Specifics
1. I love the alliteration of bandit of the beautiful, though I'm not one hundred percent sure what it means. I guess that she steals beauty or beautiful people?
2. I think constellations should be on the line above as the pause between cosmetic and constellations doesn't have a great flow and especially with the being your title, the two words should be on the same line. Again, pretty alliteration.
3. I think 'glimmering with highlight' is weak. You already have showers of spotlights and that's beautiful so this feels like a less strong way of saying the same thing.
4. Why four layers of skin? Foundation is only one additional layer so what are the others? It seems a strange statement and needs some justification. Also, is the foundation a layer of skin or a mask? It's okay for it to be both but at the moment it's not very clear. I like the description of what's below the layers and that you've kept the cosmology imagery going with the freckles as stars and her pale skin.
Overall
The last two lines are really nice and they're a great way to end the poem and in general I really like this. In fact I don't think I have anything else to say except keep up the good work and I hope my suggestions help a little.
