For the holiday season, try these three glitter eye shadow variants

You can wear glitter eyeshadow in a totally trendy way…

We automatically associate sequins with the holiday season when we hear the word. We have some exciting news for you: Tik Tok and the makeup artists on the shows say glitter eyeshadow will be with us through 2023, whether that is in liquid, cream, or powder form.

The star of 2023 will be glitter eyeshadow

Stars are leading by example, whether it’s Rita Ora , who sported ultra glittery eyes in gold tones at the MTV Awards, or Olivia Wilde , who showed up to Variety with graphic eyeliner and an iridescent star pattern. Her makeup artist, Wendy Rowe , created the perfect mix with evocations of ’90s David Bowie and Kate Moss.

If the starry eye seems a bit excessive to you, here are the three trends to experiment between Christmas, New Year’s Day and more if you feel like it.

Cut the crease with glitter

Searches for the exclusive glittery holiday cut crease have already surpassed 4 million views on Tik Tok. This winning combination of classic eye makeup and iridescent glitter was created by user @jellybean_xxdd. The tiktokeuse replaces the classic black line along the eyelid with a transparent glitter line.

What’s his secret? Multi-layer technique: she first applies pink eyeshadow, well blended around the eyes, then traces a very light cat’s eye with a black pencil and adds a pinch of almost imperceptible glittery eyeshadow. Finally, she applies liquid eyeliner, snow white, in several steps.

The diamond crumbles

MAC Cosmetics imagined it inspired by its must-have product of the same name. Basically, it’s about creating icy, not just silver, frosty eyelids, like those seen in the 2000s on Britney Spears , Christiana Aguilera , and Paris Hilton .. The trend is more contemporary thanks to very subtle metallic and pastel effects, which allow you to create layers at will around the eyes. Let’s take an example: create light splashes of color, first pink, then light blue and finally silver or yellow. The iridescent reflection illuminates the eye contour, but also, if desired, the cheekbones. The make-up team recommends using liquid eye shadows, so that they can be blended and customized as desired. The important thing being that the texture is metallic and chrome.

Glitter blush all over the eyelid

Remember the name Mermaid Eyes: it will be the winning hashtag of 2023. Compared to previous years, where the mermaid’s eye reigned supreme, here we play more on an additional iridescent reflection. It is built around the eye, to give the face the look of real creatures of the night. The watchword is: maximize! This is what Charlotte Tilbury reveals who, for a particularly successful party look, covered the entire eyelid with shades of very 1990s blue. The eyelid and under the eye. Simple and efficient.

How to wear glitter makeup in the middle of the day (when it’s neither Christmas nor New Year’s Day)?

What often prevents glitter eyeshadow from venturing into the daily routine, like in the office, is the fact that you can’t achieve a sophisticated and understated effect at the same time. But really, it’s enough to highlight the eyes, perhaps applying the eye shadow just once, without layering it, and adding just a light touch of bronzer to emphasize the natural shadows of the face. The idea was recently floated by Dua Lipa, proving that glitter eyeshadow knows no season. Make-up artist Shelby Smith created festive eyelids with multicolored and iridescent spots. She kept the eyelinerwhich made the singer famous, but sophisticated it with a glittering eyeshadow enhanced with rhinestones, with a very glamorous charm.
