One of the areas of makeup I’ve avoided for years are all things glitter. I am heavy handed so whenever I’ve applied in the past, I’ve used too much and it would get all over everything. Then when it comes to cleaning it off, forget about it! There have been times where I’ve taken multiple showers and will still find glitter specs somewhere.
Smith & Cult changed my entire perspective on glitter when they launched their newest line of glitter shadows, and glitter pastes.
GLITTER SHOT ALL-OVER GLITTER CRUSH ($22)
Available in 6 different shades with different chunky glitter shapes, this glitter is perfect for festival season.
It is a mix of fine and chunky glitters that stay in place and are easily controllable. Although this is a glitter paste, this one was easy to clean off and left no residual particles on my skin.
I have the blue which is comprised of chunky silver circular glitters, with a blue holographic shift depending on how the specs catch the light. It is complimented by fine glitter particles so you can concentrate them and pack them on for a high impact look, or spread them out on your skin for all over shine.
GLITTERBABY METALLIC-SHIFT EYESHADOW ($24)
Available in 12 different metallic glitter shades, these liquid eyeshadows are perfect for prom season. They are easy to use, and high impact so they give you an editorial look without much effort.
The formula gives you enough time to move it around on your eye for perfect placement. Once it dries down, it stays in place and doesn’t crease.
I used the silver to create the look below by using a blue matte shadow to smoke out my outer corner, bottom lash line and crease, and then I easily added the glitter shadow to my my lid.
Smith & Cult’s makeup collection is currently available for purchase in their Online Store, Ulta Online and Ulta Stores Nationwide.
