Is Glitter for Girls Alone?

I am changing my mind about glitter.

For the longest time, shimmery makeup has just  seemed so...juvenile.

The sort of stuff you expect to see adorning the taught cheekbones of an exuberant  16-year-old. It doesn't help that most of the stuff comes in packaging that resembles bubblegum.

But the latest Holiday collection from M.A.C. made me reconsider my assumptions. Called "Magic, Mirth & Mischief," it contains reflective colors that actually work well on a face like mine. That is to say, one that does not resemble that of a 16-year-old by any stretch of the imagination.

In particular, I am liking the golden and purple hues like the shadow above. Lip gloss in the collection is less sparkly than you might think. And all in all, I think the winter pallet would look lovely at holiday party.

Now if I can only finagle an invitation or two.


Get M.A.C.'s Magic, Mirth & Mischief collection at M.A.C. counters.  The Cremesheen Glass gloss above is $18. The Mineralized Eye Shadow Duo is $19.50.
