9 Products That Prove Glitter Makeup Is For Grown-ups, Too
Definitely not body glitter from Limited Too
If you’re a child of the ’90s, chances are you spent a good chunk of your younger years saving up your allowance to ball out on body glitter from Limited Too. Though we’re sure the end results were never really a pretty sight, we’ve since been dreaming of the day we can once again revel in a face full of glitter. Finally, that day has come.
If we learned anything from the fall 2016 runways, it’s that a glitter revolution is on the rise. And while it may be slightly more mature and refined this time, it’s still really fun. From subtly sparkly liner to actual loose glitter replacing highlighter, it was definitely one of the more eye-catching beauty moments during last fashion month.
We rounded up nine glitter products—from its purest form to micro-glittered lipsticks and nail polish—that prove glitter just isn’t for kids. The following are ideal for anyone trying to get their fix of a little grown-up glitz, whether you’re daring enough to go for glitter roots or simply want an added twinkle in your eye.
