Glitter eyebrows, glitter lips, glitter hair and glitter boobs - every summer there seems to be a new trend concerning sparkles and gems.

So, which body part is getting doused in glitter in 2018? Bums!

Yes, the glitter booty is reportedly this year's hottest festival look.

The Gypsy Shrine, a UK body art and hair braiding business, is being credited with starting the trend.

Artist Mia Kennington was inspired by the sandy-butt look after a trip to the Beyond Sahara festival in Morocco.

She told Cosmopolitan magazine:

"It was a hectic day because we were glittering up everybody and also had to get content for our website. So (artist Sophia Moreno and I) just had to spark off ideas in a span of, like, 20 minutes. We were in bikinis and were getting sand all over our butts anyway, so we were like, 'Well, what if we enhance this?' So we just did loads and loads of glitter."

So, how do you get the sparkly bum look?

1. Paint your booty with body paint and then layer on hair gel. Yes, hair gel! Mia's secret is VO5 Perfect Hold Styling Gel.

2. While the gel is tacky, use a paintbrush to pack on the glitter.

3. If glitter isn't enough for you, add gemstones.

4. Mia recommends using hairspray or makeup setting spray to set everything.

Will you be sporting the glitter bum this summer?!
