Back in 69 B.C. Cleopatra invented a glitter-like substance by crushing up beetles and wearing it across her eyelids. In the 1970’s, Cher revamped the glitter eyeshadow trend by making her eyes look as though they were literally disco balls. Since then, people have been bashing glitter eyeshadow.

As long as you don’t overdo it and get glitter all over your body, or even if you do, glitter eyeshadow is so much fun to wear and makes you feel unstoppable. I’m determined it’s coming back in style.

However, it turned out that tons of girls loved the glitter and I received so many compliments. I would have never gotten any of these compliments if I hadn’t stepped out of my comfort zone.
