Glitter + light, the beauty combo queen of New Year’s Eve

Pinterest decreed it: in 2022 we will see a real ode to jewelery, even in the beauty field. In the wake of the return to an ecstatic 2000s, rhinestones, sequins and glitter invade the body. From grillz to eyelid crystals, Generation Z takes the bling bling trend to the next level. And the Stylight platform confirms the trend: in November the Crystal Face Jewels Set of Color Pop Individual achieved + 100% clicks over the previous month.

And if, therefore, what is coming promises to be a particularly brilliant year, how could we not spark the sparks in the period in which sparks have always been made, that is, the end of December? Letting ourselves be inspired by catwalks and TV series (among all Euphoria, whose second, expected, season, is available from 10 January on Sky and which we loved precisely for the hyper bling beauty looks, the work of make-up artist Doniella Davy), we just have to leave the comfort zone e fill face, nails and body (including private parts, yes) with sparkling waterfalls, according to the level of light you want to give.

Discreet glitter

To enhance the glow, it is necessary to invest the base with light, so green light for effective skincare glow, as advises Amanda Bell, PIXI Global Director of Education and Artistry who also suggests a balanced glow make-up, for those who want to dare but not overdo it: “I suggest starting with eye patches and a smart face mask, to prepare the skin for make-up. Then apply a primer that perfects the complexion for a naturally glow finish. For a sparkling but discreet look, choose a metallic eyeliner over a classic black, which gives definition and a touch drama to light up the gaze. Apply it to the lashline by choosing a metal or jewel shade. A simple and chic way to give the face a discreet radiant touch is to prefer a creamy formulation to a powder one, which can blend naturally with the skin. For a fresh and rested effect, apply the cream blush on the cheeks. Instead of the classic loose powder to fix, try a mist: it will extend the duration of the make-up by perfecting the complexion ».

Just enough glitter

For those who want to get out of the box at least for one night, here are the tips to best apply glitter and not look like a stroboscopic ball that Dominic Skinner, MAC Cosmetics senior global make-artist, gave to Metro.co.uk: «For a chic effect a light sprinkle of glitter It is ideal. My advice is to highlight only one detail with glitter for a not excessive make-up. For example, you can light up your eyes by mixing glitter and transparent gloss and then tapping the mixture all over the eyelid. Thus you will have a sparkling disc eye in no time. The gloss also amplifies the reflective quality of the glitter. To illuminate the cheekbones, on the other hand, dust a little, without tapping, on top of the highlighter ».

Twinkle to the stars

If, on the other hand, you want an Instagram effect, put sequins on your eyes: after all, this is the claim to follow post pandemic. The make-up artist of the Coperni Fall / Winter 2021-22 fashion show, Fara Homidi, anticipated it, who recommends showing a fresh face and eyes that shine with rhinestones and stones to be applied on the eyelids instead of the eyeshadow.
