Sparkle and Shine: Glitter Makeup Ideas for New Year's Celebrations

Categories: New Year 2024

Adding some sparkle and shine to your makeup is the ideal way to celebrate the New Year. It's the ideal occasion to relax and have fun with it. Whether you want a traditional glam appearance or something more distinctive and bold, glitter makeup is a terrific way to add a festive touch to your outfit.

Here are a few ideas for glitter makeup looks that are perfect for New Year's Eve:

Sparkly Eyes

✦All-over glitter eyeshadow: 

Use glitter makeup all over your lids for a striking and glitzy appearance. To help the glitter stick and keep it out of your eyes, make sure you use a primer beforehand. Although there are many colours to pick from, gold, silver, and bronze are usually well-liked options for New Year's Eve.

✦Glitter eyeliner: 

Try using glitter eyeliner if you want to add a little sparkle without going too dramatic. You can simply add a wing to your outside corner or line your upper and lower lash lines.

✦Glitter cut crease: 

One excellent approach to draw attention to your eyes is using a glitter cut crease. Applying a matte eyeshadow to your crease is the first step in creating a cut crease. Next, draw a straight line just above your crease using lighter eyeshadow or concealer. Lastly, coat the lid with your glitter eyeshadow.

Sparkly Cheeks

✦Glitter highlighter: 

Try applying a glitter highlighter to your cheeks to give them more shine. Apply it on your face's high points, which include your nasal bridge, eyebrows, and cheekbones.

✦Glitter blush: 

Consider adding a glitter blush to give your cheekbones a splash of colour. Blend it out towards your temples after applying it to the apples of your cheeks.

Sparkly Lips

✦Glitter lipstick: 

Applying glitter lipstick to your lips is a wonderful technique to make them seem festive. You can apply it directly to your lips or, for greater control, use a lip brush.

✦Glitter lip gloss: 

Try applying a glitter lip gloss over a matte lipstick or on its own for a more subdued shimmer.

Other Ideas

✦Glitter body makeup: 

Try using glitter body makeup if you really want to go all out. You can use it on your legs, décolletage, and shoulders.

✦Glitter nails: 

An enjoyable and festive approach to finish off your New Year's Eve appearance is with glitter nails. You can use glitter nail paint or a toothpick or tiny brush to add glitter to your nails.

Regardless of the glitter makeup style you decide on, use a setting spray to help it remain in place throughout the evening.

Here are a few additional tips for applying glitter makeup:

❍Start with a clean, dry face.

❍ To help the glitter stick and keep it out of your eyes, apply a primer.

❍Use a light touch when applying glitter. A little goes a long way.

❍ Make sure to thoroughly mix any glitter eyeshadow you use into the other colours on your lid.

❍ Make sure to line your lash line as close to the root of your lashes as feasible if you're using glitter eyeliner.

❍To apply glitter to your cheeks, use a light dusting motion.

❍ Use a lip brush or your fingers to apply glitter directly to your lips.

❍ Use a setting spray to complete your look and ensure that it stays in place all night.
