How to Apply Eye Glitter
Step-by-Step: How to Apply Glitter to Eyes
Step 1: Prime your eyelids
Start with a clean, dry eyelid. Apply an eyeshadow primer or concealer to create a smooth base that helps glitter grip.
Step 2: Apply a glitter-safe adhesive
Use a cosmetic glitter glue - not aloe vera gel as it doesn't create a strong enough hold for eyelids.
Dab a small amount on the area you want glitter - typically the eyelid or inner corner.
Step 3: Tap on the glitter
Use a flat brush or your finger to press the glitter onto the adhesive. For more precision, use a damp detail brush.
Step 4: Layer for intensity
Build the sparkle with a second layer if needed. Use fine glitter and build on the layers.
Step 5: Lock it in
Let it set for a few seconds. Avoid blinking too much while it dries to prevent creasing.
⚠️ Eye Safety Tip: Always use cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter - never craft glitter near the eyes.
Take care and only use fine glitter or ultra fine glitter around your eyes.
