Gemstone Editorial Makeup

What is considered editorial makeup?

Fashion editorial makeup is a makeup that is not worn on a daily basis, It is a makeup that is used for fashion magazines or runways. This type of makeup has to interpret a story the client, photographer, brand, or the director trying to create.

What makes a makeup look editorial?

With editorial makeup, the skin is mostly kept fresh and natural. The base makeup is an understatement with the attention brought to one feature, usually either the eyes or the lips.

How do you use makeup gems?

Add Rhinestones and Pearls

Using your tweezers, carefully select the gem that you wish to use. Then, dip the rhinestone into the adhesive glue on the palette and stick it anywhere you want. For best results, tweeze or push the rhinestone down until it is securely in place and won't move.

How do you get rhinestones to stay on makeup?

Squeeze a bit of your adhesive glue onto a piece of paper. Look for a product that's specifically formulated for cosmetic use, as this is less likely to irritate your skin. The stronger the adhesive, the longer your rhinestones will stay put.

Makeup Gems in history 

Believe it or not, the use of glitter in cosmetics dates back thousands of years. In ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India, people crushed minerals and gemstones like malachite, lapis lazuli, and mica to create powders with a shimmering effect.

According to , director of education and artistry at Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, face jewels initially rose to prominence in the early ’90s as grunge and glam rock staples. Gemstones make recurring appearances in fashion and makeup every 10 to 15 years. “Think Gwen Stefani in her earlier No Doubt years.” Melissa Hernandez, celebrity makeup artist similarly cites Björk as a pioneer of the look: The singer actually sported eye gems on the cover of her 1993 album, Debut.

Fast forward to the turn of the century, and face gems shined as Cher’s glamorously glittery eye makeup in her “Dov’e L’amore” video, and bedazzled Jennifer Lopez’s complexion in “Waiting for Tonight.” And yet, despite this groundbreaking glam, the rhinestone makeup aesthetic didn’t truly enter the mainstream until Euphoria (and social media) came along. The face gem trend was absolutely amplified by the looks from Euphoria, making them more mainstream versus only being seen at high-fashion editorial shoots and on runways.
