Model Kamila Grygus dons various glitter cosmetics in photographer Elzbieta Tomiak's latest editorial feature. Appropriately titled 'Glitter Your Freckles,' this beauty story features the gorgeous work of makeup artist Magdalena Klonecka who uses shimmering products into works of wearable art.

Experimenting with glitter cosmetics in unexpected ways, Klonecka uses shimmering colors to accentuate model Kamila's eyes, cheekbones and forehead while keeping the rest of her makeup neutral and dewy.

Spotlighting emerald green and gold metallics, this editorial celebrates the recent return of [shimmering cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-chic-beauty) -- usually more synonymous with childhood and teen years than adulthood. This experimental photo series also embraces [artistic makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barry-m-beauty) rather than more traditional looks while showcasing model Kamila's striking features at the same time.
