Glitter in the Air
Glitter in the Air by bloggablegirl featuring a black eye shadow
I love glittery effects in makeup and nails as long as they are understated and elegant. I usually go for pastels, nude and pinkish tones because there is a fine line between glamorous and circus-like when it comes to glitter. I think the key is in the right application of the products.
Here are a few useful tips from Vogue in how to apply beauty glitter.
"Get the look by covering your lids in glitter shadow with a slightly damp makeup brush, and layer until you reach the desired level of sparkle. Rim your eyes with a sparkly eye liner, and finish with a bold coat of mascara. Take a cue from the runways by leaving the rest of your face understated—a bold bedazzled eye looks impossibly fresh with a touch a lip balm and little else. To make this look classroom-approved, a little glitter on your lids will add instant glam—even if you're just wearing jeans and a tee. Trust us; you'll leave everyone starry-eyed." by Carly Wallace and Casey Lewis
