All year long, we let ourselves feel satisfied with different variations of brown/black/neutral eye makeup. But then, when the holiday season hits, it is all about the glitter. And what better way to show your holiday spirit than with glitter eyeliner?
While I agree that there is nothing more annoying than people throwing up Christmas decorations within 12 hours of taking down their Halloween ones, I am fully on-board with prematurely embracing holiday makeup. After all, there are only so many months in the year where gold glitter eyeliner is a perfectly acceptable option for everyday wear, so we should jump start that part of the holiday season STAT
These days, the options are endless — from pencils to liquids to pots at every price point, there is something for everyone, even those who like their glitz to remain a bit more understated (Personally, I'm more of a "the sparklier, the better" kind of girl). Here are 11 glitter eyeliner options for you to test out this holiday season. In the meantime, I'm going to start working on a petition to make year-round glitter eyeliner a thing. I already have Pat McGrath and all of her muses on my team.
