For added sparkle, shimmer and shine try some face or body glitter. This will make you the shining star at your next party or event.
There are formulations made for the face and body, and it is best to use them as specified. Do not use body formulations on your face, and it is especially important to use only the face glitter around the eye area.
When you are selecting your glitter color, take a look at the overall palette of your makeup, and then choose a complimentary shade of shine. Gold glitter will look awesome on a warmer complexion color, while silver will shine best on a cool complexion. Other colors of glitter should be in sync with your makeup and clothing color.
Your glitter should be applied to the face after your makeup is done. Put a small amount of product on your finger and dab gently near the corner of the eyes, over the lash tips or under the brow arch. If you prefer to highlight your cheekbones, a small dab of glitter can do the job.
Body glitter can be in the form of a lotion, powder or gel. Before applying any glitter to your body, make sure you are fully dressed. Take note of your exposed skin. Think about your chest, feet, arms, back and legs. Decide where you want your shimmer. For the lotion application, rub a small amount between your two hands and apply to the desired area. Apply your powder glitter with a brush, and be careful not to get it on your clothes. Gel formulations can be dabbed on or applied the same way as the glittery lotion.
If you need help with application to hard to reach areas, like your back, make sure you have someone there to help you. HINT: Wash your hands when you are finished.
As we often mention here on the blog, don't over do it. Unless you are going for a very theatrical look, strategically placed glitter in the right places will make you shine brightest!
