translated from Spanish: How to wear the glitter elegantly to show off this New Year?

New Year’s celebrations are, for many, the time when everything is allowed. That’s why, both in streets and at parties, it is usually bright. But sometimes it’s too much. Image consultant and personal shopper Sheylla Tapia (@shey.personalshopper) explained to hoyxhoy that “sometimes we get so excited about the New Year’s outfit that we end up looking like a Christmas tree shining all over the place.” And that’s usually not the idea. To prevent that from happening and show off the shine in an elegant and sexy way, she proposed “not to focus solely on sequins”. This, because “we can also take advantage of textures, fabrics such as velvet and metallic colors. I think the main thing is to play between the glosses and the sober, neutral, flat textures, to create a balance.” Of course, what is used should always be according to the season. “Velvet is very much related to winter, but a sexy, pretty velvet dress looks perfect, as well as satin and silk, which have incredible glitter and falls,” the image consultant said. As for accessories, Sheylla recommended the use of shoes with applications in rhinestones, prints and shine, as long as the rest of the outfit is more sober. He also suggested wearing necklaces, pendants and headbands that, he commented, “they’re very fashionable and they’re pretty chic”.What about makeup? Makeup artist Abigail Ruiz (@abigailruizmake_up) said that “it is super important that the shine is used in the afternoon-night, never in the morning”. “And if you are going to use gloss pigments that are loose, that do not have adherent, you have to use a good base for shade that gives adherence to the shine because if you go to a party where you are going to dance, you are going to sweat, you have to prevent the glitter from starting to fall all over the face and give it a dirty look,” he added. Regarding where to use it, Ruiz stated that in the eyes “the ideal is to do it at certain points, which can be in the tear or on the movable eyelid”. He also said it can be used in the mouth, but it’s too much if it’s used on eyes and lips at once, “unless it’s in the mouth and only a point in tears,” he said. And if you have a dress that is glitter simulation filling your face with glitter is already something like for theme party. Ideally, we always regulate the amounts of shine we’re going to occupy,” she added.
