In this blog, we’ll guide you through using glitter and bold colours effectively to ensure you shine bright at every festival.

Shine Bright with Glitter and Bold Colours

Festivals are all about expressing yourself, and there’s no better way to do that than with dazzling glitter and vibrant hues. Whether you prefer a subtle shimmer or a full-on glitter explosion, these tips will help you apply these looks flawlessly.

The Art of Glitter Makeup

Applying glitter can be tricky, but with the right techniques, you can achieve a stunning, long-lasting look. Here’s how:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturised face. Apply a primer to ensure your makeup stays put all day.
2. Choose the Right Glitter: Use cosmetic-grade glitter, which is safe for your skin and eyes. Avoid craft glitter, which can cause irritation.
3. Application Technique: Use a glitter adhesive or gel to help the glitter stick. Apply it with a flat brush or your fingertips. Tap the glitter onto your eyelids or desired area for a uniform look.
4. Layering: For a more intense look, layer different shades of glitter. This creates depth and adds dimension to your makeup.
5. Fixing Mist: Seal your look with a setting spray to keep the glitter in place and prevent fallout.

Bold Colours: Making a Statement

Bold colours are perfect for making a statement. Here’s how to incorporate them into your festival makeup:

1. Eyeshadow Palettes: Choose a palette with vibrant shades. Start with a neutral base, then apply bold colours to your eyelids, blending well for a seamless finish.
2. Liners and Mascaras: Coloured eyeliners and mascaras add a pop of colour to your look. Experiment with blues, greens, and purples for a fun twist.
3. Lips: Bold lips can elevate your entire look. Choose long-lasting lipsticks in bright shades like red, pink, or orange.
4. Blending: Use clean brushes to blend colours smoothly. Blending is key to preventing harsh lines and creating a cohesive look.
