Make Like Carey Mulligan and Go Sparkly With Your Shadow

Nothing says Party Season like sparkly shadow.

Nothing says Party Season like sparkly shadow. 'Tis true. Even Carey Mulligan says so. She was at the Moet British Independent Film Awards in London last night and — aside from debuting look #362 from Carey Mulligan's Guide to Short Hair — she was sporting some sparkly champagne shadow all around the eye which looked all pretty and feminine and Christmas-y. It's one of the easiest looks to master (tip: always prime the eye) and looks great with a bold lip. Or, you can pick a punchy sparkly shadow and create a sultry look that way. I LOVE the sparkly lilac in Bobbi Brown's Beauty Rules Notebook Palette ($115) for this look and here are some of our other favourite sparkly shadows for party season . . . Cute look, huh?
