Quick Answer

To apply crystal face gems, start with clean, dry skin, use a small amount of eyelash glue or spirit gum, and press each gem into place with tweezers for a secure, glam look.

Why Skin Prep Matters

Your face gems will only stay put if the skin underneath is clean and free of oils. Moisturizer and makeup can create a barrier that prevents the adhesive from bonding, so always start with a freshly cleansed face.

For long events like festivals, consider applying gems after your makeup is fully set. This reduces the chance of them sliding off or lifting during the day.

Choosing the Right Adhesive

The type of adhesive you use can make or break your gem application. Eyelash glue is a common choice because it's gentle and easy to remove, but it may not hold as well on very oily skin. Spirit gum offers a stronger hold but requires a special remover.

If you have sensitive skin, patch-test any adhesive on a small area first. This helps you avoid an allergic reaction right before your event.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Crystal Face Gems

  1. Prep Your Skin: Cleanse your face and pat it dry. Avoid applying moisturizer or heavy makeup where you plan to place the gems. Skipping this step can cause gems to fall off early.
  2. Plan Your Design: Lay out your gems on a flat surface and arrange them in your desired pattern. Use a mirror to visualize placement. Planning ahead prevents messy placement and wasted gems.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Using a toothpick or the applicator, apply a small dot of eyelash glue or spirit gum to the back of each gem. Wait 30 seconds for it to become tacky. Too much adhesive can cause it to squeeze out around the gem and look messy.
  4. Place the Gem: Using tweezers, gently press the gem onto your skin in the desired spot. Hold for 10-15 seconds to ensure a secure bond. Press firmly but avoid sliding the gem, which can smear the adhesive.
  5. Let It Set: Wait a few minutes for the adhesive to dry completely before touching your face or applying any setting spray. Rushing this step can cause gems to shift or fall off.
  6. Remove Gems Safely: To remove, gently peel each gem off. If using spirit gum, apply a makeup remover or spirit gum remover to dissolve the bond. Cleanse your skin afterward. Never pull hard—this can irritate your skin or pull out hairs.
