The easiest way to add a festive, holiday vibe to any look is to add some SPARKLE. Whether you like wearing full-on glitter or a just a hint of shimmer, there’s something for everyone on this Holiday Makeup 5 Under $5 list.
e.l.f. Stardust Glitter Eyeliner ($4.00 Target)
What to my wondering eyes should appear, but e.l.f.’s beautiful collection of sparkle this year! Their Stardust Glitter Eyeliner is a definite standout. Just paint it on as you would any liquid liner.
Add a thin or thick line to your upper lash line, depending on how dramatic you would like your look to be. Wear it alone or apply a line of glitter above your normal black/brown liner for added drama. Colors include Sparkling Silver, Shimmering Gold, Pink Opal, and Sea Foam. Trust me, you will get compliments.
Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter Single ($.99 Target)
Rival Santa’s twinkle with Wet n Wild’s shadow singles. Attract attention to your eyes by adding some glitter to your lids! The silver and gold shades make a holiday statement, but you can also stick with something more subtle like rose gold. And at 99 cents each, you can afford to play around with new colors.
L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Color IN SOME SHADES ($3.99 on Amazon)
Makeup isn’t the only way to sparkle, you can also work the holiday trend with glitter nail polish. Choose a traditionally festive color like red or green, or go for a neutral like silver and gold. Paint all your nails, or use glitter polish to paint just one accent nail.
Rhinestone Bobby Pins ($.01 Amazon)
-
- White
-
- Champagne
Bobby pins are still having their moment in the spotlight! Just by tucking a rhinestone bobby pin into your hair, you level up your glam! You take an everyday look to an evening/party look instantly. They work great with an up-do, but look just as elegant simply holding hair behind your ear.
Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter (Some Shades $4.38 Amazon)
-
- Pearl
-
- Pink
Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow! This cream-to-powder formula is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES! I love the pink shade, which actually only has a hint of pink glow when you apply it.
Packed with light-reflecting pigments, this shimmery highlighter can be worn alone to highlight to certain areas of your face, such as your cheek bones.
It’s not just for your face, you can also highlight your collar bones and shoulders. With so many uses, this is something you’ll be reaching for year round. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Glitter always feels glamorous. So after the holidays, keep the trend going. Put the tinsel and lights in storage, but don’t pack away your sparkle!
