#GLITTERBUG

Are you ready to catch the Glitterbug? As this is one trend that is definitely not going away…

If you thought the Spring/Summer 2018 glitter trend was flash in the pan, think again. MUA Tom Pecheux for Chanel sent models down the Fall runways wearing iridescent gold on their cheekbones. If you are feeling like going ‘way out’ take a leaf out of Vogue beauty editor Val Garland who created shimmering foreheads for Preen or go one step further with a full face of glitter like make-up artists at Giambattista Valli.

At Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2018 show, purple glitter eyeshadow was applied to the centre of the eyelids and on the lower lash line. Meanwhile, models at the Kate Spade show were given Swarovski crystal-embellished lids for that extra Wow factor.

Thanks to a whole host of cosmetic brands including Beauty Blvd, Barry M and Ciaté, embracing the playful look is made easy no matter what your skill set.

MARBELLA ROCKS TOP 3 GLITTER PICKS

Bleach London’s Glitterati Palette – €38

Many glitter eyeshadows lack staying power. Yet we have found a brand new one on the market -Bleach London’s Glitterati Palette – a selection of glitter-packed adhering shadows in nine versatile hues. This seriously won’t budge, withstanding heat and water splashes so you can be pool party ready this Summer.

Ciaté London Glitter Flip Lipstick – €18

If you need a quick way to create glitter lips, try this one-step product from Ciaté. The fully pigmented formula applies like a regular lipstick, however, it transforms into an extreme glitter finish when the lips are pressed together. The cosmetics brand has recently added six new colours to the range.

Barry M Fine Glitter Dust – €4

The glitter trend transcends make-up with nails following suit. The best way to add glitter to nails instead of buying a whole new set of varnishes is to sprinkle a coat of fine glitter (stay clear of heavy duty ones) to nails as they are drying. Voila! Instant glitter nails in all your favourite colours.
