Is party season the time to sparkle?

Tis the season to be jolly, but tis it the season to sparkle?

Once you reach a certain age, glitter becomes something of a no-no.  It's sort of like wearing jelly sandals.  Just because they make them in your grown up size nowadays, it doesn't mean there should be a revival.

But there's something about the party season that makes glitter socially acceptable (and it's not just the mulled wine!).

We've been investigating glitter eyelooks and there are so many ways to incorporate a little sparkle in your eye makeup.  From a light sprinkling like you've been kissed by a fairy, to full on arts and craft with pots of glitter and adhesive.

Check out these looks for inspiration:

   
   

Do you join the glitterati come the festive season? How do you use glitter in your eyelooks?  Do you add it to your usual evening smokey eye, or do you opt for a more daring striking look?

Are you a glitter girl all year round?  Or do you hate glitter and would never be seen with spangly, sparkly or fairy dusted lids?

YES - I'm a huge fan of shimmer and what better time to do it than now?

Shimmer does have it's time and place the two top photos are my fave but I think the bottom one one on the left is an overkill. I don't wear a lot of glitter, well anywhere. I used to wear shimmery eyeshadow but it creases worse than matte and so the shades I wear slight shimmer on the inner corners of my eyes and a bit on the brow bone sort of like a highlight. Also because I wear glasses, it doesn't show up well.

I like the more subtle glitter/shimmer look myself. So I would choose the top two looks before the bottom two. I think the bottom two are more party girl looks where as the top two are a little bit more sexy looking.

Hell freaking yeah! Love sparkles but not too over the top they can be a pain on the butt to clean up afterwards sometimed

I love these looks and wish I had the nerve to try it

28th November, 2014

Yes yes yes yes the more sparkle (without being Edward Cullen in the sun) the better.

I love the Navy Top Right!

I love all sorts of glitter. This eye shadow matches my sparkly shoes. It's great for the party season.

I so wish i knew how to do looks like this - in fact I think I might have to nab me some glitter eye shadow soon & give it a try cause these are soooo pretty!

28th November, 2014

Love it but I'm in the "certain" age group. I don't like the mutton look!

I'm not usually a sparkle pants princess - but I must say that after applying the shimmery sparkly gold eyeshadow from the ZA palette I received from BR, I might be a wee bit converted - it's just so pretty!!

I love glitter and sparkles and quite often rock them most days :)

Looooove glitter - not OTT crazy disco ball eyes but done well I think it looks amazing. One of my fav easy christmassy looks is light brown transition shade, a little darker brown in the crease (not too heavy) and some gold shimmer on the lids + bright red lips = amaze!

I loveeee sparkles on others, I love it in nail polish... but not for me in face make up *sigh*

28th November, 2014

My current eyeshadow looks like it has glitter in it. I love it, only problem is as it was a gift I have absolutely no idea where it came from or even what brand it is.

28th November, 2014

Not the biggest fan of glitter on me. These looks are pretty but I leave glitter to girls I prefer bold colours. Thats just me.
