The Look: I wanted something I could pair with a bold lip, so I swept Too Faced Glamour Dust, $17, in Nude Beam all over my eyelid, with some matte brown shadow in the crease to balance it. I used the brand's Glitter Glue Glitter Shadow Primer, $20, beforehand so it wouldn't fall into my eyes. The formula is slightly tacky, which helped it grasp every little particle of shimmer.

Sister Says: "So pretty! I love how it's subtle enough you could wear it during the day, but with the lip it could definitely work for night as well."

Others' Reactions: Oddly enough, it was the lipstick, not the glitter, which garnered me compliments. I found that no one was fazed by the fact that I had giant sparkles on my eyelids -- not just with this look, but with all the other looks as well. Proving that glitter is in fact appropriate for any and all occasions.

My Comfort Level: It pains me to admit this, but by the end of the week I was experiencing what my editor dubbed a "glitter hangover." There was glitter all over my apartment, on my dogs, in my hair and, no matter how many times I washed my face, there were these annoying flecks on my cheeks that wouldn't go away. To add insult to injury, putting on glitter makeup every day takes a hell of a lot longer than your regular makeup. But, to be perfectly honest, I'll probably be back to wearing glitter next weekend.
