Bedazzled Makeup Trend

<p>In the age of hyperpop glam looks, rhinestones are no longer reserved for special occasions or elaborate costumes. <strong>Face gems </strong>and <strong>f</strong><strong>aux gem stickers</strong><strong></strong> have graduated from festival sparkle to an unforgettable accessory in your makeup bag. Enhance your usual eyeshadow look with crystals, pearls, or even studs as a fun accent piece. Better yet, <strong>bedazzle</strong> your entire kit for that extra oomph! Even PBB winner <strong>Mika Salamanca</strong> and <strong>Will Ashley</strong> are in on it!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787722501977Mika Salamanca Will Ashley bedazzling.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19Z7xXhr94/?mibextid=wwXIfr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Photo via Mika Salamanca&#x27;s Facebook</a></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787718541417helyioum_1787073672_3966582726248931377_69488047178.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @helyioum</span></span></span></div><p>The magic of these faux gems is that they add a subtle sparkle to simple makeup looks. Achieving the perfect graphic eyeliner or perfectly blended eyeshadow can take skill and patience; popping on one or two pearls or rhinestones to cover the flaws can greatly help and make you look like a makeup pro. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787720260289evelin._.ortiz_1786484825_3961644184225248895_3125774349.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @evelin._.ortiz</span></span></span></div><p>For outdoor get-togethers, sparkling gems or pearls can catch light beautifully, making you sparkle as you move under the sun. What’s fun with makeup is that there are no rules; gem placement is pure creativity. You can put them wherever you want, mix the sizes, or even keep it totally asymmetric. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787720608087zaralarsson_1786757410_3963929718389184103_9240981.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @zaralarsson</span></span></span></div><p>Bright, limitless makeup has also been on the rise with pop culture icons like the TV show Euphoria and singer Zara Larsson popularizing eccentric makeup looks.
