What you will need are various rhinestones, eyeliner - in different colours, glitter etc. Aluminium foil , glue and eyelash glue!
You can get each product you need for making your own bindis very easily. Most of them can be bought in a local beauty shop. You can look up for rhinestones and glitter at the nail care section.
Instructions:
Cut aluminium foil into a small shape. Pick any shape you like or the shape that matches your face structure. Stick some glitter and/or rhinestones on the foil as you like. Be creative and try your best. For this step use the glue or eyelash glue, both are fine. With eyeliners of different colours you can colour the foil as well. If your rhinestones are transparent, this is how you can make them look colourful. Once you are done with your bindi, stick it between your eyebrows or slightly above by using the eyelash glue! Be careful not to use any other glue which is toxic and can damage your skin.
You can also use your eyeliners to make small dots or some other small shapes around your bindi or above your eyebrows.
If you are just too lazy to make a whole bindi or you are not as creative, you can use only eyeliner to draw a dot, tear or any other shape you like. Moreover, put the eyelash glue directly on a rhinestone and stick it as a bindi. Traditionally bindis were just a colour between eyebrows anyways and even today people will have bindis of such type on festive occasions.
