How to wear glitter without looking too over the top: 3 Beauty Panel tips and tricks
Sparkly ornamentation made its beauty mark this spring—courtesy Marchesa and Christian Dior—and there’s no doubt that glitter accents will continue to trend throughout fall. At the forefront of our favourite shimmering looks was the bedazzled statement look that Peter Philips created for Chanel. Whereas brows got all the glitter in 2012, for Fall 2013 Philips brought the focus back to the eyes, making them twinkle with silver sequined appliqués.
When it comes to duplicating the glitter look at home, it can be tricky to keep the look more runway glam and less like you’re going to a rave. While the Chanel look was impressive, the best bet for some DIY shimmer is to keep it subtle. To help advise, we turned to the Beauty Panel and asked them to show us how they incorporate a little bit of glitter into your beauty routine.

Incorporating some shimmer to your day-to-day makeup routine doesn’t have to consist of covering up your eyelids with a pot of glitter. Aïda Michelle Lopes of Fell For That kept her glitter application simple: she added a touch of shine by dazzling up the inner corners of her eyes. Meanwhile, My Beauty Box’s Ellie Somfelean used green sparkly eyeliner to not only add colour but sparkles to her look, creating a beauty look fit for an underwater princess. For those who are looking for a subtler glittery look, Toronto’s Beauty Reviews’ Elaine Atkins recommends using a touch of shimmery eyeshadow. Going for a warmer gold shade, Elaine achieves the a sweet sparkly effect without making it look too overpowering.
