The heavy-hitting lineup at Coachella this weekend including Lady Gaga, Lorde, and Banks, serves plenty in the way of inspiration for dialing up your spring beauty routine. Where to start? With the ultimate festival staple—glitter—worn in sophisticated and unexpected ways. It’s something Parisian makeup artist Violettehas mastered, recently adding a thin dusting to her Cupid’s bow. “When [I] put glitter on, I always like to think of how it’s going to reflect the light,” explains Violette, who recommends a swipe of Ben Nye Glitter Glue to line the center of your top lip, and then lightly pressing fine glitter on top of the glue with your pinky finger. “It looks like an optical illusion.”

The Parisian makeup artist is also a fan of applying a hint of shimmer along the lower lash line and on eyebrows with help from Lemonhead’s vegan Pomade and OCC’s Cosmetic Glitter in red. But no matter where you decide to sprinkle your sparkles, the perfect balance is struck when “your skin [is] very fresh, very clean,” says Violette, to keep you from looking overdone.

From minute precision to laissez-faire smears, a new wave of light-catching products has been designed to meet your every makeup need. Those who require a prerequisite of staying put until the last turn on the dance floor can look no further than Urban Decay’s Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner. The quick-drying formula comes in seven striking shades, applied with a look-perfecting thin tipped brush. Meanwhile, Dior’s Fusion Mono Eyeshadow in Reveuse ups your eye shadow game with a vibrant punch of color and an iridescent finish. Then, for a bespoke, choose-your-own-adventure route, Tom Ford’s Cream and Powder Eyecolor compact allows you to layer sparking powder on top of a metallic cream eye shadow. Above, eight next-generation glitter products that are sure to make a modern statement.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/cheap-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/vintage-formal-dresses
