If you've been noticing more glittery, crystal-embellished eye makeup looks on your social media feeds and on TV recently, you're not alone. As predicted, the sparkly beauty aesthetic is picking up.
The best part about this trend is that it can be whatever you make it. You may want to try it in a more simplistic way by placing just a few crystals around your eyes and pairing the sparkle with a little mascara. Glitter and gemstones work well together too, so there is always the potential to pair 'em up for a more dramatic look. Glitter as eyeliner? That's possible too. Really, the options are endless.
Of course, you'll need some products by your side to actually give crystal eye makeup and glittery details a chance. Keep scrolling for a few products from e.l.f. Cosmetics that'll surely help you out.
