This year has been associated with pastel colors that scream a vintage vibe. Almost every other shirt, cap, makeup, bag has those colors. But that was just the first half of the year.

Then return the mermaids, unicorns, intergalactic themes and now, shimmer. Highlights and sparkles for the gods.

I guess for the second half of 2017 all that shimmers is gold. We're talking glitter, color, and metallic.

Naturally, makeup brands didn't come last in taking a ride on this trend. Sephora highlights ~dunno if that's a pun but it's intended~ new cult brands that caters to the new glittery trend.

Beauty Bakerie

What started as an artistic outlet for founder Cashmere Nicole quickly grew into a worldwide sensation for those with a sweet tooth for makeup.

Beauty Bakerie is a cosmetics line ranging from sweet-as-honey Lip Whips to vegan Flour Setting Powder. The brand is committed to making beauty better—not bitter—with high-quality ingredients and an attitude that’s unapologetically sweet.

Rituel De Fille

Rituel de Fille was founded by three sisters who were inspired by the magical side of natural ingredients, and the ritualistic, ceremonial power of pigment. As accomplished artists, all three bring a unique vision to our colors and imagery. 

Every Rituel de Fille color is obsessively formulated in-house by the Ramos sisters to meet exacting standards. They approach formulation like potion-making: carefully selecting each pigment, oil and wax for a clear purpose, and develop each color from the ground up to contain the fewest possible ingredients. They use nothing extraneous, and avoid fillers. This attention to detail creates intense color while maintaining velvety textures. 

There are three Rituel de Fille products available on Sephora now - The Ash and Ember Eye Soot Eyeshadow, Rare Light Luminizer, and the Inner Glow Crème Pigment.

Inspired by London’s eclectic vibe, British entrepreneur Sasha Muir and premier fashion manicurist Nonie Creme have developed highly pigmented, non-toxic nail lacquers that give long-lasting wear.

Look to butter LONDON for on-trend colours in only nail polish and face makeup that boasts carcinogen-free formulations.
