These Grown-Up Glitter Eyeliners Are All You Need For NYE

New Year's Eve is a time where many of us tend to swap our failsafe eye makeup look (a simple slick of kohl eyeliner and a swipe of mascara) for something a little more adventurous. But forget intricate cut creases, expertly executed wings and accidentally perfect smokey eyes. Thanks to glitter eyeliner, you don't have to be a master of makeup to achieve something cool.

The only hitch? There are a surprisingly limited pool of brands who are kicking out the shiny stuff in shades and formulas suitable for adults. Because we aren't looking for the saccharine hues developed for kids and costuming (and in formulas that get absolutely everywhere), we've rounded up the best glitter eyeliners that stay in place, shift colour in the light, and make your party vibe pop — no bottles required.
