Primers for glitter eyeshadow?

I use UDPP, and some glitter eyeshadows and loose primers aren't as glittery on the eyes :( I've heard about primers for glitter, but I wouldn't know where to start, any recommendations?

Hmm maybe you could use DUO glue for eyelashes to prime? I'll have to try it...

No, don't use eyelash glue to "glue on" glitter makeup. You risk your skin sticking to itself which can cause permanent and premature sagging.

I second Deisha - the LA Splash one is fantastic! And so freaking cheap haha.

I used LA Splash on halloween for my glitter makeup and it stayed on until the next morning, even after a lot of sweatiness and dancing!

I have heard that the too faced glitter glue works really well! Something I need to try : )

Thanks guys! I'm not worried about how long it lasts, I want something that will keep the colour just as pigmented and glittery as it is in the jar, because when I put them over most ordinary primers, the glitter is gone :(

I love the TooFaced one. I don't use that much/any glitter (more shimmers and mattes), but it works wonderfully for me everyday and I don't think it would work differently with glitter.

Yeah, I can get Too Faced in the shops but not LA splash or Fyrinnae, and the shipping to the UK is insane >_< I'm gonna look into this, thanks everyone! :)

I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but if it is, can someone tell me? I'm still kinda new.

Anyway, I've noticed that a lot of you UK girls (and others) have had issues with getting items to you in your home countries. My husband and I recently started a forwarding business. We've been concentrating on Israel up till now (since that's where I'm originally from) but if you wanted, I'd be happy to offer you our services.

Go to www.WeWillShip2U.com and use the Contact Us form there to ask any questions you might have. The full instructions and details are on the site, and we're happy to help you in any way we can. And if you want, PM me and I'll send you my eBay username so you can check my rating (100% positive) as a measure of trust.

Hope this isn't inappropriate. :) LMK if it is, please.

You absolutely have to try Fyrinnae's pixie epoxy! It is fabulous! Fyrinnae ships internationally and at REALLY reasonable rates for anyone interested in trying them :)

Used DUO to adhere my NYX glitter last night.. worked like a charm, you just have to use a very small amount and be sure to cover the entire tacky area with the glitter. Even if you cover the entire lid, keep you eye closed and give the glue enough time to fully dry (in case you missed any areas with the glitter). The product is made to be used in the eyelash line, so it's probably one of the safest things to use to adhere glitter. Shockingly, my eyelids did not stick to themselves and I suffered no "permanent and premature sagging" as Yasmin suggested. What can I say, I just like to live dangerously.

@Zoe and @Smashley Yeah, their site is the one downside, but it was up earlier today! You have to stalk it to get what you want haha
