The Glitter Effect

“In shade Teal. This may have a metallic finish, but it also gives good glitter. Excellent on its own or used as a base eyeshadow to lock in other products on top. If you want a quick and easy rich metallic colour, then this is perfect for you.”

“In shade Cosmic Dancer – this is the product that gives the effect of polished, glass skin. It’s not sticky or glittery but creates an incredibly effortless sheen that makes skin feel luminous and expensive. Use on the top of your cheekbones, bridge of nose and cupid’s bow for an overall glow.’

“There’s a lot going on with the makeup look, so keep lips simply defined with a neutral lip pencil that’s just slightly deeper than your natural colour – try shade 02. I like to outline just the cupid’s bow and edge of the lower lip in the centre, keeping the edges free for a natural fullness.”

“Lashes for the person who can never get the hang of applying false lashes, these are so easy to do and last for days. With a featherlight band that sits underneath your natural lashes, when applied well, these are undetectable as falsies and are the next best thing to a salon lash extension.”

“This beautiful cream eyeshadow is seriously blendable and buildable. Dab a tiny bit in the centre of your eye before blending out with a soft brush or fingertip, it gives an immediate high-impact metallic finish and can also be layered to build up the shine.”

“I love the deep, warm tone of this Ilia golden eyeshadow stick in shade ‘Divine’. It applies like a dream – creamy yet easy to blend and sets once dry.”

“Brightening up your waterline with a light-toned pencil is a classic makeup artist’s trick, but have you tried it with silver? This pencilin shade ‘Euphoria Silver’ adds serious luminescence, framing the eye with silver to offset the gold underneath.”

“In shade 520. I love the technology within this creamy lip colour; it goes on pretty normally, but once dry, you can rub your lips together to reveal the glitter. Not as scary as it sounds, it has a subtly volumising effect and can be topped up with the clear gloss at the other end.”

“Delicate sheer glitter that’s both silver and gold for a multi-tonal sparkle, this mascara is beautifully subtle on its own and packs a punch when layered over regular mascara for added grip.”

“Shade Candy Dipp’d. In keeping with the lash topper, this liquid eyeshadow is glittery but sheer, so it can be built up according to how much sparkle you’d like. I like to apply it all around the lash line using the applicator and then blend it out with my fingertip. Once it’s set, it isn’t moving.”

“The trick to wearing glitter in an elevated way is to keep skin minimal with a satin finish. For this effect, I prefer to use concealer only where needed, and this Armani one gives a seamless blend with excellent coverage.”

“This light-toned neutral lip crayon in shade ‘Moon Rocket’ has a metallic pearl which highlights the contours of your lips whilst feeling comfortable and balmy.”
