The holiday season is upon us, and that means one thing — ALL things bling are acceptable. However, nobody wants to get confused with the disco ball, right? Check out some grown-up ways to wear glitter for all the end-of-year parties you’ll be attending:

5. Go for a subtle polish

Here’s one for my single-lidded ladies (now put your hands up, Beyoncé style!). A basic dark brown eyeliner look yields a surprise with dusky copper and flecks of gold glitter. If you’re feeling racier, why not swap the copper base for Christmas reds instead?

4. Join the temporary tattoo trend

How pretty is this gold henna? This will definitely make you stand out when you’re busting moves on the dance floor. Get together with your girlfriends and have fun drawing patterns for each other!

3. Choose a classic cut for your clothing

If you want your clothes to have some glitter and not feel over the top, choose a simple cutting or silhouette for easy, polished elegance. This 90’s-style slip dress looks interesting with the ombre effect from the glitter but remains classy.

2. Make girly pink edgy with glitter

Give a twist to your pink lip colour by layering some glitter. We love how the left hot pink lip goes from flashy to stylish and how the right goes from delicate to rocker with the addition of glitter over their different base pinks.

1. Pair soft makeup and wear all the glitter you like!

This getup is interesting because it’s got bling in the hair, makeup and dress — and yet it still works, thanks to the soft curls and nude lips.
