Rhinestone makeup is everywhere, and we can’t think of a better way to light up your eyes for spring. From gleaming cat-eyes to delicate pearl embellishments scattered all over the lids, craft-store gemstones are the beauty products you probably didn’t realize were missing from your makeup routine. Keep reading for our favorite 3D eye makeup ideas from Instagram.

Icy Blue Shimmer

This blue-and-purple eyeshadow pairing is ethereal enough on its own, but the structured winged shape embellished with rhinestones elevates the look to a new level of glam. For a similar duochrome finish on your lids, try packing on the Static shade from the Urban Decay Naked Cyber Eyeshadow Palette.

Purple Cut Crease

If purple is the color of royalty, then adding rhinestones to a violet eyeshadow look is the epitome of opulence. Double-winged liner on the lower lash line gives you a wide-awake, doe-eyed effect.

Pearly Flares

Bold lashes, soap brows and rosy lips are the perfect complement to these dainty pearl embellishments. To recreate the look, dot eyelash glue where you want to place your pearls, then apply each gem with a pair of tweezers. These pearls from Amazon come in four sizes for a custom look.

Neutral Glam

A neutral smoky eye is classic — add some fun by applying a floating line of rhinestones above the crease.

Rhinestone Winged Liner

This white eyeliner-and-rhinestone look has been taking the Internet by storm, and it’s not hard to see why. Paired with neutral shadow and long, spidery lashes, it’s soft enough for everyday wear.

Gilded Green

@habi_limo’s Instagram page is a treasure chest of embellished eye makeup looks, including this stunning emerald-studded beat. A smoked-out lower lash line and a ’90s-inspired brown lip give gemstones a grunge vibe.
