I have only the fondest memories of body glitter. As a young, horrifically awkward girl, I would smear the stuff all over my face, chest, legs, you name it. I’m not ashamed of it either – if you were old enough to be a blind trend follower in the ate nineties, you probably did it too. If you weren’t, you missed out on one of the most fabulously tacky beauty rituals of a better time and I feel sorry for you.
Now, if you wore body glitter in like, 2006, you would have probably been on the receiving end of tons of criticism. After a trend goes out of style there’s always a period where it becomes the most vile thing ever, at least according to the masses. But I can safely say that body glitter happened so long ago that it has sailed past its low point – now you can wear some shimmer on your face and body without looking like a complete fashion disaster. In fact, a little sheen will tie you that gorgeous dewy, healthy glow. It’s just a matter of using one of these more tasteful products – and maybe opting for subtle shimmer as opposed to all-out glitter.
