6 Extra Glittery Looks For Shining Bright Like A Diamond

While we've had to break up with a few of our favorite middle school trends — we're looking at you, goopy lip glosses — a glam, glittery eye certainly isn't one of them. After all, sparkly makeup shouldn't just be for eighth-grade dances. When done right, a little shimmer can add a romantic twist to any look — even for those of us wellbeyond the days of homeroom and recess. And since a true classic never dies, we put together the following six ways to boldly rock a little glitter like an adult. Just because you have to pay rent doesn't mean you don't still want to shine.

Use the following looks as an excuse to get extra glittery — whether you're doing the whole lid, just a swipe of liner, or accentuating your brows. Find out how to get your glow on, ahead.

We're starting off with three extra sparkly looks — in case you were worried we'd reached peak gold makeup fever. We'll demo a full-body glitter technique, a starry brow, and a metallic eyeshadow technique perfect for any cozy fall occasion.

Go For The Gold

Step 1. Dip an angled liner brush into a cream pot of matte yellow liner. Then, trace a line along your crease, extending the wing outward.

Step 2. Apply a balm to lids (we like this one) to give the glitter something to grab. Pro Tip: For extra longevity, use eyelash glue.

Step 3. Using your fingers or a flat brush to dab on chunky gold glitter to your lids as desired.
