One of our favorite things about the holidays—in addition to family gatherings and lots of gift giving—is the multitude of glamorous beauty looks that go hand-in-hand with the season. To channel the sparkle of the holidays without going overboard, using glitter eyeliner from brands like Urban Decay and Half Magic Beauty is a fun and easy way to elevate an everyday cat-eye.
And since these liners are not only supremely pigmented but also light-catching, they make doing the rest of your makeup a breeze—just add your favorite nude lip color or gloss and let your eyes handle the heavy lifting. Plus, many of these best-selling essentials can even be worn as both a liner or a shadow for added versatility. Ahead, we've pulled together 11 of the best glitter eyeliner formulas to shop now for a next-level statement lash line.
