Glitter! (not the movie)
Sparkles are just the best.
The colored shiny reflection of light cannot be fucking beat.
If you strongly disagree...we most likely would not be friends.
After vacuuming my floors while living in Kalamazoo, a healthy dose of glitter would be sprinkled over the carpets to add life to the house or apartment. Rarely will my makeup regimen neglect glitter, or at least shimmer. (These two similar things are, in fact, different- but they do fall into the same category of awesomeness.)
Glitter is not a mess to be cleaned up. If it is spilled, or spread from one thing to another unintentionally, this is only something to be celebrated.
The cheapest glitter is always the big kind, usually gold or silver. Perfect for carpets, pet fur, outdoor patios and table tops. The best kind is ultra fine, and rainbowy iridescent, best for hair, clothes, makeup and nails.
Just don't buy Martha Stewart's line, no matter how appealing it is, because that bitch is greedy and evil.
Some may tell you that craft glitter and cosmetic glitter are different, but I've put all kinds of random glitter all over my face and I've never had an issue. I do remember a girl who had to wear an eye patch for a week in fifth grade due to a glitter catastrophe. I mean, I guess technically they are miniscule jagged shards of metal and plastic, perhaps not the safest thing to put directly into your eyeballs...but it looks so fucking cool.
*Disclaimer- that's not a perfect makeup picture, but it is in fact my own face. There are eight billion instagrams and tumblr photos out there that are way cooler and more professional looking, but I felt like occasionally I could use my own pics instead of just whoring out google image searches constantly. In my defense, I only spent about five minutes on the makeup itself and only took eleven shots before choosing an acceptable one.
This one, clearly, is not me. But she showcases a fine example of the best way to wear glitter make up.
