However, one mum has now shown the harsh reality of rocking sparkly face gems for several hours in the sun - and people are begging her to get a fringe.
Rebecca Karlssoon, 32, recently attended a music festival where she stayed for the full 12 hours.
The dark-haired beauty, from Sweden, opted to wear a figure-hugging dress covered in mini rhinestones, as well as a huge gem collection on her forehead.
The epic look also included smaller gems by the outer corner of her eyes, as well as a chic up-do with some glitter in the hairline.

The 12-hour bash turned out to be a rather sunny one, as the mum ended up getting a pretty severe sunburn on her shoulders and chest.
But as Rebecca was showing off the jaw-dropping damage on TikTok, it was also at this moment the mother realised the inevitable had happened - and her face would have an unfortunate print for some time.
While the two tiny gems by the eyes left a cute mark, the aftermath of rocking a mega gem piece in the middle of the forehead wasn't so adorable.
''Oh f**k,'' the mortified music lover exclaimed in the video after inspecting the damage.

Due to the unfortunate shape of the shiny face gems, the hilarious fail looked like ''Batman'' had left a mark on her forehead.
Urging others to never skin SPF, the mother wrote in the caption: ''Always use sunscreen, be careful and take care.
I'm a bikini waxer - you're making a fake tan mistake & here's the reason why your privates are kicking up a grim smell
''I made a mistake because of bad weather, now I look like #batman in my f*****g forehead, learn by my mistake.''
'Time for bangs I guess'
Since being shared online under the username @rebeccakarlssoon the epic fail has gone viral, winning the mum more than an astronomical 5.2million views in just two days.

As over 260k people gave it a like, over 1,600 viewers flooded to comments.
One said: ''You knew what was gonna happen, but we're still not ready for how dramatic it was.''
''Well….Time for bangs I guess,'' another chuckled.
Meanwhile, others shared their biggest festival blunders, with a fellow fashionista writing: ''Throw back to the time I wore those netted gloves to a festival and for the rest of the month it looked like I'd bbq'd my arms.''

Someone else chimed in: 'be thankful you can cover it with makeup or something.
''My friend once got a fishnet sunburn and for the rest of summer she was referred to as The Ham.''

Kelly Clarkson reveals why she has sworn off dating… five years after leaving husband
Kelly Clarkson is in no hurry to make a love connection. The singer, 43, who was joined by daughter River Rose, 11, on stage during her Friday night show in Las Vegas, opened up about why she's content to be single with her audience over the weekend. In a TikTok video recorded during the hitmaker's Studio Sessions residency at at the Colosseum at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace, she explained, 'Dating can be very difficult which is why I don't.' Having immense fame can also be a drawback to any relationship. 'Add a spotlight and it's like a … dumpster fire,' she told the crowd. More than a few fans related to her decision to go stay away from the dating scene. 'I hear ya darlin'!' wrote one fan. @amandagrimes563 'Which is why I don't' will now live rent free in my head @kellyclarkson #studiosession #VEGAS #thecolosseum #kellyclarkson #fyp #lasvegas #chitchattingwithKelly ♬ original sound - Manders 'I don't need a man.

The pair split in 2020 and finalized their divorce two years later after a lengthy court battle over finances, property and child custody. The Grammy winner won full primary custody of her kids and moved to New York City. 'I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn't be in L.A. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can't really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, "The only other option would probably be New York."' she told USA Today in 2023. At a show in Atlantic City in May, the Since U Been Gone singer got real with her audience, sharing that difficult relationships seemed to be a family tradition. Clarkson's parents divorced when she was six. 'We learn from our parents, [who] learn from their parents. We keep repeating the same horrible sh*t over and over,' she said at the time. 'Now, it turns out that I chose the same f-ing path.' 'Dating can be very difficult which is why I don't,' she said.

The reaction to Ulrika Jonsson's face has made me terrified of ageing
'She needs to lay off the sunbeds'. 'Madge from Benidorm'. '100-year-old neck of a giraffe'. Just three of the comments on Instagram referencing TV presenter and model Ulrika Jonsson's appearance after her latest podcast appearance, where, among other things, she opened up about her trauma and addiction battles. When a woman does this, I see nothing but bravery and strength. But the rest of the world? Well, apparently, what she looks like is far more important. As a result, I've grown terrified of ageing in today's society. Last week, Ulrika, 57, went on Spencer Matthews' Untapped podcast. She spoke frankly about the challenges she faced in giving up drinking, as well as choosing a life of wellness to be present for both herself and her children. It was an empowering listen. The social media comments, however, were flooded with jibes about her skin, speculating about her age with a mocking tone, and demanding to know 'what happened' to her. Consequently, Ulrika felt compelled to hit back, explaining to her followers that she went makeup-free for the record; hence, her complexion looks different. She also proudly declared that, as she progresses into her late fifties, she 'will never look like the fresh 21yr old [sic] that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board'. Ulrika's clapback was perfect, as she stressed that, yes, her appearance is going to change as she ages, and it would be both naïve and foolish to believe otherwise – but the fact that she felt a need to address it at all proves we have a problem. We live in an era of 'Botox in a bottle' and the invention of new cosmetic procedures every other week. It's impossible to open TikTok without a twenty-something influencer trying to flog a ridiculous skincare device to you or urging you to try an anti-ageing hack with zero scientific backing. Gone are the days of allowing yourself to grow old without injectables or surgery. If you're not panicking about the prospect of going grey or doing what you can to prevent wrinkles, even before you've hit 30, the world wants to know why. As a result, everyone has seemingly forgotten what a normal, ageing face looks like and greets it with horror and disgust each time they're reminded that – if it weren't for fillers, laser treatments, lifts, and tucks – it's completely plausible for them to look like that, too. I'm not judging. I fully support doing what you want with your appearance. I also have a lot of grace for the women, in particular, who are condemning other women for looking older. We live in a deeply misogynistic society where every one of us has been violently chewed up and spat back out by diet culture and unrealistic, unattainable beauty standards. But we need to break this cycle. Because I'm left scared of how I'm going to be treated or talked about if I don't go down the route of tweakments and filtering my pictures as I age. Already, I feel societal pressure to prepare my skin for the future. I wear a daily SPF (which, to be honest, is recommended for protecting against skin cancer) in the hopes that it may also prevent wrinkles. I think I love my daily skincare routine, but I'd be lying if I said I did it wholly for fun. I know that even when it feels like a chore, I press on because I think it's essential for maintaining a youthful appearance for as long as I can. But I don't want to fear getting older. I don't want to feel as though I have an expiry date as a woman and that my value and importance decrease with each passing day. As someone who has fought an eating disorder for 15 years now, as well as almost paralysing bouts of depression and anxiety, I view ageing as a privilege. It is such a blessing to grow older when not everyone gets that chance, and, after once being adamant that I wouldn't survive past high school, each day I live now is a gift. Alas, the rest of the world feels differently and is determined to push back their biological clocks as much as possible, making it all the more agonising to merely exist as someone who has higher priorities than fearing developing frown lines or thinning hair. As women, there are already countless factors working against us – whether that be pay disparity, gender-based violence, slut shaming, or medical negligence. Please, let's stop making life even harder by trying to prevent the inevitable. Ulrika Jonsson is far from the first woman to fall victim to age-shaming, and she certainly won't be the last. Even Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson, 58, isn't safe from backlash when she rocks up to a red carpet without makeup. What's more, glam country music queen Dolly Parton, 79, felt the need to warn Sabrina Carpenter, 26, when they collaborated recently, laughing as she told her in a now-viral clip: 'You'll be this old one day!' Sabrina's response had me tearful, as it represented everything we need to be telling each other: 'I know, I can't wait. I hope I look like you!' There's no age limit on beauty. It both breaks my heart and angers me that older women have been made to feel any different. Now, we need to use Ulrika as a springboard. Allow her words to generate just one conversation about stamping out the narrative that a woman must remain bright-eyed and baby-faced and defy the laws of biology long into her adult life, and how insane that notion is. Let Ulrika's defiant stance towards age-shaming trolls be the antidote to the youth-obsessed influencers. More Trending She's not perfect; no one is suggesting that. As a self-proclaimed sun worshipper, there's no doubt this will have caused premature signs of ageing and avoidable damage to her complexion. But regardless of how often she likes to sunbathe, she shouldn't be slated for looking like a normal 57-year-old woman. Everyone, including me, has become so terrified of ageing that they're no longer enjoying being young. And that's no way to live. Do you have a story you'd like to share?

Tammy Hembrow talks 'falling in love' again as she admits 'going at slower pace'
Tammy Hembrow has wowed fans by sharing some gorgeous new photos of herself in a blue printed dress as she spoke about 'finding love' again and 'going at a slower pace' Australian fitness model and Instagram influencer Temmy Hembrow has been hitting the headlines recently after she announced she was divorcing husband Matt Zukowski last month. The 31-year-old confirmed their split in a TikTok video, as she spoke opening about her 'heartbreak' over their decision to divorce. Tammy and Love Island Australia star Matt, 29, got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating. They then married on November 23, 2024, however decided to split and file for divorce just seven months later. Mum-of-three Tammy has now spoken about finding love again, however it isn't with a man. Instead, the social media star said she has "fallen in love" with where she lives again – which is Queensland, Australia. However, despite this, some fans still speculated she could have found romance again already, or is rekindling things with Matt. Tammy wrote in the Instagram post: "Lately I've found myself falling in love with where I live all over again. "The slower pace. The way so many people here have similar mindsets. Being by the ocean. Little moments of kindness from strangers (Had about 100 yesterday.) "I don't think I ever stopped noticing but lately it just feels impossible not to. And I just appreciate it more." She added: "The beauty is always there. sometimes we just have to slow down enough to see it. "(Also I feel like it should now be a universal rule to do scissors paper rock instead of fighting over a car park x)." She shared the caption alongside pictures of herself in a plunging baby blues printed dress as well as a photo of the ocean, her kids, coffees and a dessert. People were loving the post, as one person agreed: "A little kindness can honestly make my whole day." While another added: "Beautiful moments add up to a blissful life." A third chimed in: "Beautiful inside and out! We love this era of Tammy! All the blues too." However, others speculated the post was about her relationship status too. One person said: "I see signs you're falling in love with someone. I may be wrong." While another asked: "Are you back with Matt?" A representative for Tammy Hembrow has been contacted. Announcing their split on June 21, Tammy said in her TikTok: "This is giving me so much anxiety … I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce." She then said that she didn't want to go into details about the split or 'bring anyone down." Tammy added: Did I think this was gonna happen? Did I want this? No. Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it's gonna be forever. "And I blame no one but myself, to be honest. "I feel like I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. And I feel like I'm really good at putting on rose-colored glasses or just getting swept up in it all." Tammy previously told Vogue Australia that she and Zukowski had 'an instant connection' after meeting online. She said: "From the very first conversation, there was something that sparked between us,' she told the outlet. 'We were inseparable from that very first date!' Tammy has two children – son Wolf, 10, and daughter Saskia, eight – with her ex Reece Hawkins and three–year–old daughter Posy, shared with her former partner Matt Poole.
