Body Glitter & Face Gems

Sparkle Up Your Look With Body Glitter and Face Gems

Music festivals. Dress-up parties. Nights out with your crew. Some moments call for sparkle. And not just a little sprinkle. We're talking about full glam, head-turning shimmer that lights up the dance floor. That's where body glitter and face gems come in. They're your go-to for next-level party looks that get people talking (and snapping pics).

As Australia's number one party shop, Spotlight has the best range of body glitter and face gems. You'll find chunky glitter, shimmer gels, glitter pots, rhinestones and more. All the sparkle, all in one place. Whether you're pulling a rave look together or just want something fun for the weekend, we've got you.

What is Body Glitter, and How Is It Different From Craft Glitter?

Body glitter is specially made for your skin. It uses cosmetic-grade pigments that are safe to wear on your face and body. Unlike craft glitter, which is made from plastic and not meant for your skin, body glitter is finer, softer and non-toxic.

Craft glitter might look similar, but it can cause irritation and even small cuts if used on your face. So, always stick to body glitter for anything makeup-related. It's designed to stay put and shine bright without harming your skin.

Find the Sparkle That Suits You Best

From subtle pastel shimmer to bold sparkle, there's something for every vibe. Here's what you'll find in our range:

• Body glitter gel - Swipe it on, and you're done. Great for quick and easy sparkle.
• Loose glitter pots - Love to blend? These are perfect for layering and mixing.
• Glitter vials - Add serious pop with concentrated sparkle in a handy tube.
• Glitter creme - Creamy and smooth. A fave for detailed looks or sensitive spots.

Bling Out Your Glitter Look with Face Gems

Face gems take your glitter look from fun to full glam. You can stick with a simple design or go all out with bold patterns. Here are ideas on how to use them with face glitter to really make your look pop.

• Pop some glitter around your eyes and top it off with rhinestones at the outer corners.
• Use pastel glitter across your cheeks, then add gems in a crown shape above your brows.
• Pair chunky glitter with larger decals for a dramatic, festival-ready finish.
• Outline your lips with small face gems for a glam twist.

Play around. Layer it up. There's no wrong way to sparkle.

How to Apply Glitter Without the Mess

If you've ever used glitter before, you'll agree that it can be a mess to apply. But no worries. Here are some tips to keep it clean and flawless:

• Use a glitter primer or aloe vera gel as a base to help the glitter stick.
• Tap it on with your finger or a brush, don't swipe.
• Place face gems using tweezers for better control.
• Do your glitter after the rest of your makeup.

Here's a pro tip: if things go rogue, sticky tape and wipes are your besties.

Trendy Glitter Looks to Try

Need a few ideas to get you started? These glitter looks are trending right now:

• Rave queen - Use glitter spray for hair, pair with body art stickers, and finish with a dusting of holographic sparkle across your shoulders. You can also add a shimmering hairpiece or a flower crown.
• Rose gold glow - Match rose gold glitter on your lids with a soft lip gloss and a shimmer-dusted collarbone.
• Chunky glitter cheeks - Go big with layered chunky glitter on the cheekbones, then add face gems in between.
• Pastel sparkle - Pair pastel glitter with stencilled pastel face paints for soft, dreamy effects.
• Galaxy eyes - Use dark eyeshadow, silver glitter gel and tiny rhinestones in the corners of your eyes.

How to Take It Off Without Chasing Glitter for Days

We all love glitter until it's time to remove it. If you're not careful, you could end up chasing glitter off your face and body for days. Here's how to clean up quickly:

• Rub in a bit of body oil or coconut oil to loosen the glitter.
• Wipe gently with cotton pads or a soft cloth.
• Use sticky tape to lift off stubborn specks.
• Finish with a gentle cleanser to wash away the rest.

The most important thing to remember is to avoid using water first. It just spreads the glitter around instead of lifting it.

Are They Safe For Your Skin?

They sure are. Our body glitter and face gems are designed to be used on skin. They meet Australian standards and are made with gentle, non-toxic ingredients. But if your skin is sensitive, make sure to do a quick patch test before going all in.
