Before applying any glitter, it's crucial to prep your skin and create a flawless base to ensure your look lasts all day:

  • Primer: Use a primer to create a smooth base and help your makeup stay put.
  • Base: Choose a long-wearing foundation that matches your skin tone.
  • Setting Powder: Lightly dust setting powder to keep your base in place.
  1. Eye-Catching Eyes

Your eyes are the perfect place to start adding glitter for a show-stopping festival look:

  • Eyeshadow Base: Apply an eyeshadow primer to your lids.
  • Biodegradable Glitter Eyeshadow: Use Anam Cosmetics Biodegradable Glitter Eyeshadow. Choose from three stunning shades to add sparkle to your lids. Use a flat eyeshadow brush to pack the glitter onto your eyelids for a vibrant effect.
  • Blend: Blend the edges of the glitter eyeshadow with a soft brush to create a seamless transition.
  • Eyeliner: Add definition with a bold eyeliner. For extra sparkle, dip your eyeliner brush in Anam Cosmetics Biodegradable Glitter Eyeshadow and draw a glittery line along your lash line.
  1. Shimmering Cheeks

Add some glitter to your cheekbones for a radiant, festival-ready glow:

  • Highlighter: Apply a cream or powder highlighter to the high points of your face.
  • Biodegradable Glitter: Dab a bit of biodegradable glitter onto your cheekbones using a damp makeup sponge for added shine. Blend it out for a more natural glow or pack it on for a bold, glittery statement.
