1. Light Up Your Look with Glitter Makeup!
When you’re looking for a way to give your look a sparkle, glitter makeup is a great option! If you’re feeling brave, you can go all in and apply it all over your face and body. Or you can opt for a subtler and more subtle approach. Either way, here’s how to pull it off:
- Gently exfoliate your skin to remove any dead cells that may interfere with your application.
- Prep your skin with primer for a more even adhesive layer.
- Use a sticky base, like clear glue or glitter gel, to make sure everything sticks.
- Layer! Lightly dip your brush or sponge in the glue, grab a pinch of glitter and apply in an even layer.
- Repeat the process until you reach your desired level of sparkle.
Mixing up the colors and sizes of the glitter particles will help you create a more intricate and interesting look. For an added dramatic touch, try applying it around just one of your eyes like a glittery cat-eye, perfect for a night out! Finish off with a glitter lip color and you’re ready for your closeup.
Glitter makeup is perfect for any special occasion or just for fun, and you’ll be sure to turn plenty of heads with this fabulously glittery look.
2. A Step-By-Step Glitter Makeup Tutorial You Can Follow
Applying Glitter for that Perfect Look
- Prep your skin by exfoliating and moisturizing.
- Add a primer or base to your eyelids, lips, and other areas on your face where you’d like to apply glitter.
To ensure your glitter stays in place, you’ll need to begin by applying an adhesive. Try out a glitter glue, which is specially formulated to hold glitter in place. Once you’ve applied an even layer of the adhesive, it’s time to move onto glitter application.
Whether you’re going for a classic glitter look or want to spice up your makeup with an eye-catching touch of sparkle, choose a color range that fits whatever look you’re going for. Gently pat the glitter onto your sticky base. It’s wise to use an eye shadow brush to do this – it’ll help blend the colors together better for more coverage.
Once your sparkles are in place, blend it around the edges to create a seamless look. You can also use a smudge brush or a cotton swab. Be sure the glitter is evenly settled into the skin. Finish off the look with a setting spray. Now your sparkling self is ready to enjoy a night out!
3. Stand Out From the Crowd with Sparkly Makeup
Nothing helps you stand apart from a crowded room like sparkly makeup. Drawing attention, yet still being subtle, sparkly makeup is the perfect addition to draw others eyes to your look. Let’s dive into some ways you can use sparkly makeup to make a bold statement:
- For the eyes, a glitter eyeshadow is the perfect way to add a little bit of sparkle. Try colors such as white, light pink, or golden for a more subtle look. You can also pair it with a matte eyeshadow shade of the same color to really make it stand out.
- For the lips, you can add a little shimmer to the middle of your lips to give it a fuller look. You can use a lip gloss that has a bit of shimmer, or you can opt for a light pink metallic shade.
- If you’d rather go full glam, you can add a dramatic glitter eyeshadow look. Choose a glitter eyeshadow in a shade that contrasts with your skin tone and incorporate a few shades of the same color into the makeup look. Add some eyeliner and lash extensions to complete the look.
The key to pulling off sparkly makeup looks is to utilize the right amount of sparkle. Too much glitter can make you look over the top, so it’s best to start with a light shade of a sparkly eyeshadow and build from there. By using the right combination of products and colors you can easily create a sparkly makeup look that is sure to turn heads wherever you go.

5. Revitalize Your Routine—Keep It Fresh with Glitter Makeup
Ready to add a little sparkle to your makeup routine? Glitter makeup is the perfect way to give your look an extra bit of glam and a whole new level of pizzazz. Here’s what you need to know about adding glitter for a fresh, modern look.
Choose the right kind of glitter There are a lot of types of glitter available, so it’s important you choose the right consistency for your face. If you plan on using it on your eyelids or around the eyes, it should be a finer glitter – the larger particles of glitter might be too irritating. Choosing the right glitter will help you avoid potential skin irritations.
Apply the glitter the right way The best way to apply glitter makeup is to use a dampened brush. Gently tap the glitter or dab the makeup onto the face with a brush, and you’ll immediately see the sparkle. You can also use a flat, firm brush to press the glitter into the makeup. Of course, if you’re using glitter specifically for eye makeup, the best course is to use a thinner brush and use much more caution.
