If we had a rupee for each time someone we know got engaged or married off late, we’d be rich enough to own every beauty product on our wishlist. *Sigh* I kid, of course. On a serious note, wedding bells seem to be ringing all around us and we couldn’t be more delighted. Synonymous with celebrations, this season calls for all things sparkle and shimmer, no? Especially makeup, Duh!
Like most of you, I shy away from anything glittery throughout the year. Like hello? Glittery eyes for lunch, really? *cue eye roll* But, weddings are the most perfect excuse to get out the glimmer that’s been gathering dust at the back of your vanity. I know I’ve been dying to experiment with a truckload of glitter since I don’t usually get to. Whether it’s your BFF’s sangeet or your colleague’s snazzy reception, we’ve got every gleaming need of yours covered!
Pixi Beauty‘s Glitter-y Eye Quad in Gold Lava
This is officially the most glittery product I might’ve ever used! While it may seem a tad bit over-the-top for using otherwise, it’s a perfect companion for wedding galas. Four shining shades that will have your eyes looking like the centre of attention. Use it as a topper for your eyeshadow or by itself. Infused with Vitamin E & castor oil, your eyes remain nourished and hydrated.
Huda Beauty‘s Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette
Bursting with colourful glitters, this palette from Huda Beauty is one of her most creative creations yet. If you’re an astrology geek like me, you will love each and every vibrant shade it has to offer. Multi-reflective pigments, glitter-infused with glass pearls and classic metallics—trust Huda Kattan to bring futuristic beauty to us.
Fenty Beauty‘s Diamond Bomb in How Many Carats
When Rihanna was asking us to shine bright like a diamond, it was defo a pre-planned move to get us hooked onto this blinding highlighter. A shade of 3D platinum shimmer veils your face and body with a diamond-like glow. This highlighter melts into your skin so seamlessly, it’s going to become your staple this wedding season!
Kiko Milano‘s Glitter Eyeliner in Silver
We’re all so accustomed to our dramatic black, winged eyeliner, but have you ever thought of turning your liner game up a notch? Enter: the Kiko Milano Glitter Eyeliner! With specks of glitter to make boring liner exciting, this one is used best as a topper. Glam up your basic, black flick with a swipe of glitter.
E.l.f Cosmetics‘ Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in Flirty Birdy
Well, sometimes I like keeping the glitter at bay and this liquid eyeshadow is my bestie when it comes to that! With a pay-off that lasts through even the longest wedding ceremony, this eyeshadow can be built up according to how intense you want the pay-off to be!
Anastasia Beverly Hills‘ Honey Diamond Gloss
Nothing quite says glitter like a good ol’ lip gloss does, no? With glosses making a comeback from the ’90s and ’00s, I happen to have rekindled my obsession with them all over again. This lip gloss from Anastasia Beverly Hills is a literal burst of glitter and shine. I love how I can layer it on my bare lips and use it as a topper for an extra oomph too.
Colorbar Cosmetics‘ Nail Lacquer Artefects in Golden Chrome
If there’s a universal shade that makes your nails dazzle throughout, it’s gotta be gold. Nothing else at all! This lacquer has a metallic sheen that compliments every outfit of yours. I’ve used this one for 3 weddings in a row and been told every single time, “I love your mani!”
