Rhinestones are everywhere – on the face, hair and even teeth. How to follow the main makeup trend this summer?

After the first season of Euphoria aired, there was an explosion of all things glitter and shine, and it continues to this day. And if before that, only make-up artists glued rhinestones and only their faces, now the trend is firmly entrenched among lovers of beauties and everything unusual. Now even shimmering particles can be seen on teeth and hair. For example, recently on TIkTok, a video of a girl using a styler with rhinestones went viral – it takes a few clicks for shiny stones to appear on the strands. And decoration with the sky (i.e. small ornaments) can be seen more and more often on the teeth of bloggers. However, dentists do not recommend doing these.

If decorating teeth and hair is one-time fun tricks, then rhinestones in makeup are something you can try constantly, embodying new fantasies every time. Therefore, below we have collected ideas that will definitely make you want to make a bright (literally) makeover, and tell you which ones are better to choose.

Rhinestone Makeup Ideas

It is not necessary to cover the entire face with a scattering of crystals, as makeup artists did at the Fendi Couture SS 2022 show, a few highlights will suffice.

eyebrow highlight

Rhinestones can be not only on the eyes, but also on the eyebrows. True, this makeup is best done for photo shoots, because on short hair its durability is noticeably reduced.

opposite stones

A win-win option is rhinestones of two contrasting shades on a “clean” face. Keep makeup to a minimum and just let the bright stones shimmering in the sun be the center of attention.

last touch

As an additional element to eye makeup, rhinestones are a good way to give a more festive look. Add clear crystals scattered all over the lid, or arrange them in an arc from the outer corner of the eye to the forehead, as Euphoria makeup artist Donnie Davy did.

in the inner corner of the eyes

If you replace the illuminator that you apply to the inner corner of the eye with rhinestones, the makeup will immediately become interesting and catchy. Take a cue from Dua Lipa, who featured purple eyeshadow and sheer shimmering stones at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona.

If the previous ideas are too ordinary for you, make rhinestones the main element of your makeup. Place them around the eyes in a wide, irregular motion or add them to the hair.

arrowhead

Rhinestones, a continuation of arrows, are a technique especially loved by star makeup artists. With such make-up, Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa often perform on stage. In this case, rhinestones will last longer as they are on the less mobile part of the eyelid.

Which ones to choose?

Choose rhinestones on a sticky layer to make your life easier and not suffer with glue and tweezers. Do not worry about the duration of the socks – it stays like crystals without a sticky sole. The main leaders in the production of rhinestones are Miami Tattoos and Lukky. The first brand has a wide selection, both individual crystals and combinations that can be glued with a ribbon and form an arrow. They last for a long time, and it is a pity to remove them even in the evening. Vivienne Sabo has recently launched the La Mer line, which also has stones but in the form of pearls. On one of our editors, they held tight even after several re-gluing, and on the other a pair of pearls still fell, but we believe their agile facial expressions are to blame.
