9. Glitz and Glitter

Glitter and shimmer are the ultimate showstoppers on the red carpet, embraced by icons like Lizzo and Taylor Swift for sparkling eyes, dazzling highlights, and even metallic lips. To apply glitter safely, use a dedicated glitter glue or primer to keep loose pigments in place and minimize fallout.
Pressed glitter formulas are easier to control and ideal for beginners, while loose glitters offer maximum sparkle for bold looks. Always remove glitter gently to protect your skin. For application tips and creative ideas, explore Marie Claire’s guide to wearing glitter makeup.
