When it comes to the holidays, glitter is the ultimate way to make your look stand out. Now that I've said that, it's important to also understand that you can't go crazy with the sparkles or you'll wind up looking more like a disco ball and less like a classy partygoer. Here are some tips to help you use glitter so that it looks fabulous, no matter what holiday you're celebrating.
1 Try Eyeliner
The great thing about glittery eyeliner is that it lets you sparkle for the holidays, but it's not too over the top. Cover your eyeliner with a bit of glitter and you'll stand out in the best way. It's really fun to layer it over a winged eyeliner look, but go ahead and experiment to figure out what you love best.
