Party make-up minus glitter eye shadow is just incomplete. With festive spirit high, it's time to make your eyes sparkle the right way.

Femalefirst.co.uk shares simple tips on how to apply glitter eyeshadow:

- The first part is picking your glitter. There are multi-dimensional shades for you to choose from. Pick the ones that last for long.

- Use an eyeshadow primer to prepare the eyes and make sure any make-up doesn’t crease.

- If you’re using a bit of glitter to brighten a smokey eye, start with the base colours first and apply your glitter last, and don’t go overboard with it.

- Use a cream eyeshadow underneath a glitter too. This will prevent glitter from spreading all over your face.
