If you're feeling a little too sophisticated to implement glitter into your beauty routine, shimmer (glitter's older sister) is the perfect alternative. It adds a festive holiday feel to a beauty look without feeling too costume-y or overdone. Winter is the perfect season to add a bit of shimmer to your makeup kit. Whether you're applying it delicately on your cheekbones or taking a bolder approach by coating your lashes in glistening gold, there's a seasonally appropriate glitter product for just about any part of your body. And we've proved it here.
