Glitter is probably one of the nicest things that can be added to any makeup look, the only downside is that it's a pain to try and apply. The biggest problem with it is trying to get it to stick without moving and preventing fallout. In this post I'm going to show you how to fix both of these problems!
I recently learned a handy tip and that is that moisturizing eye drops can be used as an adhesive for loose glitter. Thankfully I had some handy so I was able to test this out beforehand for the sake of this post. I also used some MAC fix plus in the same way, but since that stuff is
€16.50 a pop I think the eye drops are an easier and cheaper alternative!
I first of all applied some glitter to my hand without anything there. As you can see it is very dispersed and not very eye catching.
I then applied some fix plus to an eye shadow applicator, dipped it in the glitter and applied it to a different part of my hand. The fix plus stuck most of the glitter together and made it easier to apply, it also kept most of it from moving out of place and made washing it off easier because it came off all together instead of separately.
Next I applied some of the moisturizing eye drops to a part of my hand and using another eye shadow applicator I applied some glitter over it. Working in the exact same way as the fix plus, the drops made the glitter stick together and kept all of it in place so it didn't budge. This was also just as easy to wash off.
What I used:
NYX Glitter On The Go in Lime
MAC Fix Plus
Moisturizing Eye Drops
I personally think using the eye drops was a better method and this will be what I'll use in the future. The fact that all the glitter was stuck together meant that there was no fallout which results in a cleaner makeup look and it will prevent you from getting glitter stuck in your pores, and trust me that can actually happen!
I hope this trick was somewhat helpful and you find it as useful as I did. :)
Until next time,
