This $11 Maybelline product instantly transforms any party outfit (and you’ll wear it all December)

Warning: Do you think you need a new sequin dress to be party-ready? The invitations fall, the offices are adorned with garlands, the windows sparkle, and yet your outfit seems wise. It’s missing that light detail that instantly takes a look from everyday to party mode.

What if this twist came from your eyelashes? An inexpensive glitter mascara is enough to liven up a black dress, a velvet suit or jeans. This is the promise of the Maybelline Sky High Gold Glitz mascara, a golden top coat for around $11.

Why Maybelline Sky High Gold Glitz Mascara is a party favourite?

This mascara is part of the cult Maybelline Sky High family, which has become a best-seller thanks to its length and volume duo. The Gold Glitz version uses the same Flex Tower brush, flexible to catch each eyelash, with a transparent formula full of golden micro-glitters for a luminous effect.

Sold for around $11 at British beauty brands, which amounts to around a dozen euros, it remains an accessible beauty gift. Just one coat is enough to transform a classic black mascara into an evening look, without affecting the rest of your makeup or your budget.

How to wear Sky High Gold Glitz to boost an outfit

What appeals is its versatility. On bare lashes, it just leaves a veil of glitter, perfect with a suit or shirt dress. On a black mascara, it gives a more intense look, ideal to accompany a shiny dress or a rhinestone top without overloading the face.

Makeup artists advise letting your classic mascara dry then applying Gold Glitz with light touches. Some ideas:

  • over the entire length of the eyelashes for a confident festive effect;
  • only on the tips for a subtle result in the office;
  • in a fine touch along the lower lash line, like a shimmering liner.

Glitter Mascara, Sensitive Eyes and Tips with Sky High Gold Glitz

According to Maybelline, the Sky High formula is enriched with bamboo extract and ophthalmologically tested, making it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. The range includes the Space Diamond and Rose Gold Glitz versions, for silver or pink highlights, with the same light and washable texture.

Optometrists point out that glitter products require precautions: avoid the roots of the eyelashes, do not rub the eyes and remove makeup with an eye makeup remover to dissolve the particles. The idea is to enjoy these shimmering lashes all month long, without discomfort.
