When it comes to fixing glitter, it’s good to know that there are several methods available, each with its own benefits and purposes. Glitter makeup fixing is not as daunting as it may appear, and with the right tips and products, you can keep your glitter in place all day long!
How to Choose the Right Fixing Method?
Before selecting a fixing method, consider how long you need the glitter to stay in place and which area of your skin you plan to use it on. For example, if you know you’ll be spending a long day at an event or party, you might need a more durable fix. On the other hand, if you only plan to wear glitter for a short time, you can opt for a lighter alternative.
glitter fix with glitter primer
The Glitternisti Glitter Primer is the perfect solution for fixing your glitter makeup when you want it to stay in place all day long! This glitter primer is transparent, lightweight, and has a gel-like texture that keeps the glitter secure without clumping or creating a visible layer on the skin.
The glitter primer is suitable for all types of glitter and is specially designed for challenging areas like the eyelids or under-eye region. Its flexible formula works wonderfully on top of eyeshadow as well, allowing the glitter to shine brightly while keeping the base color vibrant.
The glitter primer is easy to apply and quick-drying—Glitternisti Glitter Primer ensures your glitter looks stunning for hours, whether you’re at a party or just adding some sparkle to your everyday look. This product is a must-have for all glitter lovers!
How to use glitter primer:
Apply the glitter primer to the desired area using your fingers or a brush. Place the glitter on top. Done!
glitter fix with glitter glue
Glitter glue is your best friend when you need a truly long-lasting hold for your glitter makeup.
The water-soluble glue sold by Glitternisti is a skin-friendly way to attach glitters and face gems to the face or other parts of the body. A stronger hold is recommended, for example, when applying glitter tattoos, face gems, or when you need a super-durable attachment for your glitter makeup (performances, etc.).
With skin glue, it’s important to note its fast-drying nature and more laborious removal process, so it’s best not to use too much on children’s faces or eyelids! Glitter glue is perfect for attaching glitter tattoos. You can read more about glitter tattoos here!
Removing Glitter Glue
Glitter glue is easy to wash off with water and an oil-based makeup remover. Be sure to pay special attention to the delicate skin around the eyes.
GLITTER FIX WITH WATERFREE CREAM
Vaseline or other oil-based products are suitable for fixing glitter makeup when the glittered area is small, you want easy removal, or if you’re applying glitter to children.
Vaseline provides enough hold for glitter makeup, and the glitter will stay in place as long as you avoid touching it directly.
Using Vaseline allows for easy touch-ups throughout the day, as it doesn’t absorb into the skin due to its oil-based formula. Other oil-based products also work well for securing glitter makeup!
Vaseline effectively holds glitter in place while allowing for gentle removal. Glitter makeup can be wiped off without the need for any special products.
Removing Glitter Makeup
Removing glitter is easy with the right tools. Use facial cleansing wipes or baby wipes to remove the glitter. For the final touches, you can use tape, which efficiently picks up any loose glitter. If you’ve used skin-friendly glue, try using an oil-based makeup remover before using the tape. The most important thing to remember is that glitter should never go down the drain—instead, dispose of it in the trash! You can watch an instructional video on removing glitter makeup here.
Tips for Applying Glitter
- Avoid wrinkles: Don’t apply glitter to areas with a lot of wrinkles or movement, as it may clump up.
- Avoid overly strong adhesives: Different skin areas require different adhesives. For eyelids, use lighter products like a glitter primer.
- Avoid vertical shapes: Glitter should highlight the face with horizontal patterns rather than vertical ones.
- Avoid glitter blocks: Fine glitters can make the makeup look dull. Consider if your desired look is easier to achieve with chunky glitters instead.
- Avoid surprises: Test your glitter makeup in advance, especially if using skin glue and attending an important event.
- Avoid glitter ending up in the drain: When removing glitter, remember to be eco-friendly and dispose of used materials properly.
