Add some jewels to your eyes with these stunning makeup looks

When standard makeup isn't enough, what's a beauty to do? Get creative the next time you get glammed up by using self-adhesive rhinestones. These miniature gems attract light to your eyes and sparkle far brighter than any shimmer shadow ever could.
Pairing gemstones with jewel-toned eye shadow will help you achieve a cohesive look. Before applying self-adhesive gems, make sure your skin is completely dry, so they stick. Cream-based products such as moisturizer can reduce adhesion. For extra hold, use lash adhesive.

Jewels with pink
Pink is big again, and it's incredibly wearable. Stick to warm, shimmery shades on your lid. Amp up the crease with a bold shade of peachy pink, and set pastel-hued rhinestones at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock.

Jewels with blue
Rock a peacock-blue look with a bejeweled crease. Darken the outer corner of your lid and lower lash line, and intensify your inner eye with champagne shimmer shadow.

Jewels with purple
Skip the liner, and use purple eye shadow and accompanying gems to give your eye dimension. Apply neutral shadow to your entire eye, and intensify the outer corner and lower lash line with amethyst shadow. Strategically placed purple gems simulate the missing wing.

Jewels with gold
For a subtle but elegant look, go for a gilded lid. Golden shimmer shadow brightens up the inner eye, and a golden quartet of mini gems replaces the traditional crease color.
