How to Create Emily Ratajkowski's Glitter Eye Minus the Fallout

The holidays provide the perfect opportunity for glamour and glitz.
While you may not be a glitter enthusiast day-to-day, the sparkle of the decorated trees and metallic hues of the season are calling you to amp up your look.

"You want to be as unexpected as possible," style influencer Morgan Stewart suggested during the holiday edition of Happy Hour with Morgan Stewart. "You want to wear things that will surprise people."
If your wardrobe is relatively simple or classic, makeup is the best way to level up your ensemble without breaking the bank. Case in point: Emily Ratajkowski's brilliant blue eye makeup.

Created by Hung Vanngo, this impactful look complements the texture and hue of the model's gown. Paired with a nude lip, brilliant blush and subtle highlights, it adds drama and glamour—two things you need on the red carpet and during the holiday season.
The best part: While her makeup is stunning, it's easy to recreate. And, don't worry, the glitter won't get all over the place by adding one simple hack. Check out our tutorial below, courtesy of PRIV makeup artist John Pearce!
