Make Up Games: Halloween Glitter


If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – glitter is out and shimmer is in. Except on Halloween, of course. Halloween is all about bold costumes and getting noticed. The other exception would be when you’re on stage in a competition or pageant – glitter is okay then as you must be seen from a distance.

But regardless of distance, this Halloween, you can enjoy your glitter in many different forms without worrying that you’re using too much or putting it in the wrong places.

Halloween Glitter
The best places to put glitter as part of your Halloween costume is in your hair, on your shoulders and around your eyes and forehead. If you think about pixie dust, you can better understand how glitter should be used. If Tinkerbell were to dust you in glitter, where would it land? In your hair, on your shoulders, on your cheeks, forehead and eyelids, You might get a bit in your cleavage, too, but that’s risky.

When applying glitter, it is always best to start by applying a very thin coat followed by another. There’s a point of too much glitter, so taking baby steps with your glitter will help you avoid reaching that point.
