Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes · Product guide
Glitter
Loose or pressed glitter for a high-impact finish.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes guide.
When to use it
Editorial, stage and occasions where the look does not have to survive fourteen hours.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Rarely the right call for a photographed bridal night — it moves, and it moves onto everything shot afterwards.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Wearability. It is an effect, not a base component.
The most common mistake
Using loose glitter near the eye without a proper adhesive.
