• Compatibility testing of ingredients is recommended before actual production.
