10 Products For the Viral Sugar Plum Fairy Makeup Look
When it comes to sugar plum fairy makeup, SHEGLAM has you covered!
It still feels like summer outside, but don't tell that to the sugar plum fairy. The holiday season's glitziest, ritziest, wand-waving icon is showing up and showing off right now, with a beauty trend that's all about festive sparkle and sugary sweet pastel hues. The viral look has caught fire across social media and is big on the festival makeup scene. (If you haven't felt the burning desire to frost your cheekbones and lids with a dusting of pink that looks like it could have been taken directly from a pastry chef's shelf, well, just wait.)
The trend isn't all about sugar-frosted treats, though. Per the name, the OG fairy is the inspiration behind the carefully sculpted makeup look. Imagine the most ethereal, dainty, tutu-clad ballerina. Got her in mind? Okay, now look at her face. It's sparkly and shimmery all over, right? Exactly.
And if we're going with the whole ballerina thing, think about which parts of the face that high-wattage stage lighting will be hitting. (Hello cheekbones!). Lips are another major area not to miss, and they'll be their most sugar-plummy with something like SHEGLAM's Pout-Perfect Shimmer Lip Plumper. It's packed with micro glitter pieces for ultra sparkle, yet the formula is more moisturizing than sticky, which is a "yes!" always, but especially so if you're supposed to be spinning and twirling en pointe.
The beauty bottom line? Nailing sugar plum fairy makeup is easy (and doesn't require years of dance training). Combine balletcore inspiration with centerstage makeup plus a heavy dash of sparkle and shine, et voilà: You're ready to grant some major wishes.
This cult-favorite solid balm now includes six new options in shimmery shades to go along with the high-gloss original line. Made with moisturizing coconut oil, it adds the perfect bit of shine wherever. Swipe it on your lips, then on eyes, cheeks, chin...you get the idea. Three of these new glimmering shades are colors from the OG line—Pink Flamingo, Sepia Kiss, and First Crush—for a glittery new take on beloved hues.
Blush is key to nailing the slightly out-of-breath, flushed look that all fairies naturally have from flitting and bopping about. The planetary inspired shape of this find is cute, but it also makes swiping it on your cheeks easy. Bonus: Wear it as a lip color if you've misplaced your balm.
The poutiest pout comes courtesy of uber-defined lips. Make the best possible canvas for your glittery gloss with a complementary liner. Smudge-proof, long-lasting, and with a sharpener on the cap (let's be honest, you'd have to work hard to lose that), it's a win, win, win.
We know the sugar plum fairy would drink lots of water, get all her beauty sleep, and have a stellar skincare routine. You need a good base for the best glow, and, with this serum-primer hybrid featuring niacinamide and watermelon fruit extract, you get a nice boost of extra-ethereal hydration.
Fancy a lip look that's more high-shine than sparkle? (Sugar plums need their options!) This hydrating glaze combines the glossy finish of a liquid lipstick with the lip-line fighting, moisture-giving aspects of a lip serum and mask. A standalone hero that looks damn good working hard—sound familiar?
This side-by-side twosome is for the makeup artiste who's all about playing and building. Powder and cream blushes give you the option to pick whichever you're feeling or mix 'em together for the most stage-worthy look. Take a BOW.
Batting eyelashes coquettishly is pretty much a prerequisite for the whole sugar plum fairy vibe—and if you need your flirt to be seen from the cheap seats, you've gotta pull out the big guns. This volumizing, lengthening formula has two different applicators that can be doubled up for a high-wattage look. Plus, the burgundy color complements green, hazel, and brown eyes (and intensifies icy blue stares).
If it's not already super clear, a natural flush is key to getting the viral look just right. Layer away with this sheer stick until you get the color saturation you want, blending it up the cheekbone, over the bridge of the nose, and directly on your lips (because, yep, it's designed for both).
Okay, there's no glitter or sparkle in this makeup-bag must, per se, but it's part of making the overall effect pop. The finely milled pressed powder helps brighten up the under-eye area while the loose powder gives your entire face a fairy-like glow (and is fantastic for oil control, too).
A good brow is a must no matter what look you're working to create. Its pulled-together polish is definitely something the queen ballerina would have nailed, and this clear gloss is a universal winner. For extra sugar plum shine, use the spatula end of the brush to flatten your brows for a laminated look.
