glamourised
Given false sparkle
Glamourised is a British spelling of glamorized, the past tense of glamorize.
To glamorize something is to make it seem more attractive, exciting, or appealing than it really is: The film glamourised organized crime.
The word often carries a note of criticism—suggesting that something dangerous or unpleasant has been given a deceptively attractive sheen.
