Best Way to Apply Cosmetic Glitter?

Nov 29, 2011

I just got a sample set of all the Coastal Scents glitters and i'm not quite sure how to apply them.

I know you can mix them in nail polish and lip gloss, do you guys know any other cool tricks to use it with?

And how do I get it to really stick to my lid? Should I get a fixative or would NYX JEP be enough for it to stick to?

Thanks for all the help!

My favourite way to get glitters to adhere to my lids is the LAsplash eyeshadow base and sealer - I got it from Ulta, only about $4 or $5. Works SO well. =]

the too faced glitter glue is amazing for packing glitter on the lid and it literally does not budge, it's amazing.

I've heard the too faced glitter one is amazing, I really wanna try it - but right now can't afford it (not to mention don't NEEEED it haha).
LAsplash is definitely a good one at a cheap price though!

I have no idea if this works or not but I had somebody recommend this Sally's glitter glue to me. My biggest concern is putting something over my shadows and having them get all messed up.

Too Faced Glitter Insurance is the best I have tried. I'm sure that LA splash would work as well. I have never tried it, but I do trust a Dragqueen and her glitter! (Petrilude, for those who didn't get that)

The glitter one from sallys isn't that great after a few hours the glitter starts to fall off which leaves you with a face full of glitter by the end of the night

If you have clear eyelash glue you can use that as well and apply the glitter on top. investing in a glitter adhesive would probably be nice though.

Visine or any other eye drops working really well. Yes, its 100% safe to use on your lids and works really well. So skip the expensive stuff and use eye drops.

i'm going to try out the LA Splash one...using eyelash glue has given me nothing but hell when it comes to packing glitter on my eyelids.

You could use any creamy sticky base, or I like to use a chap stick on my lids and the glitter will stick to it.
