Holiday Glitter Makeup

Chunky glitter has had a good year already, and as holiday parties roll out, its ascendance is pretty much assured. There's very little mystery to glitter's holiday success: it's spectacular at diffusing and refracting light, giving its wearer a healthy, cheerful glow that's particularly alluring on cold nights. And thick, noticeable glitter in place of more traditional shimmer gives the look an edge that's more Patti Smith than Spice Girls. I put together some of the prettiest glitter out there, so click through and glitz it up on your own terms this month.
