Sparkly makeup: Six ways to add some shimmer and shine
Sparkle in the Season's Must-Have Makeup
Eye bling
Turn heads with lashes that sparkle with teeny tiny rhinestones. It's a bold look, but holiday parties are the perfect occasion to go all out.

Ruby red
A classic colour gets a festive twist with this new holiday polish from Essie. Minuscule sparkles create a shimmer effect that catch the eye, but won't have your digits looking like sparkly disco balls. It's the season's most sophisticated manicure.
Leading Lady polish, $8. Essie.
Sparkly peepers
For a subtle approach to glitter, try a sparkly liquid liner. It's just enough to make eyes pop, without going overboard. Look for liners in gem tones, like emerald or plum, for added depth on an otherwise minimal makeup application.
Sparkle Liquid Eyeliner, $29. eBeauty.
