'Glitter booty' is the latest bizarre beauty trend you've secretly always wanted
Glitter is all the rage. We've seen beards, roots, eyebrows and even armpits transformed into sparkly creations thanks to a series of glitter trends.
But, the latest glitter trend involves rubbing glitter all over your derrière. Right...
The "glitter booty" is the brainchild of artist Mia Kennington, who was inspired by the sandy-butt look that goes hand in hand with spending too much time on the beach. Kennington is part of The Gypsy Shrine, a group of glitter artists who host body art pop-ups at festivals. Kennington has been posting photos of her glittery experiments on Instagram. There's the classic gold glitter look...
There's the rainbow booty look.
And even a mermaid-inspired glitter booty.
To get the look, ask a friend to help you apply some hair gel -- which acts as an adhesive -- before laying the glitter on top. You can also apply body paint beforehand if you're looking for a more bold and colourful look. Sparkly!
