Who doesn't love a little sparkle?

Glitter is like fairy dust for grown-ups. It adds a touch of magic to any look, whether it's for a special occasion or just a regular Tuesday.
It is important when creating glitter looks
In this blog post, we'll explore five stunning ways to apply biodegradable glitter to your face like a pro.

Before we dive into the glitter application techniques, we recommend only ever using cosmetic grade glitter (the biodegradable kind of course!)
When applying glitter to your skin, particularly in sensitive areas like your eyes or lips, it's really important to choose cosmetic grade glitter that has undergone rigorous testing for skin safety.
Additionally, keep in mind that you'll be washing off this glitter, and it will ultimately flow into our waterways. Psssst! We've got a fabulous range of signature Bioglitter blends and individual colours and sizes for you to check out on the website.

1. Glitter Eyeshadow: Sparkle like a disco ball

Want to make your eyes pop? Glitter eyeshadow is the way to go. Apply a neutral base colour on your lids, then dab some of our fine glitter on the centre of your lids for a mesmerising effect. You can go for a subtle shimmer or full-on glitter extravaganza. Just remember, a little goes a long way, unless you're going for a glam rock look.

2. Glitter Eyeliner: Let your eyes do the talking

For a glamorous eye-catching look, try using glitter eyeliner. Here's how to apply it:
Choose a fine glitter in a colour that complements your makeup look.
Using an eye safe cosmetic adhesive and a super thin makeup brush, carefully apply the adhesive along your lash line, going over it again once it's tacky with your chosen glitter on your brush, adding a touch of sparkle to your eyes.

Glitter eyeliner is an excellent way to make your eyes pop and draw attention to them.

3. Glitter Lips: Kiss and sparkle

Who says glitter is just for the eyes? Give your lips some love with glitter lipstick or lip gloss. Apply your favourite lip colour as a base, then add a layer of glitter on top.
We recommend completing your glitter lips with a lip top coat for soe extra shimmer.
You'll have the most kissable and dazzling lips in the room. Just be prepared for some extra attention and compliments.

4. Glitter Nails: Nail the glitter game

Why should your eyes and lips have all the fun? Your nails deserve some glitter too! Paint your nails with a base colour of your choice, then sprinkle some glitter on top while the polish is still wet. Seal it with a top coat, and voila! You'll have the most fabulous and sparkly nails in town.

5. Glitter Body: Shine from head to toe

When you want to achieve that radiant, shimmering glow on your skin that turns heads and captures the light, a DIY glitter-infused body oil is the secret weapon in your beauty arsenal.

You can use any body oil of your choice, such as coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil. Choose one that suits your skin type and preferences.

To ensure you're being environmentally responsible, opt for biodegradable cosmetic glitter. This way, you can shimmer guilt-free knowing that it won't harm the planet.
Different glitters can give you varying levels of shimmer, so choose one that matches your style and the occasion.

Simply pour your chosen oil into a container and add a small amount of biodegradable glitter to the oil. Remember, you can always add more glitter if you'd like a stronger shimmer effect, so start with a modest amount and adjust to your preference.
When you're ready to use your homemade body shimmer, simply apply it to your skin as you would with any body oil. You can target areas like your collarbones, shoulders, arms, and legs for that irresistible sparkle.
