Keep reading to find out more about this glamorous makeup style!
As eyeshadow
The simplest way you can incorporate glittery makeup into your look is to just use it as eyeshadow! We are in love with bold, glittery eyeshadow in all shades and pigments – since it’s the festive season, you can’t go wrong with gold or silver glitter eyeshadow! Don’t forget to prime your eyelids before popping on the glitter to ensure that the glitter stays on all day (or night).
As eyeliner
Another easy glitter tip is to use glittery eyeliner! Although a winged black eyeliner look is definitely a classic, why not spice things up a bit by using glitter eyeliner instead? What’s even better is that you can even create graphic eyeliner looks with it! There are a wide variety of different colours you can choose from and eyeliner designs you can do, so feel free to dazzle yourself with a glittery eyeliner look.
Glitter cut crease
If you haven’t been seeing this makeup trend on your social media lately, where have you been? The glitter cut crease makeup trend has been circulating on the likes of TikTok, a glacial look that’s perfect for the festive season. Particularly, this look uses glitter eyeliner to make a cut crease over a neutral eyeshadow base and a subtle eyeliner flick, creating a soft glam look that’ll have you looking like a snow angel.
Finish the look off by adding shimmer on the inner corner of the eye, as well as around the wing of your eyeliner. Maybe even dab a little on your eyelids just for extra effect.
Accentuating the high points of your face
It can’t get any better than this – glittery highlight! Add a glittery highlight to the high points of your face which include your cheekbones, nose bridge, nose tip, and just under the brow bone. This can help to truly enhance these areas of your face, allowing your beautiful face to emanate a gorgeous glow. You can also opt to dab a little on your cupid’s bow! A glittery highlight is certainly iconic which is why you definitely need to start incorporating it into your makeup looks.
Make your lip gloss pop
Did you know that glittery lip gloss is a thing? Well, now you do, and we suggest that you purchase one ASAP! Normal lip gloss is cute, but if you’re starting to get bored of it, glittery lip gloss is the best alternative out there. The glitter specks are usually subtle, but this only adds to their appeal.
Shimmery blush
Of course, a glittery blush look is a timeless makeup style that you should be taking advantage of since glitter makeup is trending. If you do opt for this look, we recommend swiping the blush gently across cheekbone to cheekbone – not the apples of your cheeks!
And there you have it – just a few ways you can sparkle and shine but in a sleek modern way.
