Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry completely before moving to the next to prevent smudging.
Use a clean sponge for each gradient application to ensure color clarity.
For more intricate glitter placements, consider using tweezers for precision.
Practice dot placement on a piece of paper first if you're new to using a dotting tool.
