10 Ways To Wear Glitter Eye Makeup for the Holidays

Friday December 7, 2012 by Alexandra C.

The holidays are a time for three things: eggnog, shopping and glitter. Coincidentally, those three things are also my favourites things of all time.

When it comes to glitter and the holidays, I think all rules go out the window. Want to do something dramatic and over the top? Girl, I support you. My go to holiday look this year will be a glitterfied cat eye. But a full lid of sparkle or even some inner corner glitter can also look amazing for a festive event!

Here are 10 glitter eye makeup ideas to inspire you:

I'm also loving this tutorial on an icy blue glitter look. While I'm not sure if I could pull it off, I think this look is gorgeous!

	on Dec 07, 2012 midnightsun2288 5,367 said: I think a lot of these are way over the top, but I like the one where it is blue-ish glitter underneath the eye, and I also like the one with burgundy and gold. I guess this means I need to start wearing my favorite gold eyeshadow again to get into the holiday spirit.
