About Our Face Gems

Elevate your look with the glittering sophistication of Mika Face Painting's professional face gems service. Using high-quality adhesive rhinestones, flatback crystals, and decorative gems applied with skin-safe cosmetic glue, this service delivers an instant dose of glamour that is breathtaking in person and absolutely luminous in photographs. Whether you're going for subtle under-eye sparkle or a full-on editorial crystal installation, Mika Face Painting's artistry ensures every gem placement is purposeful, precise, and truly stunning.

Face gems have become one of the most sought-after beauty trends in recent years, appearing on festival stages, fashion runways, and at the most stylish weddings and parties. Mika Face Painting stays ahead of the trend with a constantly updated collection of gems, crystals, pearls, and specialty shapes — from classic clear rhinestones and iridescent AB crystals to coloured gemstones, stars, hearts, and bespoke shapes for themed events.

Each face gem design is entirely bespoke, created in consultation with the guest to match their outfit, the event's aesthetic, and their personal style. Quick application options — ideal for large groups — include simple liner-style gem placements and scattered crystal looks. For more elaborate editorial pieces, additional time can be scheduled.

All adhesives used are cosmetic-grade, specifically formulated for use on facial skin, and are removed easily and safely with a specialist remover or warm oil. Mika Face Painting holds £5M Salon Gold public liability insurance and is fully trained in the safe application and removal of all products. Face gems are a brilliant addition to any event — bookable as a standalone service or in combination with face painting or a glitter bar for a complete beauty experience.
