Unleash Your Inner Diva with Festival Glitter

Festival season is upon us, and it's time to embrace the sparkle and shine that define these joyous celebrations. Whether you're a seasoned festival-goer or a first-timer, incorporating glitter into your makeup can elevate your look and express your wild side. Here's how to make 'Viva' and 'Wild' synonymous with your festival glitter style.

1. Glittery Eyelashes: The Viva Glam Look

Take inspiration from the runways with glittery false eyelashes that add a touch of glamour to your ensemble. Opt for glittery false lashes and trim them to fit only your outer corners for a subtle yet striking effect. Alternatively, apply a full strip of tinsel lashes and dab extra glitter on the inner corners of your eyes to complete the look.

2. Glitter Freckles: Embrace Your Wild Side

Transform traditional faux freckles into a glittering masterpiece. Apply adhesive to your nose and cheeks, then sprinkle glitter in your chosen color to create whimsical freckles. For a lighter application, use petroleum jelly as the base, making removal easier post-festival. Experiment with bold colors like blue, green, or neon pink to make your freckles pop. 

3. Glitter Gel: Sustainable Sparkle

For a mess-free and eco-friendly option, choose glitter gel over loose glitter. Glitter gel comes pre-mixed with a sticky base, ensuring your sparkle stays in place throughout the festivities. It's easy to apply with fingers or a makeup brush and minimises environmental impact. 

4. Glitter Hair: Shine from Head to Toe

Extend the sparkle to your hair by applying glitter to your roots or strands. Styles like fishtail plaits, space buns, or slicked-back ponytails serve as excellent bases for glitter application. Use hairspray to keep the glitter in place, and choose shades that contrast with your hair colour for maximum impact. 

5. Glitter Eyeliner: Subtle Yet Striking

If you prefer a more understated look, incorporate glitter into your eyeliner. A sharp winged liner with a touch of glitter adds a festive flair without overwhelming your overall makeup. Pair it with glossy cheeks and a natural lip colour for a balanced appearance. 

Final Tips: Shine Responsibly

• Preparation: Use a primer to ensure your glitter adheres well and lasts longer.

• Application: Use appropriate adhesives like glitter glue or gel to keep the glitter in place and prevent fallout.

• Removal: Opt for makeup remover wipes or a damp cloth to remove glitter, disposing of it in the trash. 

Embrace the 'Viva' spirit and let your 'Wild' side shine with these festival glitter looks. Remember, festivals are the perfect opportunity to express yourself boldly, so don't hold back on the sparkle!
