Glitter is one of the easiest ways to add glam to any look, whether it be make up or clothing. When it comes to make up you need to decide how much sparkle you want. This will determine the product you choose. For extremely glittery eyes I would use a product with large glitter particles like Sephora Glitter Eyeliner. The glitter is suspended in a clear gel which adheres to the eyes easily. For a more subtle look glitter pencils are a better choice like the ones from NARS. My favourite is MAC Reflects Gold. Reflects glitter has very small particles so the texture is super smooth — the effect is a more sophisticated glitter look. Stay tuned for glitter application techniques…
