Glitter, beautiful as it is, is hard to pull off. A bit much can make one look child-like, add a little more and you'll risk looking obtrusively bright and showy. But just the right amount and the right color can make you look, well, out-of-this-world gorgeous. So who better to ask how glitter can be worn the right and grown up way than makeup artist to the stars Anton Patdu?
GLASS SKIN
Wonder: Anton, how do we get glass skin without looking oily? Anton: When doing the glass skin, make sure to use little to no foundation and to use light-reflecting base instead. Do not set it with too much powder; the trick is to place the highlights where the light touches the skin so it will look glassy instead of oily.

DISCO EYES
Wonder: Disco glitter-y eyes are hard to rock. Is there a particular color that would look good on just about everyone? Anton: When in doubt, go for golden glitter! It adds just the right oomph on eyes especially for evening events. I ALWAYS recommend this color of glitter because it looks great on all skin tones and it adds a bit of a glow to your eyes.

LIPS LIKE SUGAR
Wonder: Glitter lips is not exactly a practical look for, say, sit-down dinners. But if we really want to rock it, how do we achieve and sustain the look through the night? Anton: I suggest mixing your glitter with a lip gloss. That way the glitter doesn’t fall off and it has something to adhere on. Glitter lips look very sexy!
