No matter where you're from, how old you are, or what you do for a living, glitter is the universal trend that we could all use a little bit more of in our lives. With temperatures dropping and Christmas rapidly approaching, it's becoming increasingly clear that it's time to switch out our warm fall makeup palettes for some cool winter swatches, and adding glitter in the mix is never a bad idea.

From metallic and frosted lips to bold and shimmery eyeshadows and liners, these celebs are all the makeup inspiration you need to level up your sparkle and slay TF out of your next holiday soirée.

Naomi Campbell is a force of nature whose motto when it comes to beauty is go hard or go home, and it's clear that sis isn't headed for retirement anytime soon. Although this particular Pat McGrath lip kit is no longer available, you can recreate Naomi's 2016 VMA Red Carpet look with the Burlesque Kit from Stay Golden.

Karrueche Tran can do no wrong in my eyes, and this shimmering purple eyeshadow from Huda Beauty is proof that sometimes a pop of color and some glitter are all you need to be poppin AF all damn day.

As women we are taught, directly and indirectly, to put others first. Whether it’s our romantic partners, kids, parents, friends, or even our jobs.
