Shimmer this summer with the right makeup

q:How do you wear shimmery makeup without it looking stupid? Whenever I try I feel really ott so I end up taking it off. I really like the way it looks on other people though! Have you got any tips you can share with me, pretty please???

a:Twinkling like a star can be a real show stopper, but it’s not right for every occasion, and getting it right can be a little tricky.

The reason you feel over the top is because it’s a makeup look that is over the top! If you’re a ‘less-is-more’ kind of girl, chances are you’re never going to feel comfortable with your eyes sparkling in the moonlight. If you want to have some fun, and stand out in the crowd though - this is certainly a great way to go about it!

The party season calls for a little extra glamour, so now is the perfect time to embrace the glittery goddess within. That doesn’t mean you have to sparkle from head to toe. A subtle addition, like a shimmering bronzer or flashy nails, can provide the perfect amount of drama. Here are some suggestions..  

Sugar BabyLuminous Skin
Shimmer powders are a quick glamour fix. Just dust a small amount onto your cheek and brow bones as a finishing touch to your makeup.

Try: SugarBaby Bronze Goddess powder and Puff, $24.99

L'Oreal

High Shine Lips

A cute sparkly lipstick finished with a super shiny gloss will really make a statement, but make sure you keep the rest of your makeup soft and simple.

Try: L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Gelee Lipstick, $21.99



Jeweled Eyes

Two tone glittery shadow is the ultimate party look. Apply one shade along your top lash line and a contrasting shade on the botttom. Be sure to blend the two shades where they meet for a seamless finish.

Nars

Try: Nars Single Eyeshadow in Tropic, $62.00 and Smashbox Single Eyeshadow in Minx, $36.00

Orly
Glitzy Nails
If bold makeup scares you, your nails are the perfect place to test the water. Have some fun with ultra glittery nails and make a subtle makeup statement.

Try: ORLY limited edition sparkle kit, $29.99
