The minute August hits us, we know the festive season is right around the corner. With festivities lining up one after the other, who doesn’t want to look like a patakha! Most of us enjoy going all out with our makeup looks, I know I defo do. Right from intense smokey eyes with a splash of colour to vibrant eyeliners, nothing’s extra in the festive season. However, the one makeup product that demands your attention the most is— Glitter Eyeshadows!
Let’s be real, your eye makeup can look stunning fosho, but what’s really going to take it from 0 to 100 is a dash of glitter all over it. If you ever needed an excuse to shop for a glitter eyeshadow palette, let this year’s festive season be it.
