Is it just me, or does everyone suddenly want to look like Katy Perry à la E.T.? So they might want to look like aliens, but I can tell you one thing, it sure as hell looks good!
Adding that iridescent glow to your face instantly makes you look like you’re from out of this world, and when it comes to beauty, ethereal really is the way to go.
A whole bunch of beauty brands have hopped on to this holographic makeup trend lately. What the products do is look translucent, but they change colour in different lighting. Kind of like those holographic nails we were all obsessed with last year, but much milder.
Here are some of the brands giving it a shot, and they cover pretty much everything — from the cheeks and eyes to the lips, as well.
Milk Makeup Holographic Stick
A universal stick that does everything, from giving you E.T.-approved cheekbones to holographic eyes, and even a shine on your lips, if you fancy it.

Sigma Beauty Lip Switch
This is the brand that ignited this holographic craze in everyone.

P.S. if you don’t want to buy any of these, how about doing a quick DIY? It’s more on the unicorn side — not extra terrestrial, but mythical for sure!
