Glitter is usually sidelined as a festival look, or an accessory you dab on to make an office Christmas party more jazzy. But at Anna Sui they tried something new. Models’ eyes were left bare save for the most delicate stripe of shimmering silver down the middle of the lids. It was subtle enough that, if they didn’t blink, you’d miss it. Anna Sui said it represented “optimism”. Surely we could all benefit from trying that at home.
