Our makeup mantra for the party season? “Walk into the room, and make the whole place shimmer.” Who doesn’t love a good glitter moment? Be it a pearlescent swathe on the lids or a light-reflecting shimmer, an extra twinge of radiance is all you need to dial up your glam. Don’t just take my word for it, though. The biggest pop culture moments in 2022, depicting the inventive usage of shimmer have inadvertently made ‘Glitter Glam’ quite the fixation amongst MZers. From the HBO hit series, Euphoria’s evocative glitter glam to Taylor Swift's latest MV -Bejeweled’s shimmer extravaganza, we’ve seen the triggering of a deluge of trends with countless spins and inventions.

“My fave go-to glitter palette is Pat McGrath’s Mothership IX Artistry Pallette Huetopian Dream. Just one swipe of this highly pigmented shade range lasts me all night without any fussy fallout or smudging. The colors are so vivid, vibrant and flatter all Indian skin tones. This is a must-have palette for both holiday and festive seasons, as any look or outfit is immediately elevated with that touch of glam shimmer.”

“My friends can certainly attest to my unwavering dedication to glitter. It’s true, I literally waltz into work with super shimmery lids on a regular Monday morning. And that brings me to why I specifically LOVE the holiday season because I get to maximize on my glitter-packed palettes and glosses on repeat (evil laugh). That said, my go-to holiday beauty product this year has got to be the iconic Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette By Huda Beauty. I’m obsessed with shades Ultraviolet and Mercury from the palette. I usually top it up with Supermoon Supermoon for that extra holiday pop.”
