Remember smearing your face in piles of glitter makeup as a child? Well, guess what: Just like you, glitter eyeshadow is finally all grown up. The latest offerings are non-sticky, comfortable for day-to-night wear, and are available in a fun array of hues to match your attention-grabbing New Year’s Eve dress. They also offer flexibility, allowing you to express yourself regardless of your mood or outside factors like dreary winter afternoons.
Glitter eyeshadows come in different formulations — liquids, powders, loose pigments, creams — and finishes, ranging from subtle shimmers to high-impact chunky glitters, like the Half Magic GLITTERPILL and Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Glitter. Regardless of the formula type, applying an eye primer will help extend your glitter eyeshadow's longevity. Almost every major beauty brand sells eyeshadow primer — but we're partial to the Hourglass Veil Eye Primer for its lightweight feel and universally flattering tint and the very popular Too Faced Glitter Glue Shadow Insurance for 24/7 budgeproof wear.
Beyond hitting up Sephora, Ulta, and Nordstrom, you can also find these gorgeous glitter eyeshadows online at Amazon. Plus, the 15 glitter eyeshadows we gathered start at just $6 a pop, including the ColourPop Super Shock Shadow and e.l.f. Liquid Metallic Eyeshadows. Here are the most stunning glitter eyeshadows we think are worth adding to your beauty cart ASAP.
