Makeup That Glows? Go Metallic

Makeup That Glows? Go Metallic

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of your vanity, your makeup kit, or your trash bag full of assorted beauty products, scratching your head thinking, Where has the glow gone? please let us be the first to inform you that all of the glow is right here in this story. Makeup has been pretty matte in recent years. Sure, there’s plenty of focus on glowy skin—but matte lipstick, matte bronzer, matte shadow palettes? It’s all far too flat for your gleaming personality. That, and as the weather begins to brighten, shouldn’t your makeup trash bag get the same shimmering injection of levity? Yes, it should! It’s practically begging for it!

Now, glow can mean a lot of things. Heck, you can get sunscreen with glow in it thanks to Dr. Jart. (It’s a pretty good sunscreen actually.) But for today’s purposes, we’re talking metallics: that glinting middle ground between superfine shimmer and hardcore glitter. No, not unicorn or mermaid—but some grown-up-but-still-lives-for-the-drama type silvers, golds, and chromes. It can be elegant! What, don’t buy it? Keep scrolling. The glow is good for you.
