How to Make Your Own Makeup Glitter Glue for Scrapbooking

We've worn glitter eye shadow to death, rocked glitter roots and tried our hand at glitter lips, so what's new for this party season? We'll show you all the trending ways to wear glitter right now, inspired by backstage beauty and our favorite makeup artists. After all, a little sparkle never hurt anyone.

Under and in Your Brows

At Giambattista Valli, makeup artist extraordinaire Val Garland created these bedazzled brows, as modelled by Gigi Hadid. It's a modern, stylish take on the glitter trend and one we'll be emulating ASAP. Apply the MAC or Too Faced options below. You can also use an angled brush, Nyx glitter glue or a loose glitter of your choice. A metallic hue is always a chic choice, or why not try a colored sparkle? And, removing glitter glue is easy—just use an oil-based cleanser.

When makeup artist Holly Aldous created this sparkly brow look, we were immediately sold on glitter brows. For our Christmas parties, we'll be jazzing up our brows with the help of the below products.

Why not add a dab of coordinating glitter in the inner corners of your eyes, too?

We're matching this silver shade to our accessories.

Glitter Strobing

Strobing (aka applying highlighter from the tops of your cheeks and temple to sculpt the face) has been taken to a new level. But in 2019, we'll be glitter strobing. Simply extend the glitter on your lids out onto the tops of your cheekbones and up into the temples.

Glitter Freckles

As if freckles weren't cute enough, they just got a festive update. No longer just for festivals, embrace a quirky take on face glitter this festive season.

Nyx Glitter Primer $7

Shop

Glitter glue is a must for minimizing fallout. This Nyx primer will make sure your freckles shine.

OPV Beauty Pressed Glitter $9

Shop

We're using this to re-create Katie Jane Hughes's glitter freckles. We think this sparkling brown shade is easier to pull off, but if you're feeling bold, opt for the gold version like Katie's.

Glittery Hair

We're obsessed with the eye-catching 'do created at Giambattista Valli by innovative stylist Paul Hanlon. The look was inspired by the traditional Indian Holi festival (where bright coloured powders are thrown in celebration.) Each model rocked an individual hairstyle, with glitters of varying colors.

To create the look, Hanlon sprayed the hair from mid length down with a pastel colored spray, then brushed a loose glitter pigment on top. Adding the glitter from mid-lengths to ends gives the look a more relaxed, less costume-y feel. The hair had a beautiful beachy texture that gave the luxe look a cool-girl edge. We love how easily you can re-create this runway look. We for one can't wait to try our very own party-ready 'do, hair shimming as we go.

To re-create the glittery haired look, mix a small amount of our favorite texturizing product with your choice of loose glitter, pulling through the hair from mid-length downwards.

MAC Glitter $22

Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Texturizing Spray $16

Set your glittering tresses with Sam McKnight's Texturizing spray and shine on, baby.

Body Shimmer

Body shimmers had a real moment in the '90s. But lately, we've noticed makeup artists extending illuminating drops and glitter across the collarbones and décolletage. It looks seriously glam and will ensure you're shining under those party lights.
