The 10 Best Glitter Eyeliners for Glamorous Holiday Makeup

I don’t know about you, but my calendar is currently packed to the gills with holiday invites. I’m talking parties, dinners, the occasional gala (flex), all while simultaneously trying to, you know, do my job and maintain an apartment that doesn’t look like a tornado just flew through it, Wicked-style. That means I need my holiday makeup looks to feel high-impact but not take me an hour of painstaking application. Don’t get me wrong, I love carefully crafting a smokey eye with all the brushes in my toolkit, but by the time we reach mid-November (aka, right now) my glam routine gets majorly streamlined thanks to the best glitter eyeliners in my collection.

You may hear “glitter” and instantly feel like the vibe is a bit too much, but trust me on this—a creamy, shimmery eye pencil that you can just swipe over your eyelid is going to become your new best beauty friend. I love to use two colors, one for the lash line and one for the inner corners, to light up my eyes and keep the look feeling elevated and like I didn’t just apply my products five minutes before running out the door. So, if you’re in a similar boat and want your holiday makeup to work harder for you so you don’t have to, keep scrolling for my favorite glitter eyeliner combos to wear during the most festive time of year.
