Step 22

Erase the parts you don’t need from the selection, putting the layer in soft light. Then put the layer at 70% of opacity. Repeat this with the other eye. Also you can change the color of the glitter. I desatured this one a little bit.

Step 23

Remember to put some eyeshadow in the lower part of the eye. I used an intense dark blue and add some Gaussian blur. Also, the layer is in normal mode.

    I find a lot of your tutorials very very good. This one could have been good but it’s lazy. You have left out very important parts if the tutorial is to followed closely..And I do not understand why you would do this??
