W ith the festive season fast approaching, many beauty companies have started introducing their holiday collection for you, the party goers. This season’s trend is gearing towards shimmer and glimmer and anyone can wear that if they keep to some easy pointers. For example, if you are going to wear shimmer eyeshadow, you should keep the rest of your face to a minimal. Same goes with, if you apply glimmering lip gloss, your eyes should be kept matte.
Here’s another tip: While everyone can wear shimmer, older women should be careful to not overdo it as shimmer actually highlight fine lines around the eyes. So, if you have crow’s feet, you may want to avoid metallic makeup. You can get away with shimmer powder at the center of your lips, regardless of your age.
Younger women in their twenties and early thirties can simply get away with shimmery makeup. Pick the most vibrant of colours like, metallic makeup, as you can go all out with it.
One trend is the ethereal look where shimmer powder is used all over the face, to give a seemingly lit, glowing sheen. That look is absolutely apt for a party if you like the spotlight on you.
Alternatively, the smoky eye look using a bright metallic colour is very in right now. Choose a metallic eyeshadow colour like gold or silver. But first, line your eyes with an eyeliner and gently smudge the line. Then, apply the eyeshadow over the line. Keep lips matte or choose a light peach shade lip colour. If you decide to go glimmer with your lips, try using a shimmery lipgloss over your favourite lip shade. And remember the rule: go easy with your eyes since your lips are shiny.
Here are some must-haves you can use to achieve your ultimate party look.
