Hello my gorgeous, glittery fans! I wanted to share with you a makeup trick of mine that I came up with a friend of mine and then the other part is a
pixiwoo tip. So, if you're going to do a glitter eye, you must NOT apply any face makeup before you do it. You SHOULD apply an eye shadow primer and then a base color that is similar or complimentary to the color glitter you want to apply to your eyelid. You apply the shadow primer and base color, AND THEN, you use a clear eyelash glue, and spread that carefully over the lid where you want the glitter to stick. You can find clear eyelash glue at drug stores. They're a little harder to find, but they're there. Once the glitter is on, take your glitter and a brush you don't care about, and press it onto your lip. The glitter will stick and literally will not move for the whole night/show, etc. If you're concerned about putting glue on your lid, don't be. Eyelash glue is meant to be near your eyes and doesn't cause any damage or hurt. I've done it tons of times.
The second part of this is a clean up tip! You will have A LOT of fallout from the glitter, and there is NOTHING WORSE than glitter face. So, you can take a brush, or even a pencil, or pen, or anything small that you can use, and put tape on it and then gently press it over areas of your face that are covered in glitter. It will pick it up, AND, if you usually dust off glitter fallout with brushes, this is a way to avoid getting glitter out of them. Glitter eyes are definitely my favorite. I like to use MAC glitter pigments, Makeup Forever Diamond Powders and glitters, etc. GO FOT IT!
