DIY RAINBOW HIGHLIGHTER

I'm so excited! Success! I made my first DIY Rainbow Highlighter. 


These are the things you will need. 
91% alcohol
6 shimmer shadows in the colors of the rainbow
(I chose pink instead of red because I thought it might be a bit more natural)
                                               You can choose a palette (more crushing)
                                                     or Loose shadows (ready to mix)
A super shimmer powder
A light shimmery highlighter
Small cups (I cut disposable cups to a small size)
A metal spatula to crush and/or mix

I used an old LE Revlon highlighter I had.
I wanted a bigger one but I realized afterwards a small compact is better so you can get all the colors                                                       on the brush at the same time.

Crush highlighter and put equal parts in the 6 small cups
Put some super shimmer powder in equal amounts as well
Put the shadow in one for each cup
put drops of alcohol until its pasty (NOT liquidy)
Start with red(pink)
and end with purple (like a rainbow)
Let dry for 24 hours and voila!

But this doesnt work unless you have a flat top contour brush in an oval shape.
Regular facial brushes are too big and fluffy and dont grab the color well. 

Most brushes like this are like $40 I think I even saw one for $60
You can get one from China on Ebay for like $2 but you have to wait a month to get it.
My friend told me about the new Elf flat top brush.
Its available at Target and Target.com for $6.
