No more sticking to clichés, as people now crave real dramatic details that add sparkles to their lives.

Surprisingly, my research enlightened me to the fact that the era of bejeweled makeup being exclusively reserved for Halloween or music festivals is now long gone.

With glittery eyeshadows and rhinestone-adorned lips, there are endless ways to incorporate shimmer and shine into your beauty looks — which means you don’t also need to go all-out like Doja Cat with her red body paint and 30,000 crystals to rock the bejeweled look. We’ve got you covered with 13 dazzling ideas that allow you to maintain an understated dramatic look while still shining bright like a gem goddess. From delicate face pearls to mesmerizing rhinestone cat eyes, these bejeweled makeup looks are sure to inspire and excite you.
