Glitter, slowly on the rise for the past few fashion seasons, seems to be here to stay.
This isn’t the first time glitter has made its way onto the runways — last season, it was featured at Altuzarra, Fendi and Alice + Olivia. Unlike the rollerball glitter of the late Nineties, makeup and nail artists at New York Fashion Week seemed to prefer the loose kind, which was pressed onto eyes and nails.
Pep Gay for MAC alternated glitter with drawn-in lower lashes for Tadashi Shoji on Thursday, where Teresa King and Lisa Lee for LVX dusted nail tips with three shades of glitter. “Tadashi got inspired with his collection by Jimi Hendrix, the late-Sixties-early-Seventies women’s liberation and all that fun around that,” Gay said.
Over at Ulla Johnson, glitter made its appearance on the nail. Jessica Tong for Smith & Cult created a reverse French manicure, using a nude pink called Ghost Edit as the base, with Shattered Souls, a chunky, gold glitter, along the cuticles.
At LRS, makeup artist Erin Parsons used silver glitter in multiple ways. For some models, she crafted a silver oval shape on the eye as shadow, and for others, she dipped the lower lashes in silver glitter.
Polly Osmond for MAC created a rust-colored glitter tear over at Christian Siriano.
