Glitterati

Star Stamp Liner, BODY SHOP, £10
You’ll see stars on everything from party outfits to decorations this season, so why not incorporate stars into your beauty look? Try a stamp for easy shape-making, or sequins for more sparkle.

The Shiny Lipstick in 214, 3INA, £7.95
December is a month of festive beauty looks, and if there was ever a time for breaking beauty rules this is it! Go big on eyes and lips for full impact and prepare to sparkle.

Razor Sharp Liquid Liner in Gold Rush, URBAN DECAY, £17
For more unexpected colour placement, use liquid liner to draw a socket line rather than lash line for a nod to 60’s makeup looks. Metallics are the finish of the season; go bold and contrast your skin tone or subtle with a tone that blends for a hint of shine.

Professional Makeup Pigment in Magnetic, NYX, £5.50
If glitter is too dramatic for you, try a pigment as a way of getting that festive feel without too much glitz.
Top tip – do your eye makeup first, as loose pigments are great for colour pay off but often messy. Clean your skin after using pigments then perfect your base.

Duo Eyeshadow in China Seas, NARS, £25
So many glitter eye shadows but not enough parties to wear them all? Use all the glitters at once for a stand out party look. Try different tones on each eye and clash colours for liners and eye shadows for big impact.
