Five Irresistible Glitter Pigments That Will (Literally) Make You Glow

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at NYU chapter.

Iridescence and a shiny, prominent glow is a trending makeup style now, with people putting glitter products all over their faces and bodies. Glitter as a makeup product has now moved from only being used during special occasions and festivals to an everyday pop of color to one’s basic look. Here are some striking options to add a twist to your own makeup routine.

 

1. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Poe

Whenever you’re running late and don’t have time for a full makeup routine, you can add a bold lip to brighten your look. Most people wouldn’t think of lipstick as a ‘glitter’ option, however this Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Poe blends glitter with a matte texture to create a strobe effect on your lips. The shimmery navy formula will stay on for hours and is not too intense for an everyday choice!

 

 

2. MAC Studio Eye Gloss in Spank Me

Can’t decide which color to go with? MAC Studio Eye Gloss in Spank Me provides a holographic shimmer effect– meaning it blends all the colors of the rainbow together– in just one shadow! Apply with ring finger for the best result.

 

3. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Liquid Liner in Baltic Blue Sparkle

Sparkly liner is a great, simple option to add glitter to one’s look. A simple winged liner paired with a bold lip will give you a full perfect face, with just a hint of glitter.  The gel liner is long-lasting and waterproof, which makes it a favorite under harsh weather conditions.

 

 

4. STILA Liquid Eyeshadow

Probably one of the most renowned and go-to glitter products, STILA’s Liquid Eyeshadow provides a highly pigmented shadow with an effortless glide application and almost no creases or fallout. For a limited time only, you can find a set of six eyeshadows at Sephora, in the Eye For Elegance Liquid Shadow Set.

 

5. FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette

Everyone is raving about Rihanna’s new FENTY beauty line, specifically her Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette. Since the palette contains over fourteen different shades you can work with the colors and blend them together to create a highly pigmented and beautiful glow! Get yours before they sell out!
