If you didn’t get the hint from my New Year’s Eve eye makeup post, NYE is all about the glitz and the glam, in my opinion. If you’re on the same line of thought, but not sure how to rock the glitter this NYE, here are three ways to glam it up, from subtle shimmer, to over-the-top sparkle:
Subtle Shimmer
Clutch, flats, dress, bangle, tights
You don’t need to pile on the glitter to be a show-stopper this NYE. A well-fitting black dress is a good investment you can wear again and again. Pair it with some patterned tights for a little extra interest and texture. Classic ballet flats keep the look cute and comfortable enough for you to dance the night away. Top it off with some sequined accessories to give you a pop of glitter for a fun NYE look.
Dash of Dazzle
Clutch, heels, top, skirt, earrings, eye shadow
If you want to take your outfit to the next level, why not try an all-sequined piece, like this mini skirt? Not only is it on-trend, but sequins reflect light in a way that is almost universally flattering. Be sure to try these pieces on in the store, cheaper versions can sometimes be itchy and uncomfortable if not lined properly. Pair this daring piece with a flirty top and sexy heels for a fearlessly feminine ensemble. Don’t forget your shimmery clutch, or your eye-catching earrings and glittery shadow to draw attention to that gorgeous face of yours.
Total Twinkle
Clutch, tights, dress, eyelashes, heels
Be the star of the party wherever you go this NYE with a show-stopping, full-sequin dress like this one. It’s ultra-shimmery, and sexy without being slutty, especially with the cap sleeves and modest neckline. With glitter like that, you don’t need to show a lot of skin. Ditch the glitzy accessories, so you don’t look like you stepped off of a burlesque stage, but keep the look glam with matching sky-high heels and ultra-plush false lashes.

Holy shzniit, this is so cool thank you.
I have always wanted a super glittery dress like that!although this NYE I will just be using accessories to add glitter to my outfit :)
Um, love. Considered buying a sparkly dress for NYE but I opted for lace instead – with a shimmering clutch, of course!
