There are certain things that we always bring out when the holiday season rolls around including our fairy lights, stockings, mulled wine and Christmas jumpers. We also adjust our makeup bags for the party season. Red lipstick, and red and green nail polishes are staples for the Christmas party season, and so is anything sparkly. Matte shades are fine for everyday but shimmery shades just get you into the party spirit. If you overdosed on glitter makeup when you were 12 and you are worried about it looking over the top, don’t worry, these are lots of products to add a subtle touch of sparkle to your look from eyeliners to nail varnishes. Add a bit of holiday spirit to your makeup routine with these shimmery beauty products:
