Here’s how you can get the look

Like any other make-up look, it’s a good idea to prep your skin first.

Start with a clean, moisturised face.

Then apply a primer to help your make-up last longer and prevent glitter from falling.

When selecting your glitter opt for ones that complement your skin tone and the overall look you're aiming for.

Fine-grain glitter will provide a more subtle effect, while larger glitter flakes create a bolder statement.

When applying the glitter use a dotting tool, a small makeup brush, or even your fingertip to carefully place the glitter dots on your face.

Experiment with different patterns and densities to achieve your desired look.

Once you're happy with the placement of the glitter, gently press a translucent powder over the glitter to help it adhere and prevent it from falling off.

Finish off your look with the rest of your makeup routine, such as eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.

Here are some tips on how to wear glitter freckles

Remember less can often be more. Start with a few glitter dots and gradually add more as you feel comfortable.

Take into consideration the occasion. Glitter freckles are perfect for special events or festivals, but they might not be appropriate for every setting.

Remove the glitter gently. Use a makeup remover that is specifically formulated for glitter to effectively clean your skin.
