Glitter Eyeshadows That Actually Stay Put

With the holiday season now here, adding extra glam to your closet and makeup collection makes complete sense. In fact, one of the things this season calls for is glitter eyeshadows to help bring out your inner holiday joy.

The downside is that finding quality makeup is not always an easy task. While women tend to shop in the higher-end makeup section presuming that the most expensive makeup palettes will all be of great quality, a more expensive price tag does not always equal a better product.

Whether you're on a slim budget or just want to find glitter eyeshadow that works for you, know that there are many great options that will stay put on your lids.

To achieve glitter eyes without going too vibrant, the newly-released Flashing Lights Glitter Eyeshadow Palette by ULTA Beauty features nine colorful, yet more muted, hues that go with a variety of skin tones, containing colors ranging from indigo-colored "Radical" to golden "Radiant."

The colors are certainly faint in this eyeshadow palette; however, the glitter isn't skimpy at the slightest. If you want a more vibrant look, apply these shadows while wet, or over top of eyeshadow primer before applying generously to the lids.

One downside regarding this eyeshadow palette though is that it offers a cardboard container, and thus will not be very sturdy in a makeup bag. However, for only $18 and offering easy-to-apply glitter shadows that stay glittery for a long time, it's hard to deny this palette.

Unlike some glitter eyeshadows, the Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow doesn't just offer a glittery-glow, but also creates a shiny, pearlized appearance. In turn, this would be great to wear at holiday gatherings, or better yet, can be ideal to use as a stocking stuffer due to its compact size.
