3 Best Liquid Glitter Eyeshadows for Dancers
Remember the days when putting glitter everywhere you could before a dance performance was the cool thing to do? Well good news - glitter is back! And the new makeup era has glitter all glowed up, just like us! So, now we get to go back to the glitter eyeshadow looks for game days but without the early 2k glitter makeup trends.
Glitter makeup has truly transformed throughout the years and is now professionally formulated by some of the top makeup brands in the world: Stila, Mac, and more affordable makeup brands like Elf. Adding a touch of glitter for dance auditions, dance performances, and game days is no longer “tacky”, but a subtle/natural pop to your makeup look. Everything else on us is sparkling, so why not tie it all together with a subtle touch of glitter eye makeup?
When it comes to dance performance makeup, throwing in a bit of liquid glitter eyeshadow can make your eyes pop and creates a finishing touch to your stage makeup. The goal in the world of pro dance and cheer is to keep our makeup looks seemingly natural and subtle. Since we are dancing for hours at a time, it is also important to make sure that the eye glitter products we are using are light, high-quality, and long-lasting.

With that being said, it can be hard to know where to start in your search for the perfect eyeshadow glitter. First thing is first, liquid glitter eyeshadows are a more long-lasting choice for dancers than a loose powder mineral glitter eyeshadow.
Our favorite liquid glitter eyeshadows as professional dancers vary from Sephora and Ulta to Target and Amazon. Did we mention that some of our glitter eyeshadow faves start at just $5 a pop?
We have listed out the 3 best glitter eyeshadows for dance makeup that are 100% worth adding to your dance makeup bag and trying out for your next game day!
How to apply glitter eyeshadow for dance performances and game days:
Apply a small amount of liquid glitter eyeshadow to your hand and lightly dab your eyelid at the very end of your makeup routine. Gently blend with your finger tip. Avoid layering for a more natural and subtle makeup look.
