For Photoshop® versions 6 through CS5 (updated 1/28/09).

Works best For High Res images (6 - 12 MP) where face takes up at least 1/4th or more of the document area.

Mama's Sparkles Action will create a Group/Set with a Mask, above the currently highlighted layer. Paint with an Airbrush Soft Round with white to reveal the sparkles, paint with black to conceal them. You can also adjust the Hue of the sparkles by double-clicking on the Color Me 1 & Color Me 2 layers contained inside the Group/Set. While this was formulated for glitzy eye shadows, you can get creative and apply in other areas. The sparkles works best on high res images (6 to 12 MP) where the face is at least 25% or greater of document area.
