You get the gist.….
Sparkles, shimmers and sequins. 2023 was definitely the year of Taylor Swift, and she says it best, “Make the whole place shimmer.” Therefore, it’s obvious we take her advice for starting 2024.

Here at Loop Magazine, we are all for making a statement and have collected a list of our favorite makeup products that will have you as stunning as the ball during the midnight drop.
From eye products to bronzer to the perfect lip, keep scrolling to see create the ultimate new years look whether you want to end 2023 with a subtle shimmer or bejeweled bang.

$10
Use it as eyeshadow, eyeliner or both. The Maybelline Color Tattoo Long Wear Stix is perfect for all your eye makeup needs from painting your whole lid to making a precise wing. Our personal favorite is the rose gold for that new years shimmer, but there are 16 color options including both shimmers and mattes.

Get the consistency and long wear of a lipstick but the shine of a sparkly lip gloss with the Revlon Super Lustrous Glass shine lipstick. Also available in a variety of colors, there’s a shade for every outfit and makeup look imaginable.

Anyone who is a fan of sparkly makeup looks knows about Urban Decay’s iconic Moondust eyeshadow. Now, they’ve taken the formula and put it into four color palettes for the ultimate shimmer eye look. The vegan formula lasts up to 16 hours after application, so you can dance past midnight with no worries. Our favorite color combination is Space Rider, but there is also the equally stunning Galactic Cowgirl.

Are you wearing makeup or just have a natural glow? It’s the question everyone will be asking if you use the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer. Designed to give a dewy look, this highlighter easily glides on and blends in with the skin. There’s a variety of colors for weather you want a golden, silver or even shimmering pink undertone.
ColourPop Gold Dust Glitter Gel

If you only ever buy one thing from ColourPop, it needs to be their iconic glitter gel. The formula doesn’t feel sticky on one’s skin and is long lasting. It’s perfect to enhance eye looks, use on top of highlighter or even create abstract sparkle designs.

The shimmer doesn’t have to stop at the face. Make your whole body look like a disco ball with the viral body glitter. It easily sprays on to immediately give your skin some sparkle that will look shining under any light from the streetlights outside your local bar to the flashing lights in a club.

One of the best highlighters to help one achieve that is the Fenty Beauty Killawat Freestyle highlighter that has enough shine to compete with New Years firworks. No worries if the pink trend isn’t for you, as this product comes in all the traditional highlighter shades.
