Facefetti Looks: 10 Creative Designs to Try This SeasonFacefetti—playful, sparkly, and instantly mood-lifting—has become a signature beauty element at festivals, parties, photoshoots, and nights out. Unlike traditional glitter, facefetti focuses on bold clusters or confetti-like groupings of holographic flakes, sequins, and chunky glitter that sit like tiny celebratory stickers across the cheekbones, around the eyes, or along the hairline. This guide covers 10 creative Facefetti designs, step-by-step application tips, product suggestions, and safety reminders so you get dazzling results that last.
Safety first: skin and eye considerations
- Use cosmetic-grade glitter and sequins — craft glitter can have sharp edges and unsafe pigments.
- Avoid loose glitter inside the eye socket; place decorations around the orbital bone, not on the waterline.
- Patch-test adhesives and glitter behind the ear or on the inner wrist 24 hours before application.
- Use skin-safe adhesive such as cosmetic glitter glue, medical-grade adhesive (for heavier pieces), or aloe vera gel for light hold.
- Removal: soak with an oil-based remover (coconut oil, micellar cleansing oil) and gently lift off; never rub hard.
Tools & supplies you’ll need
- Cosmetic-grade chunky glitter, holographic flakes, small sequins, or biodegradable glitter.
- Cosmetic adhesive (glitter glue, lash glue for single-use looks, or medical adhesive for heavier pieces).
- Small brushes (flat and angled), tweezers, and a damp sponge.
- Primer or light cream base to help glue adhere.
- Setting spray to finish.
1) Starburst Cheekbones
A radiant, sculpted look that frames the cheekbones like miniature sunbursts.
How to:
- Apply a luminous cream highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones.
- Use a small brush to dot cosmetic adhesive in a semi-circle following the highlighter.
- With tweezers, place a mix of small hexagon sequins and micro-glitter outward from the center, denser near the temple and tapering toward the apple of the cheek.
- Finish with a mist of setting spray.
Best for: photoshoots and festival daytime looks.
2) Under-Eye Confetti Trail
A whimsical, tear-shaped trail that adds instant playful flair.
How to:
- Apply concealer as a smooth base.
- Using a thin brush, map a descending teardrop line from the outer edge of the lower lash line.
- Dab adhesive along the line and place tiny round flakes and micro-glitter in a gradient: densest near the lash line, sparseness toward the cheek.
- Keep pieces small to avoid eye irritation.
Best for: intimate parties and editorial makeup.
3) Cosmic Brow Accent
Turn your brows into a celestial focal point with glitter accents.
How to:
- Groom brows and apply clear brow gel.
- Lightly lay adhesive along the highest points of the brow arch.
- Press elongated holo flakes or thin bar-shaped glitters flat along the arch, pointing toward the temple.
- Pair with soft shimmer eyeshadow and minimal mascara.
Best for: nightclubs, concerts, or artistic portraits.
4) Freckle Facets
Replace or enhance natural freckles with tiny, reflective specks.
How to:
- Use a light brown pencil to create faux freckles if desired.
- Dab a touch of adhesive and apply single micro-glitter pieces sparsely across nose and cheeks.
- Vary size and spacing for a natural, twinkling effect.
Best for: day-to-day playful looks and editorial spreads.
5) Tear-Drop Rhinestone Cluster
A luxe, jewel-like placement that reads glamorous on camera.
How to:
- After applying foundation, map a small teardrop shape beneath one eye.
- Use medical-grade adhesive for rhinestones and place a central larger stone, surrounding it with graduated smaller gems and micro-glitter.
- Keep the rest of the makeup muted so the cluster stands out.
Best for: red carpet vibes, parties, and luxe events.
6) Rainbow Comet Sweep
A vibrant diagonal sweep of color across the temple.
How to:
- Apply a cream color base in the rainbow order you want (optional).
- Apply adhesive in a diagonal line from the temple heading toward the cheek.
- Layer different colored chunky glitters in stripes to produce a comet-tail effect.
- Seal with setting spray.
Best for: Pride events, parades, or festivals.
7) Geometric Cut-Outs
Sharp, modern shapes for a graphic, futuristic look.
How to:
- Use small stencils or tape to mark clean lines on the temple or near the hairline.
- Apply a thin layer of adhesive within the stencil and press in angular pieces—thin bars, triangles, and square sequins.
- Remove stencil carefully to reveal crisp edges.
Best for: fashion shows, editorial shoots, and avant-garde nights.
8) Floral Petal Clusters
Soft, romantic clusters that mimic petals framing the eyes.
How to:
- Choose iridescent petal-shaped sequins or thin flake glitters.
- Apply adhesive in small petal outlines radiating from the outer eye corner.
- Layer petals slightly overlapping, adding tiny micro-glitter centers to mimic pollen.
Best for: spring/summer weddings, photoshoots, or romantic dates.
9) Galaxy Temples
Dense, multi-dimensional clusters at the temples for an out-of-this-world effect.
How to:
- Mix a palette of deep blues, purples, silver, and holo glitter.
- Apply base adhesive on the temple, then press in larger flakes first and fill gaps with micro-glitter and tiny star-shaped sequins.
- Smudge a bit of coordinating eyeshadow along the hairline to blend.
Best for: evening events and themed parties.
10) Fringe Lashline Sparkle
Tiny gems along the upper lashline for a subtle but show-stopping shimmer.
How to:
- After curling lashes and applying mascara, use a thin lash glue line along the upper or lower lashline.
- Place micro rhinestones or tiny round glitter pieces spaced evenly between lashes—use tweezers for precision.
- Keep pieces very small to avoid interfering with the eye.
Best for: close-up photography and elegant nights out.
Quick application tips
- Start small. It’s easier to add than remove.
- Mix sizes and shapes for depth; use micro-glitter to fill gaps.
- Work with damp adhesive for immediate placement, or tacky adhesive for repositioning.
- Keep tools clean—reuse tweezers only after disinfecting.
Removal and aftercare
- Use an oil-based remover or cleansing balm and press gently to dissolve adhesive.
- Avoid scrubbing; lift decorations with a cotton pad soaked in remover.
- Follow with a gentle cleanser and a soothing moisturizer or aloe gel to calm skin.
Product recommendations (types)
- Cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter (eco-friendly).
