Continue reading this article and we’ll present seven simple techniques for using both loose and pressed glitters on your face!
Use Glitter Around Your Face
1) Glitter Around Your Eyes
Glitter under your eyes can be tricky because it can be hard to control how it’s applied. If using loose glitter, be especially wary as its application may become unruly over time.
Your hands and face may end up covered in glitter! If using pressed glitter, use very light strokes when applying it directly under each eye with a blunt tip eyeliner brush.
Add some glittery flair to your eye makeup by applying shimmery eyeshadow all over your eyelid, then adding loose glitter in the center just above your crease as an eye makeup accent.
As soon as light hits your eyelid, it will reflect off of the glitter and create an eye-catching shimmery effect directly above your eyes.
Apply pressed glitter directly to the center of your eyelid, then blend out with eyeshadow for an easier application and less obvious look.
One of our favorite techniques to add glittery shimmer under your eyes is using glittery highlighter as an ethereal, shimmering look.
2) Glitter On Your Lips
Your Lips One easy way to add glitter to your lips is through applying glitter lip gloss; there are plenty of affordable and high end glitter gloss options on the market.
Glitter lips can add some shimmer and shine to any makeup routine, from special occasions like prom night to casual attire like brunch with the girls. When using loose glitter on lips, use caution!
Before applying glitter makeup, use a glitter adhesive. Glitter adhesives will secure it to your lips so it doesn’t fall off during wear and tear.
We suggest the It Cosmetics Confidence in a Lip(tm) glitter lip gloss as it comes equipped with an adhesive to secure its glitter particles in place. For creating gradient lips, apply glitter just in the center of lips before spreading across both halves as desired.
Lip gloss or lipstick will then be applied over it, creating an even surface. Or, you could apply glitter with a lip brush and blend it out using either your finger or Q-tip, for an eye-catching glittery lip that won’t overwhelm. This creates a striking, glittery lip sure to draw stares from others!
3) Glitter For Highlight
Whan you want to add extra shimmer and shimmery highlighter, you could try using shimmery highlighter or loose glitter over the regular highlight.
This trick works especially well on cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, cupid’s bows, and brow bones.
Apply glitter over your regular highlight using either your fingertips or a clean, dry brush. Pat it onto the skin so it doesn’t come off, or create a gradient effect by applying just to the tops of your cheekbones with a dry brush.
Blend it out with your existing highlight. If you prefer glitter highlights for your brow bone or cupid’s bow, a clean spoolie may help apply it evenly across the skin surface.
If you want a full glitter face look, you can apply loose glitter on high points and anywhere you desire for extra shine.
4) Glitter On Your Face With Glow Kit
Glow kits can add a subtle glow to your skin. For added shimmer, use glittery highlighter or blush in addition to glow kits.
Look for glitter products with subtle pink or berry tones so they match your blush and highlighter shades. Our favorite way to use glitter on our faces is with glitter blush!
Milani Baked Blush in Glitzy Glow and Rose Gold are packed with glitter! We love their glamorous makeup designs!
These blushes are perfect for long-wearing wear thanks to their baked formula, meaning they won’t slip off your face during wear. For an added glitter touch, apply glitter highlighter or eyeshadow along your cheekbones for added shine and brilliance.
Put on glitter eyeshadow to the center of your cheeks and blend out using a fluffy blush brush; or apply glitter highlighter on the tops of cheekbones and cupid’s bow for an eye-catching finish.
5) Glitter On Your Face With Metallic Paint
Metallic paint offers an effective solution for adding glitter without worrying that it will come loose and fall off over time.
Metallic paint comes in an assortment of colors and finishes to allow you to achieve different looks every time you use it. We suggest the Morphe 35B Paint Pot since it’s specially formulated to avoid facial irritation.
If you want to add glitter to the apples of your cheeks and cupid’s bow, simply dab a bit of glitter over your metallic paint and pat down to ensure it remains in place.
To use glittery paint on your cheeks, first apply metallic paint over your cheekbones with a clean flat brush, followed by applying glitter using another clean flat brush over the surface of the paint. Finally, pat any excess glitter onto it using another clean flat brush – all this should help give a sparkly effect on the face!
6) Glitter On Your Face With Champagne

Champagne sprays dry without creating much texture, so that your makeup doesn’t appear like it was hit with an explosion of glitter.
