16 Glitter Eyeshadow Looks For Party Season

With party season rapidly approaching, the time to decide on which festive, party-ready makeup look you’re going for has finally arrived.  

There are many traditional trends that come and go when it comes to the festive season, from wearing a bold red lip, to going all out with big, bouncy curls. But one thing we know for sure is that a glitter eyeshadow look makes the cut every year. 

No makeup look says ‘party season’ like a glittery eyeshadow look that catches every compliment and steals the spotlight in every room you enter. Sparkly eyeshadow is more versatile than you think and works well with a variety of skin tones, eye colours, and occasions. Got a Christmas do? Try a glittery eyeshadow look. Festive work party? Add a swipe of shimmery eyeshadow. New Year’s Party? Go for a glistening glitter eyeshadow look. 

Now that you know the vibe, all that you’re missing is some inspo. Lucky for you, we’ve scoured every corner of Instagram to find the best glitter eyeshadow looks to rock during party season. All you need to do is scroll and pick your fave.
