There's no denying it; face gems are the ultimate It-Girl makeup accessory, largely because they can be styled in so many different ways. If you're headed to see your favorite band play at a music festival, you can go all out with colorful jewels instead of rocking eyeshadow. When it's time for prom glam, you can serve a fierce look with a pearl-lined cut crease to match your Barbiecore dress. You can even add a dot in the inner and outer corners of your eyes for a low-key look when you're headed to class.
Since face gems gained so much popularity courtesy of HBO's Euphoria, Seventeen caught up with celebrity MUA, Donni Davy to get the scoop on her decision to include the must-have makeup accessory on the show. "The looks on Euphoria are inspired by the emotional state the characters are in," Davy says. "Rhinestones help portray the tension between childhood and adolescence, and depending on their placement, they can even be reminiscent of tears." Since the show's director wanted to "showcase bold and expressive makeup," Davy "needed to use reflective things such as rhinestones, glitter, and bold pops of color." Following her success on Euphoria, Davy launched a line Half Magic Beauty, with her very own collection of face gems.
While all the besties adore face rhinestones, one of the biggest criticisms people say about them is that they don't last very long. According to Davy, the trick to ensuring that your face gems stay in place is to steer clear of oil-heavy serums and moisturizers. "If I'm applying rhinestones on top of color, I recommend a long-wear eyeshadow like Half Magic's CHROMADDICTION eye paints to help them stay on longer." Another viral hack to keep your face gems nice and sturdy is to apply them with eyelash glue.
