Glitter make-up: This is how the trend can be worn perfectly without looking "too much".

Singers and trendsetters such as Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga and Rita Ora demonstrate it with their glitter make-up on the red carpet and prove that the beauty trend creates real eye-catchers. But how do you create extravagant glitter looks that are suitable for everyday use? If you are looking for inspiration for your next beauty winter look and are wondering what you should consider, then you will find it here. These are our five top tips for glitter makeup. You can also find the best glitter makeup products to shop for below!

1. Beauty tip: cream eyeshadow or liquid glitter eyeshadow

Have you not dared to try sparkling eye make-up too often? No problem, because with a creamy eyeshadow with glitter particles you can apply it easily. Liquid glitter eyeshadow is also a good way to try out this beauty trend. Due to the liquid consistency, the glitter stays in place for a long time and does not smudge so quickly. Another way to show off your eyes is with glitter eyeliner or kajal. For those who prefer it subtle, it is advisable to make up the eyes with the usual eyeshadow and only apply a thin layer of glitter eyeshadow on the lid. A touch of glitter is guaranteed not "too much" and yet you are guaranteed to draw everyone's attention! If you like it unusual, you can let off steam with loose glitter powder. It is best to apply a primer beforehand so that the sparkling particles adhere nicely to the lid. This make-up trend is particularly stylish if you set accents with glitter in the inner or outer corner of the lid.

2. Beauty tip: glitter lipstick

Especially if you keep the rest of your make-up simple, glitter lipstick can work wonders and give your look that certain something. Lipsticks that already contain glitter can either be applied directly to the lips or layered over your regular lipstick for additional sparkling highlights. The rest of your make-up can be minimalistic, after all, your lips will be particularly highlighted with this winter beauty trend due to the glitter.

3. Beauty tip: Less glitter is more

The question of "how" arises above all when it comes to applying glitter powder or glitter eyeshadow. Basically, it is better to first pick up a few glitter particles with your powder brush or eyeshadow brush. Because once you have applied too much shimmering products, it is not so easy to remove the excess glitter again.

Therefore, the rule of thumb also applies: apply eye glitter make-up first, then the rest of the make-up for your face. After all, you don't want to ruin your perfectly applied makeup with an extra dose of too much glitter. You can remedy this by tapping off the make-up brush before applying it so that excess glitter particles don't end up on your eyelids or face in the first place.

4. Beauty tip: Pay attention to precision when applying eye make-up

Glitter can often quickly look like "too much" on the eyes. A primer will help ensure the glitter stays where it's supposed to and doesn't smudge far beyond the lid.

Another insider tip to avoid glitter blunders: Simply place a paper handkerchief under your eyes when applying make-up to catch excess particles. Or even more efficient: using eye patches. In this way you care for your eyes at the same time and ensure that the rest of your face remains free of glitter.

5. Beauty tip: choose velvety nuances

The right shade is very important for glitter products. Especially when it comes to shimmering powder. Beauty experts recommend slightly sparkling nuances with velvety undertones to create an elegant and clean, yet trendy look. When it comes to body glitter, the same applies here: less is more. Accents along the collarbone promise subtle highlights that complement and emphasize the rest of your (glitter) make-up.
