How to apply face gems

Want to elevate your look with effortless sparkle? Our quick guide on how to apply face gems will show you exactly how to get a flawless, long-lasting finish. Whether you're heading to a festival, party, or special event, unel face gems are designed to be easy to use and instantly transform your look with minimal effort.

1. Start with clean, dry skin
Make sure your skin is free from makeup, oil, or moisturiser where you’ll apply the gems—this helps them stick better and last longer.

2. Peel carefully
Gently lift the pre-arranged gem design from the backing sheet in one piece (or in sections if needed), being careful not to touch the adhesive too much.

3. Position & press
Place the gems onto your face where desired (around eyes, cheeks, or forehead), then press firmly for a few seconds to secure them in place.

4. Lock it in
Avoid touching or adjusting too much once applied. For extra hold, you can dab a little lash glue on edges if needed—perfect for all-night wear.

Pro tip: Apply after makeup for the best look, and remove gently by peeling off from the edges when you're done
