The festive season is here, and it’s time to let your makeup shine as bright as the holiday lights. Glitter eyeshadow is a go-to for adding sparkle and elegance to any look, whether you’re heading to a Christmas party or celebrating New Year’s Eve. Here’s a guide to five fabulous ways you can rock glitter eyeshadow this season:
- Subtle Inner Corner Pop
For a hint of sparkle, add glitter to the inner corners of your eyes. This simple touch brightens your gaze and adds a festive flair without being overpowering. Use a small, precise brush or your fingertip to apply the glitter. Pair it with neutral eye makeup for a soft, radiant look that works for any occasion.
- Classic Glitter Eyeliner
A thin line of glitter eyeliner can transform your eye makeup into something festive and eye-catching. Apply it along your upper lash line for a clean, defined sparkle. This works well with simple eyeshadow or even bare lids. To ensure the glitter stays in place, use a liquid or gel-based liner.
- All-Over Glitter Lid
For a bold, festive statement, try an all-over glitter lid. Pat glitter over your eyelids using a glitter
primer to keep it in place. You can layer it over a matching eyeshadow for a softer look or go straight for the glitter for maximum impact. Keep the rest of your makeup understated to let your eyes take centre stage.
- Glitter Cut Crease
The glitter cut crease is perfect for adding structure and drama to your makeup. Use matte shadows to define the crease, then apply glitter to the lid below the crease line. The contrast creates a sharp, striking effect that’s ideal for evening celebrations. Pair it with a well-blended outer corner for balance.
- Smoky Glitter Eye
Elevate the classic smoky eye by incorporating glitter. Blend darker shadows across your lids and finish with a touch of glitter on the center or along the lower lash line. This combination adds depth and dimension while keeping the look festive and glamorous.
This festive season, let your makeup sparkle as brightly as the celebrations. Whether you prefer subtle accents or bold, glitter-packed lids, there’s a look here to inspire you. Remember to ditch the plastic glitter for eco-friendly glitter, so you can sparkle sustainably!
