How To Apply Glitter Face Makeup

Ok so you’re ready to move on to the next step in your makeup journey, which is to apply glitter face makeup!  It can be a lot of fun to work with.  Whether you’re doing a trendy music festival look, Halloween makeup, or beautiful birthday makeup, glitter can make it stand out even more.

But there’s just one question you have – how do you apply glitter to the face?  Not to worry, I’ve got you covered!

What You Need To Apply Glitter Face Makeup

In order to apply loose glitter to your face, you’ll need a glitter primer.  Sometimes they’re called “glitter glue” or “glitter adhesive.”

Glitter primer will help the glitter stick to your skin and minimize any glitter fallout.

There are a ton of glitter primers to choose from, but this one is my favorite.

How To Apply Glitter To The Face

Step 1

How to apply glitter to the face

Apply glitter primer to the area of your face where you plan to add some glitter.  I just use my fingers for this.

Step 2

Now pick up some glitter with your fingers or an eyeshadow brush and press it on to the area where you added the glitter primer.  Keep doing this until the area is covered with as much glitter as you’d like.  That’s pretty much it!  Make sure the glitter you are using is safe to use on the face.

I find that using an eyeshadow brush tends to pick up and deposit more glitter for a heavier application.  So if you prefer less glitter than I would recommend using your finger to slowly build it up (like I did in the picture below).

So go and get your glitter on, girl 😉
