Sparkle 'Till Sunrise: Rave Glitter Top Tips

Every rave babe is all too familiar with the morning after. You scroll through pics from the previous night to cherish those irreplaceable memories (or to remember what happened). As you flip to a new pic, your ‘fit gets progressively sloppier. In the last one, the glitter top you painstakingly applied for hours has dissolved into a sweaty mess!

That leaves you to wonder, “How the heck do I make glitter stay on???” It’s a question as old as time itself—or whenever raves became a thing. But your efforts to look hella fleek are not in vain. Anyone can put on rave makeup that’s invincible against the heat and dancing of outdoor concerts. With the right tools and techniques, you’ll stay fresh faced from the moment you strut onto the festival grounds to when the sun comes up.

We compiled our all-time fav glitter top ideas and tips to make them last all night. Prepare to become the glittery bombshell you were born to be!

Glitz Up the ‘Fit with Glitter

Glitter isn’t just in your makeup—it can become your entire ‘fit, too! Go topless and slap on a set of skin-safe stickers. Not only are they ultra-sparkly, body stickers are available in lots of shapes and neon colors. You can stick ‘em on your chest, neck, torso and boobs (don’t forget the nips!). Combining them together creates a sticker top that shows more skin than the skimpiest shirt.

Add some three-dimensional shine to your rave outfit with crystal body stickers. These iridescent crystals come pre-arranged on adhesive strips that are designed to accentuate your curves. Neva Nude makes intricate crystal patterns that can run along your collar bone, sternum or underneath the boobs. The crystal collection also features matching nipple pasties to keep you covered.

Complete your glitter top with even more glitter! A pot of loose sparkles is perfect for filling in the gaps between your body stickers. Help the glitter stick by using hair gel, petroleum jelly, aloe vera or even hand sanitizer. Pat the loose glitter into place with a paint or flat makeup brush to evenly distribute it and score full coverage.
