With the onset of the festive season or holiday parties – or sometimes just a random Wednesday – comes a whole lot of glitter. There’s no denying the fact that glitter is one of the best ways to jazz up any beauty look, but unfortunately, it comes with a pretty major downside: Glitter is terribly bad for the environment. Why? Well, for one, it is made up of tiny plastic particles that, when washed down the drain or thrown in the bin, can have a devastating impact on nature and animals.
But don’t you fret, as present-day brands are creating incredible biodegradable glitter. So if you love shimmer, sparkle, twinkle, glow, glimmer, and all synonyms for “ooh shiny” – we’re here to help you assure your glitter obsession isn’t harming sea creatures. If you wish to make your next glistening moment guilt-free, scroll on to find the best sustainable glitter eyeshadows.
