How to Apply Face Glitter – Step-by-Step Guide

💖 Step-by-Step: How to Apply Glitter to Your Face

Step 1: Start with a clean base
Cleanse and dry your face before applying any product. Optional: add foundation or setting powder first for longer wear.

Step 2: Apply a glitter base
Dab on a safe adhesive (like aloe vera gel or cosmetic glue) to cheeks, temples, or under-eye area - wherever you want glitter to sit.

Step 3: Tap on your glitter
Use a small brush or finger to press glitter into the adhesive. Try mixing fine and chunky glitter for a layered effect.

Step 4: Blend and build
Blend out edges using your finger for a seamless look. Add more layers for extra sparkle.

Step 5: Set your look
Optional: Use a setting spray to lock in your sparkle and prevent fallout.

💡 Pro Tip: Add glitter after your base makeup but before mascara or liner for the cleanest results.
