So you look chic versus cutesy.
Glitter can be a hard accessory to pull off.
However, when done right/worn well, it not only looks age-appropriate,
it's sure to cause a few heads to turn-slash-serve as an instant
conversation starter. "Confidence is also key when it comes to wearing
glitter, so add shimmer to accentuate whichever feature you love most
and then own the look you chose," makeup artist Bob Scott said. Here, model Sistine Stallone shows you how to do just that, wearing a plethora of shimmery shades while serving up major looks.

1. Eye-Catching Crimson Lip
 |
This lip isn't your every day look, but it
definitely falls into the "special occasion" lip category. To copy
Sistine's stunning scarlet pout, Scott suggests laying the groundwork
with a red lip color (he used Rouge Dior Liquid Lip Stain in "565 Versatile Satin"
on her here), and then perfecting the lip shape with a matching liner.
"These steps are also interchangeable," he added. Next comes the
glitter. He applied MAC Reflects Red Glitter,
using his finger, patting it all over her lip. For increased drama,
because we're all a little ~extra~, enhance the glitter effect by
applying a clear gloss, like Glossier's, followed by more glitter (be sure to apply both with your finger).

2. Cool-Girl, Violet Cat-Eye
 |
Cat-eyes aren't the easiest to execute, but don't
shy away from this chic look just because it involves glitter. Here,
Scott first sketched out the liner's shape with a soft purple eye pencil
(MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in "Rich Purple") before setting the liner with an accentuating shadow. Then, he used a small, tightly packed brush to lay down the glitter. "I applied Lemonhead.LA in "Birthday Bitch Spacejam" directly over the cat-eye shape, keeping the glitter in bounds with a pointed cotton swab," Scott explained. Finally, he swiped on mascara and patted Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss over her lips.

3. Shimmery, Two-Toned Eye
 |
If you're into wearing a smoky eye, take it up a
notch for any night out/holiday party with a touch (or two!) of glitter.
"For this eye, the first thing I did was create a smoky, nude base
using browns and other neutrals from the Urban Decay Distortion Eyeshadow Palette," Scott explained. Next, line the waterline of your eye with a black or dark brown khol liner, like Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Pencil (one of Scott's absolute favorites!), and then get your glitter ready. "I used two tones, silver and gold, from UD’s Heavy Metal Collection,"
he said, "applying the gold tone first, "Midnight Cowboy," as a
medium-thick line over the base of her lid, wrapping it around the inner
corner and then along her bottom lash line. Be sure to taper the
thickness as you go in toward the corner of your eye. Then, he took
"Glamrock" (the silver tone) and layered it over the inner corner for a
mixed-metal highlight. Finally, swipe on a few coats of mascara over
curled lashes.

5. Bold, Purple Glitter Brow
 |
Have bold brows and you don't particularly
like wearing an eye shadow look? This is the perfect, playful (yet
still grown!) way to accentuate your arches. For this lit, purple
glitter brow, start by filling in your arches with a purple eye liner. Next, dip a cotton swap into some Ben Nye Glitter Glue
and push it into your brow along your natural shape, coating all of
hairs. Then, use a flat brush to push the glitter onto the glue. "I used
MAC Fuchsia glitter on Sistine," Scott said. Finally, clean up any outlying glitter with a strip of transparent tape.

6. Glam Glitter Nails
 |
"Glitter is a really simple way to add a fun, festive, decorative element to your manicure," manicurist Ada Yeung
explained. But to make sure your digits read grown-up rather than too
young and cutesy, follow Yeung's how-to: Start by painting on two coats
of sheer, iridescent polish, like Zoya Nail Polish in "Leia." Next, using a thin striper brush
(you can get these at the craft store), outline your nail bed with a
darker glittery color. "I used H&M’s iridescent pink and orange
shade called “Phoenix"
before gluing varying sizes of Swarovski crystals along Sistine's
cuticle line," she added. She finished her look with a quick-drying top
coat, like Seche Vite.
