The Holidays!! Your time to SHINE!! Glitter, sparkle, & slow with these tricks!


Instructions





Things You'll Need

  • White glitter eyeshadow (*a MUST to have!)
  • Glitter lip gloss
  • Lip liner pencil
  • Clear lip gloss

      Keep your glitter to a minimum to wear a classy glamorous look. Apply your makeup as usual and then lightly dust either gold or silver glitter dusting powder on top, a technique that is particularly stunning over dark shadows, such as hunter green and deep purple.

      Create highlights with glitter dusting powder that is made from soft powders with extremely fine glitter. Highlighting powder can be applied anywhere on the body where light naturally falls, such as the cheeks, brow ridges, forehead, chest, breasts and even the shoulders and arms.

      Go for a glamorous high fashion glitter look, wearing bold colors in sharp lines like top models on a catwalk. Choose a strong glitter shadow, such as turquoise, purple or green. Cover the eyelids beginning at the lash line and working just beyond the corner of the eye and just above the crease. Make sure that your lines are perfectly formed and do not blend.

      Get a soft glamorous glitter look by using white glitter eyeshadow and applying to the brow ridge and under the lower lashes. This chic baby-doll look is perfect for pale skin tones and adds depth to the eyes.

      Love your lips with glitter as well. You can use glitter lip gloss, found in just about any shade you like, or get a layered look. To layer your glitter, apply an even coat of lip liner to you lips and then apply a bit of glitter powder or glitter eyeshadow. Seal with a clear lip gloss.

      REMEMBER! Have fun and little goes a LONG way, it is much easier to ADD and layer than to fix!! 


      READY, SET, SHINE!!!
