GLITTER VERSUS SHIMMER

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GLITTER AND SHIMMER IS ONE OF TEXTURE AND SIZE. GLITTER TENDS TO HAVE LARGER SPARKLY PIECES, WHICH CAN OFFER A BIT OF A 3D EFFECT, WHEREAS SHIMMERY FINISHES HAVE SMALLER SPARKLY PARTICLES THAT HAVE MORE OF A VELVETY TEXTURE. IF SHIMMER IS VELVET, THEN GLITTER IS SEQUINS.
