Prianka Kumar, make-up expert, says, “For the Indian skin tone, one can opt for bronzers with a touch of peach, golden and brown. Mix the glitter powder with baby oil or a moisturiser and apply on the areas you wish to highlight.”


1. Plan your outfit for the evening. This will help you in deciding what parts of the body to highlight with the glitter. These parts of the body are known as “access points”. Choose a glitter variant that will not shed on your clothes.

2. Dab the make-up brush in the body glitter. Press lightly on the glitter so that you don’t bend the brush.

3. Tap the brush on the inside of the glitter to knock off any excess glitter and highlight the parts with a light dusting of the body glitter.

4. Pick your two favourite body parts. To draw attention, apply glitter on the shoulders, back or the collarbone area. Do not apply too much glitter, you might end up looking ridiculously shiny!

5. Do not highlight any area with more than one brush stroke. Try to apply as minimally as you can.
