6 Cheer Beauty Secrets Revealed

Wearable Shimmer

When you think of cheerleading makeup, glitter probably comes to mind. But who wants full-on body glitter off the field? Um, no one.

At the same time, a little shimmer never hurt anyone. So how can you incorporate it into your beauty routine without looking too over-the-top? Segundo recommends using glitter in subtler ways to create a soft shimmer look.

“Go for glitters that are smaller in particle size to get the wow factor without that full-on glitter effect,” says Segundo. “I adore lip glosses that use smaller glitter that appears more like mega shine.” (Try Manic Panic Glitter Powder Shadow, $7.59, for a bold look that’s not too dramatic.)

“Or try adding a dot of light colored shimmer on the center of the eyelid as a final touch to your shadow,” says Segundo. “Adding a super fine glitter to the inner corner of the eye can make the eyes really pop!” Lastly, Wet N Wild Megashimmer Body Powder, $3, is great for your face and eye makeup, or anywhere you want an added hint of sparkle.
