If you are someone
who likes to add a touch of extra oomph to your makeup looks
then you definitely can’t go wrong with glitter.
The go-to beauty must-have for festivals or holidays,
glitter makeup looks are a trend
that never went out of style.
Here we bring to you 3 easy ways
to incorporate shimmer into your look.
Wearing glitter on the eyes is one of the easiest
and most doable trends to follow.
This simple glitter cut crease look
is easy to rock and will last all day.
Begin with prepping your eyes with some concealer
and set it with a powder.
Add a medium brown shade to the crease
and blend it well with a fluffy brush.
Then, grab a pencil brush
and apply a darker shade of brown to your crease
and then go in with a black eyeshadow
to add a touch of drama and some more definition.
The next step is to carve out your eyelid
with some concealer
before going in with a metallic eyeliner.
Sketch out a thick line from the inner corner of your eye,
outwards, to create a dramatic wing.
Once you’ve created a beautiful wing,
clean up the edges with a bit of concealer.
Tightline the lower and upper water line
to open up your eyes and define the look.
A great way to embrace glitter,
this look is easy to apply
and a subtle nod to the sparkle trend.
Loose pigments are great for multi-purpose use
when it comes to makeup.
From adding glamour to your eyes
or shimmer to your lips,
their versatility is incredible.
On your mixing palette,
take a pump or two of your favourite liquid foundation.
Add a liberal amount of the shimmery pigment
and mix it well
before applying it to your face as you normally would.

Unleash your inner diva this festive season
with an edgy and dramatic cat-eye
that’ll surely make heads turn.
Start by prepping the eyes
with a concealer or foundation
and make sure to cover the inner corners
to get rid of any darkness.
Set it with a powder and pack on a nude eyeshadow
on the entire eyelid
while concentrating it in the centre.
Take a green kajal pencil
and draw the outline of a wing
in the outer corner using a light hand.
Blend the colour outwards before it dries up,
following the shape of that wing.
Use the same kajal pencil
and sharpen the line towards the bottom lash line,
smudging it heavily for a dramatic look.
Next, take a deep teal eyeshadow
and work it into the corners and the bottom lash line.
Grab a lighter green colour
and using the same brush,
blend it into the corners to add dimension.
Line the bottom waterline with your kajal pencil,
along the line of the eyeshadow
and follow the same process on top,
smudging it ever so slightly.
Add a champagne white highlighting powder
to the arch of the brow for a subtle glow.
Curl your lashes before you apply any falsies
and go in with a heavy coat of mascara.
Now, dampen your brush
before dipping it into a glitter pigment
to intensify the shade and keep it from moving.
Finish off your base makeup,
add a touch of bronzer on the cheekbones
and put on a nude lip.
Choosing the right colours
and blending them well
will give you a look that may have seemed like a task
but is actually quite easy to achieve.
This iconic 80’s and 90’s trend

will make embracing shimmer a little bit easier for you.
