How To: Wear glittery makeup on New Year's Eve (without going overboard)

Check these out, too...

You want to be festive at that New Year’s Eve party, and all of the glitter makeup in Sephora keeps drawing you in! But how can you wear glitter without looking like you’re in costume? We’ve got the hottest ways to add a bit of sparkle to your look and still keep it classy.
 
Nail it. Nail glitter is probably the easiest way to add a little sparkle into your outfit. You can layer multicolored glitter polish over shades you already have, or choose a colored polish that has glitter in it. You can also buy loose nail glitter at Sephora, but it’s a little more complicated if you don’t have much experience with nail art.

Use just a swipe. We love glitter liner, especially at parties, so layer it over your other eye makeup for a festive effect! It’s okay to use more than one stroke, but don’t wear glittery shadow, or you might blind people with your shimmer.

Try a shimmer blush. Some blush and bronzer colors have shimmer flecks pressed into them, so you’ll add a natural sparkle to your glow. You can also try an allover color stick on your cheeks, eyes, and lips for a shimmer that’s consistent to your entire face.
 
 
E.L.F. Essential All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade, $1, eyeslipsface.com


Go for a shiny lipgloss. Lipstick is great for looking professional, but New Year’s is the time to party, so go all out with a flirty gloss! If you choose a fun, bright color like pink or purple, be sure to keep your eye makeup neutral.

Hey stuff_lover, that dress sounds really cute! You could wear a cute black heel with your hair in a sleek ponytail with black eyeliner, light eyeshadow and pink gloss. Or you could pair colorful shoes, like pink or blue with the dress, still keep the lack eyeliner and wear your hair down. Hope this helps and have fun!

I have been thinking about trying a glittery eye liner for a while. For NYE, I'm probably going to just do my shimmery browns pallette which is from Covergirl and it's not too shimmery it just looks kinda shiny. It's natural so that means I can go a little more dramatic on other makeup. Anyway, Black liner(maybe blue or green), my blush which is kinda shimmery which I luv(it's from wet n wild and it makes my skin glow!), and maybe a lip gloss the color of the one in the article. For nails, black shimmery nail polish with a multi-colored glitter top coat. Nails is the only place I really go big and bold when it comes to makeup.

Sephora also has great dry glitter liners by Urban Decay. I like the gray and the brown cuz they aren't too eye-popping so they're perf for parties and school. They're $18.00 + tax
