The highlighter trend that will take your Christmas party make-up look to the next level.

When it comes to beauty trends, 2016 has certainly been the year of the highlighter. Make-up artists cannot get enough of using illuminating creams and powders to give clients an enviable glow.

Using highlighter on all the high points of your face even has its own term now – strobing.

UK Make-up lover Katie Elizabeth Butt has taken the use of highlighter products to a whole new level by covering her entire face in glitter. Yes, really.

Butt took to Instagram to share the super sparkly make-up look with her over 12k followers. From her eyeshadow to her blush, every product on her face sparkles. Butt calls the look “glitter face.”

By using different shades of glitter, Butt has given her face plenty of dimension, much like the popular contouring make-up trend. She completes the look with a set of false eyelashes.

While you’d have to be pretty brave to sport “glitter face” in public, Christmas is the perfect time to embrace a little glitter in your beauty routine.
