I'm a mua and beauty consultant for the last 2 years, I do freelance on the side but I just finished doing my friends makeup, I decided to try a glitter eye look on her to compliment her outfit, everything was goin great I took all the appropriate steps and then I applied the glitter base (hard candy show girl secret glitter adhesive) and all the eyeshadow under it disappeared then I applied the glitter (NYX loose glitter on the go) I just wouldnt stick and then after a while the bits that did stick clumped up, the more I tried to fix it the worse it got :( I fear I'm after sending her out looking like god knows what... any tips on where I went wrong or what I should do next time.

Oh no poor thing! I don't have an answer for you because I haven't worked with glitter yet. I'm eager to find out though because I could see myself doing the same thing.

Try using another base for the glitter. Personally, I use LA Splash Eyeshadow Base/ Sealer. I only use it for glitter because it's way too sticky to use as an eyeshadow base. When I do do glitter on my eyes, I apply a thin layer of the sealer, wait a couple of seconds for it to dry & pat the glitter on. I've also seen people use white eyelash glue for glitter.

I have used the hard candy adhesive and it works great. I think you applied it wrong. I put the adhesive on brush then dip into glitter then apply to lid. The adhesive is a watery consistency so if you apply directly to lid it's going to wash off eye shadow! Hope this helps!

Going to practice, practice, practice! now to get this right, I'm way to much of a perfectionist now to let this beat me!

N make sure you use a patting motion verses a swiping motion when apply glitter.
