life and excitement to a holiday party.Shimmer must be used carefully and appropriately. The older you are, the more wrinkles you will have on your face (Botox aside). And the more wrinkles you have, the more places that shimmer can get caught. Some make-up has a lot of shimmer, but some has a more subtle shimmer. Decide how much you want to shine, and choose your products from there.
If you decide you want your eyes to shine, MAC has a more subtle shine to their eye shadows, and Stila has great high-shimmer shadows. Revlon's Diamond Lust line also have some great shimmery eye shadows. An all over shimmer on your lid is a fun and easy look, but you can deepen and intensify the look by rubbing a darker shimmer on the inside of your lid. Worried about your make-up creasing? Try MAC Paints. They come in a variety of skin tones and last virtually forever. The formula is designed to go across your eyelid and create a base for the shadow to stick to. It’s not foolproof, but it can help.
Lips can also shine with a high-gloss formula. For a show-stopping lip, put a shiny lip gloss on top of your lipstick.
If you want a more subtle shimmer, a face highlighter may be all you need to glow. My favorites are MAC Glimmershimmer and Origins Halo Effect. You can use these products in a variety of places on your face. For an all-over shimmer, use the product to highlight your cheekbones and eyes. You won’t need a lot of product; a little of these go a long way. Highlight your cheekbones by dabbing some of the product along the tops of your cheeks beginning at the apples of your cheeks and ending at your temple. Rubbed in enough, this will just create a bit of extra glow to your cheekbones. Running your finger along the bottom of your eyebrow and tapping it on the inside corner of your eye will also create a perfect shimmer and an instant lift to your eyes.
Armed with these handy tips, you are sure to shine at any holiday party.
