If red lipstick is the reigning makeup product of choice for the holidays, glitter makeup comes in at a very close second. Sure, it can be messy and sometimes difficult to apply, but the end results are usually well worth the work and frustration it took to get there.
Plus, when our day-to-day schedules extend into gift exchanges with friends and gatherings with friends and family, it’s guaranteed that a camera will be in close proximity. In short: we want to be impossibly fresh-looking and Instagram-ready for surprise shots and organized group shots.

And though we realize that for some, getting all gussied up isn’t necessary for moments like these, we’re taking a moment to inspire those that feel otherwise and want to literally shine and shimmer. This year in particular has been a notable one for shimmer and glitter makeup, whether it’s Pat McGrath’s deeply-pigmented eyeshadow palettes, one of Bite Beauty’s astrology-inspired lipsticks or Fenty Beauty’s frosted holiday collection.
Minimalism is just as popular, but now it seems we have more choices than ever. We can keep it low-key and go bold, with plenty of options for both and everything in between. What remains is deciding exactly how to utilize these products, because while glitter and shimmer are standouts on their own, they can be manipulated to create more subtle looks as well.
