As if by magic, with more velocity than ever before, glitterseems to be taking over the faces, heads and bodies of the world. Everywhere Iturn, there are more sparkles, more shimmering glimmer. The result overall is amore magical world in my opinion.
It is my sincerest hope that this beautytrend lives on through 2014, and so I’ve mastered a way to make my face evenmore magical.
The holiday season, sadly, is over, but that doesn’t mean itisn’t still glitter’s time to shine. I might have packed away my collection ofitchy glitter sweaters, snow globes, and sparkly ice cream ornaments, but thatdoesn’t mean I have to suffer through the rest of the year without sparklesstuck all over my body. Hair,face, nails,toenails; no skin will be left behind.
So far on xoVain we’ve gone over glittercheeks,glitter lips,and more. That just about covers it, right? Wrong! We forgot eyebrows, guys!
I couldn't decide how I wanted to implement my glitter browlook. Should I glue blocks of glitter fabric or paper onto my face a la ChanelF/W 2012?That didn't seem like the most wearable or comfortable option, though I maystill try it In the future because jewel-encrusted eyebrows are obviouslysomething I enjoy.
With a bit of experimentation and some trusty products, I cameup with two versions of a glitter brow to try. The results are wearable, easy-to-execute looks. Just please don't get glitter in your eye. Please.
Version 1
Using my very favourite Heavy Metal Glitter liquid liner byUrban Decay in Midnight Cowboy, I gave my eyebrows a nice subtlegolden sparkle.

Simply take the little liquid liner brush and apply thesparkles to your brows until satisfied. This route is super-easy and the resultis, like, ugh, so pretty.
Version 2
For a more dramatic look, I turned to my Sephora Glittering EyeDuo in Iridescent.
Sephora Collection
Glittering Eye Duo$14.00
I thoroughly coated my brows with the providedsticky primer, making sure to brush some in against the hairs to make thefoundation nice and solid. Then I coated the same brush with the attachedglitter and stuck it all over my brows.
Hypothetically something similar could be done with a gluestick and carefully placed dollar-store glitter if you wanted to get all fancy budget craft projecton your face.
Let me know (and show me) if you try this!
