Glitter is definitely taking center stage right now. We first started seeing glitter in small doses backstage at fashion weeks; however, glitter is no longer limited to eyes and lips, as we are now seeing a huge trend of wearing glitter on our bodies! We have the many music festivals to thank for that, and as outrageous as it seems, body glitter can enhance your outfit, replace accessories, and be worn in a very subtle, glamorous and elegant way with these few simple steps:

1-   Focus on the décolleté area and/or shoulders.

2-   Be sure to dress up and apply your make up first, leaving glitter application to the very end so as to avoid residue in unintended areas. 

3-   Body glitter comes in many formulas such as Spray, Roll-ons, Gel, and loose glitter in a pot. My favorite choice for an elegant chic body application is loose glitter in a pot. Make-Up Forever and MAC PRO stores offer Glitter pots in an endless variety of colors and sizes.

4-   Moisturize your skin, then gently apply your glitter with either a big powder brush, or a powder puff. 

5-   When it comes to color, sky is the limit; however, since we are talking about an elegant and chic look, the top colors of choice will always be Silver and Gold. Silver works best and enhances lighter skin tones, while Gold Glitter looks gorgeous on tanned/darker skin tones. We also love holographic glitter!

6-   Be sure to remove your glitter with a makeup remover, preferably a wipe, before changing your clothes in order to avoid residue as glitter can be clingy and messy.
