How to Create Glitter Freckles

How to Create Bold Glitter Freckles That Stay Put All Night ✨🌟

Forget subtle shimmer - chunky glitter freckles are here to make a statement! Whether you're hitting a festival, a party, or just want to turn heads with serious sparkle, this look is bold, fun, and guaranteed to shine.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to create long-lasting glitter freckles using chunky and super chunky biodegradable glitter and a high-performance fixative to keep your sparkle locked in all night.


What Are Glitter Freckles?

Glitter freckles are a bold twist on natural freckles, using large glitter pieces to create a scattered, high-impact shimmer across your face. Unlike traditional fine glitter freckles, this look is all about chunky, eye-catching sparkle in mixed sizes and colours.


What You’ll Need:

Super Chunky Biodegradable Glitter – Mix and match sizes for the best freckle effect. Our Sparkle Range & Holographic blends work perfectly!
PaintGlow Glitter Fix Gel – A strong, skin-safe fixative that keeps chunky glitter in place all day.
A Small Brush or Dotting Tool – For precise application.
Setting Spray – To seal the deal and prevent fallout.


How to Apply Chunky Glitter Freckles

1️⃣ Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, dry skin. If you’re wearing makeup, keep your base matte so the fixative grips better.

2️⃣ Apply Glitter Fix Gel: Use a dotting tool or small brush to place tiny dots of fixative where you want your freckles - cheeks, nose, or even collarbones for extra sparkle.

3️⃣ Press on the Glitter: Using a fingertip or brush, pick up chunky glitter pieces and gently press them onto the fixative while it’s still tacky. Mix fine and super chunky pieces for a natural, scattered look.

4️⃣ Let It Dry: Give the fixative a minute to set before touching your face.

5️⃣ Lock It In: Spray a light mist of setting spray over the area to reduce fallout and keep your freckles looking fresh all night!
