It's still up for debate as to whether adult women should wear glitter; some are vehemently opposed to anyone wearing the shiny stuff past the age of 15. And usually, I'd count myself in that category. Truthfully, this gorgeous little pot of MAC's "Solar Bits" in Scatterrays was sitting on my countertop for a good month, and while I'd open it to marvel at its sparkly, golden loveliness once in a while, I hadn't mustered the courage to wear it. But. It's summer, it's dang hot, and I want to go with my glow and not fight it. Luckily, Solar Bits isn't all-out Mariah Carey Glitter (so we're not talking disco-ball-sized particles of shiny stuff, even though it may look that way in the pot) but more of a "glimmer": more gleamy than shimmer, but it's easily controlled. You can wear a thin veil and get a lovely, sheer iridescence or go for the gold with the crushed-up clusters to rev up the shine. Granted, it's not really an office, daytime look, but on balmy nights out, it can look quite fetching. One hint: use sparingly so as not to blind others with your glare-of-a-thousand-suns gaze.
