You've probably seen models wearing rhinestone makeup, but have you ever tried it on yourself? Let's try! Of course, in normal times such makeup would be inappropriate, but for a festive evening or wedding you can’t think of anything more spectacular.
How to do makeup with rhinestones?
First of all, you should decide on which part of the face you will stick rhinestones: eyes, face, lips, or all at once. The choice of the shape and size of rhinestones largely depends on this: you can decorate yourself with droplet rhinestones, hearts, snowflakes or stars (the diameter of the stones varies in the range SS12 - SS22).
A wide range of colors - from black to transparent - will allow you to choose rhinestones that best suit your overall style - classic, romantic or extravagant.
Before gluing, simply place the stones where the rhinestones will be attached. You will be able to clearly imagine how you will look after applying makeup.

So, let's start with preparing the face
After cleansing and moisturizing the skin, apply toner. Use concealer if you need to hide skin imperfections and even out your complexion. It is advisable that the face be matte: on such skin, diamond rhinestones look very organic. Choose the necessary foundation and blush. Make up your eyes, apply lipstick.
Try to achieve perfection in your makeup. After all, rhinestones will attract increased attention to you, and all makeup errors will be visible.
When the makeup is complete, use a pencil to mark the places where the rhinestones will be glued. If you want to make a rhinestone pattern on both sides of your face, then try to do it symmetrically.
Most often, rhinestones emphasize the beauty of the eyes, so let's start with them.
To give your look special expressiveness, brightness and shine - this is the task of makeup with rhinestones for the eyes. In addition, the presence of a shiny line of stones visually enlarges the eyes, so it’s simply a sin not to take advantage of this opportunity.
Small pebbles are glued only with special glue along the line of the eyeliner-arrow or higher up - along the line of shadows.
Fantasy is your faithful assistant in such a creative endeavor! For example, a pattern of rhinestones made on the outer edges of the eyes, extending to the cheekbones or temples, looks original. You can place rhinestones scattered around the eyes or fill the entire outer corner of the eye with them, or you can leave only two or three stones.
There is no need to attach rhinestones to the folds of the eyelids or eyelashes: in the first case they will not be visible; in the second, removing stones from eyelashes is an extremely painful procedure. Therefore, it is better to fix them on artificial eyelashes - then it will be much easier to remove this entire “construction”. For the same reason, there is no need to glue pebbles to your eyebrows.
Rhinestones on lips
Yes, in some situations, makeup with rhinestones on the lips looks simply amazing. Especially if the girl is dressed and made up in oriental style. But then you have to forget about delicious food. So you need to think carefully about the appropriateness of such a make-up.
If you still decide to show off in this kind of makeup, then use lipstick that is waterproof and either matches the color of the rhinestones or contrasts beautifully with them. Do not glue stones in the corners of your lips - they will not last there for long.
How to glue rhinestones correctly?
The gluing technology is simple: a small drop of glue is applied to the desired location, and a rhinestone is placed on top (using tweezers). Press the pebble with your finger and hold it there for a few seconds - the glue dries quickly. All other stones are attached in the same way.
When it comes time to remove the rhinestones, you will need to press them lightly, and they will easily separate from the skin. Glue residues are removed with any facial cleanser - gel, milk, foam. Having removed the rhinestones, they are stored until the next time: after all, the stones can be used as decoration until they lose their “marketable” appearance.
Remembering how easily and imperceptibly rhinestones can come off, when going to an entertainment event, take with you a few stones to replace the lost ones.
Now you know how to become the center of attention in your company. But to make your look truly stylish and sophisticated, don't wear everything together that has rhinestone trim in your wardrobe.
Imagine a girl whose shoes, clothes, and accessories shine with diamond dust; the nail polish and the hair clip in the head are also with rhinestones, and this “oil painting” is completed by makeup with shiny stones all over the face. It's not even a Christmas tree, but a real northern lights!
Conclusion: moderation is the key to your success in society.

Rhinestones in makeup are most often used for photo shoots or fashion shows. Such make-up will not be appropriate everywhere. Of course, this technique will make any look simply irresistible, royally luxurious.
The main task of makeup with rhinestones is to attract attention, give shine to the look, make the look bright and different from others.
Not every girl will decide to use such unusual makeup, even for a cool party, but every girl at least once thought to herself: “How is it done?” Let's find out!
Rhinestones on the eyes
First of all, we will choose the part of the face where you will glue the rhinestones, because the choice of the shape of the pebbles, their size and quantity depends on this. It is advisable to imagine in advance what kind of pattern you would like to see as a result, because there are a lot of options for rhinestones! There are droplets, hearts, snowflakes or stars; the diameter of such pebbles varies in the range SS12 - SS22. The color range is also huge - black and white, transparent, colored, bright, acid colors. The color and shape determine your makeup, whether it will turn out extravagant, romantic, shocking or classic.
Similar options can be combined with each other, but be careful - do not overdo it, lay out the drawing in advance and “try it on” on the table. You can also apply the pebbles to your face immediately before you glue them.
So, the first stage is to prepare the skin. We clean it with tonic. You can use concealer to make your complexion more even and hide imperfections. Rhinestones look most impressive on a matte face, an even, more delicate shade, without the obvious use of blush, so it is advisable to choose the same non-flashy colors of blush and foundation. You can immediately apply eyelashes and lipstick.
Since rhinestones will attract a lot of attention, your eyes and skin tone should be perfectly even, try to achieve this.
Then we mark with a pencil the places where we will glue the rhinestones. If the crystals are on both sides of the eyes, then great attention should be paid to symmetry so that the stones are glued completely identically on both sides of the eyes.
It is worth knowing that if you decide to glue large stones, this will visually make your eyes larger. Small crystals are glued only with special glue, some use hair gel, some use lip gloss, although many girls still use regular super glue, which sometimes negatively affects the skin around the eyes, and even more so careful not to get directly into the eye.
You should not attach rhinestones directly to the folds of your eyelids - firstly, they will not be visible, and secondly, removing rhinestones after gluing them from these parts of the face is a very painful and unpleasant procedure, this is also worth mentioning if you decide to place pebbles on or near the eyebrows. The safest way is to attach rhinestones to glued eyelashes.
So, again, step by step:
1. Select pebbles and decide on the design and application
- it’s better to have one range of warm or cold, so that there is color harmony
2. Apply dots on your face with a pencil
3. Don’t rush, it’s better to glue the rhinestones very slowly and one at a time
4. You shouldn’t glue crystals on your eyelashes and eyebrows unless it’s catwalk makeup. This requires a lot of experience and precision.
5. To remove the rhinestone, simply press on the stone.
6. Then remove excess glue or gel using makeup remover.

To shine at any event, you can use makeup with rhinestones. It can be discreet or flashy - everything is individual here. To prevent makeup with crystals from looking vulgar and inappropriate, you should take into account the format of the party, the color type and a few more nuances, which will be discussed.
How to choose the right rhinestones?
Rhinestones serve as decoration for evening makeup. Even a single crystal adds a festive touch to the look, so this makeup is appropriate for themed parties, lavish celebrations, photo shoots and cocktail receptions. Such events require a consistent image or a creative approach.
To choose the right rhinestones you need to follow the following rules:
- crystals should match the makeup - be a logical continuation of it, without conflicting with the overall look;
- You should always choose the color of your rhinestones based on the color of your outfit. Black and white colors can be combined with any shades, while other crystals are selected based on the principle of contrast, strengthening or weakening the main color or according to the rule of using adjacent shades;
- try to place rhinestones on less moving parts of the face (for example, do not glue a crystal to the crease of the eyelid);
- stones intended for lip makeup may not always be suitable for decorating eyebrows or eyelashes - this is important to remember before buying them;
- rhinestones come with or without a self-adhesive base, the former are easier to stick, and the latter will last much longer, but they will require special glue;
- rhinestones on the eyelids can be matte or shiny, but they should always form a specific pattern; it should be thought out in advance by making a trial version of the makeup.
How to glue rhinestones on the face?
It is more convenient to apply self-adhesive crystals with special tweezers, one by one removing them from the backing film.
If the decoration does not have a glued base, then you need to purchase special glue. To apply small stones, you can use a glitter base or eyelash glue; the latter remedy is also suitable for large rhinestones. In order for the result to turn out as originally intended, it is important to adhere to the algorithm:
- first, it is better to mark the location of the intended location of the shining decor with a pencil;
- during application there is no need to stretch the place where the rhinestones will be located;
- Each stone should be placed on a skin surface protected by decorative cosmetics - cover lips with matte lipstick, eyelashes with mascara (or decorate false eyelashes with rhinestones), apply eyeliner along the growth of eyelashes, if rhinestones decorate cheekbones or forehead, then these places are covered with a makeup base;
- Glue is applied to each crystal in turn, then carefully placed on the face with tweezers.
Eye makeup
Rhinestones give everyday makeup a festive look, but if the makeup itself is bright and original, then a large number of crystals can cheapen the look and make it vulgar. When using dark and bright colors of eye shadow, it is better to minimize the number of rhinestones - place one stone in the inner corner of the eye or glue a crystal on the outside, the color should be in harmony with the shade of eye makeup.
The shape of the eyes and their color play an important role:
- Cold-colored rhinestones are more suitable for gray-eyed and blue-eyed girls, while warm shades are ideal for brown eyes;
- blue and green crystals look very good on green-eyed girls;
- As for silver and transparent crystals, they suit absolutely everyone.

Lip makeup
The technique of applying rhinestones to the lips is simple, but here it is also important to initially think through the design, see how they will harmonize with the outfit and overall makeup. This lip decoration suits original and somewhat extravagant girls. It may look too flashy or even aggressive. To soften this effect, it is recommended to not decorate the lips completely and not create an emphasis on the eyes - it is enough to frame the eye with eyeliner, crowning it with an arrow. Most often, makeup with rhinestones for lips is done when creating an art image, in which both the stones themselves and the design are combined into a complete picture.
Step-by-step instruction
- Swipe a pad of makeup remover over your lips to remove any remaining makeup and dry them a little.
- Cover lips with base product.
- Apply matte lipstick of the desired color. If rhinestones play a major role in makeup, then the color of the lipstick should be nude or close in color to the rhinestones themselves.
- Squeeze a little glue onto a clean surface.
- Take one rhinestone with tweezers and dip it in glue.
- Place the rhinestone on your lips.
