Shine on...

A lot of fun, sparkle and some great cheer — glitter up.

Face: This is one of the trickiest aspect of applying glitter. Apply a spot of petroleum jelly on your finger tips and gently pat it on the area you would like to apply glitter. Then, take a clean eye-shadow brush and dip it into the glitter, dust off the excess glitter gently and then dab it on to the cheeks. Manish Modi, make-up artist says, “Don’t add too much glitter, as it will end up looking tacky. Also, carrying glitter on your cheekbones requires a lot of attitude, unless you are confident about yourself, don’t bother.”

Eyes: If you want to apply body glitter to the eyelids or beneath the eyes, make sure you are using a product that is specifically made for this purpose. Shraddha Maik, make-up artist says, “It’s best to choose a glitter that is either found within an eyeshadow or that comes in a clear or coloured gel or cream. Loose glitter may be harder to apply, making it more likely to get in your eyes. Apply body glitter to the eye area, being careful to avoid the lower lid and ducts.” However, if any glitter gets into your eyes, flush with warm water until all glitter particles are removed.

Lips: Clint Fernandes make-up artist says, “Apply a dust of pearl glitter or any of the light pink tones after applying lipstick or gloss on the lips. Customise a clear or tinted gloss by adding a sprinkling of your favourite glitter and mixing it right in. Your lips will look beautiful and sexy.”
