How to Keep Glitter Makeup in Place All Day How do you keep glitter on your cheekbones instead of finding it on your shirt halfway through the day? Start with a base that suits the look you’re creating. A thin layer of primer works well for glitter makeup, while face gems, stencil tattoos and glitter hair each need a slightly different approach. Glitter Primer for Face and Eye Makeup Glitternisti Glitter Primer is a clear, lightweight base that gives glitter something to grip. It’s a good starting point for a sweep of sparkle across your cheekbones, a festival look or a precise glitter accent over eyeshadow. Apply a thin layer only where you want the glitter to go. Gently press the glitter onto the primer with a fingertip or a small brush, then let it set. A little fine cosmetic glitter works well for precise details, while chunky glitter gives cheekbone and temple looks more texture. For eyelids or other areas near the eyes, check that both the glitter and the primer are suitable for the exact area you’re working on. Keep them clear of the waterline. Petroleum Jelly for Quick Glitter Looks Petroleum jelly or another thick, water-free balm works well for a quick sweep of glitter on the cheekbones or a simple body glitter look. It stays soft, so you can move a few flecks around as you work and wipe the look away easily afterwards. For a precise glitter line or a look on the moving eyelid, choose a primer suitable for that area. A rich balm can collect in the crease as you blink. For children’s face glitter, use petroleum jelly or another water-free balm and choose cosmetic glitter suitable for the area. Glitter Glue for Face Gems and Glitter Tattoos Glitternisti Glitter Glue is a water-soluble cosmetic adhesive. It’s useful when you want to secure individual face gems or keep the edges of a stencil tattoo crisp. For face gems, apply a small amount where each gem will sit, following the glue’s instructions. For glitter tattoos, apply a thin layer inside the stencil and use fine cosmetic glitter to fill in the details. A glue-based tattoo can last a few days, depending on where you place it and how often it gets washed or rubbed. Use glitter glue on children’s hands and body only. For a design on the cheek, use petroleum jelly or another water-free balm and check that the glitter is suitable for facial use. Hair Gel for Glitter Hair and Beards Ordinary hair gel gives glitter something to grip along a parting, across a braid or around the base of a ponytail. You can use the same technique to add sparkle to a beard. Smooth a little gel onto the area first, then dab on the glitter with your fingertip or a brush. You can also mix a pinch of glitter into the gel before applying it. For eyebrows, choose products specifically suitable for use near the eyes. How to Remove Glitter Without Rinsing It Down the Drain Gently wipe away as much glitter as possible with a makeup remover wipe or a cotton pad. An oil-based remover can help loosen glitter glue. Put used disposable pads or wipes in the bin. If you use a reusable pad, collect the loose glitter before washing it. Once you’ve lifted away the visible glitter, cleanse your skin as usual. For hair or beard glitter, brush out the loose flecks before washing and collect them for the bin.

Glitter Tattoos for Children’s Events A glitter tattoo takes just a few minutes, making a drop-in station a good fit for events where children are moving between activities. Guests can choose from designs such as unicorns, stars, hearts, butterflies, rainbows and dinosaurs, then pick the colours they want. For larger events, we can also create a custom stencil featuring your event logo, mascot or a design that matches the theme. A glitter tattoo made with glitter glue can last a few days, depending on where it’s applied and how much it gets washed or rubbed. Glitter Makeup for Kids’ Parties A glitter makeup station gives older children another way to join in. They can choose a little sparkle on their cheekbones or a bolder festival-style design at their temples. We adapt the activity to the children’s ages and the products’ age guidance. At Glitternisti events, children under five get glitter tattoos on their hands only. For children’s face designs, we use petroleum jelly or another water-free balm with cosmetic glitter suitable for the area. Glitter glue is used on the hands and body only. How to Fit a Glitter Station Into Your Event At a birthday party, the glitter station can run alongside games so children can stop by whenever they’re ready. At a school event or festival, it can be one of several activity stations. At a company family day, you could use different colours for teams or offer a custom design that ties in with the event. If you’re planning a staff event that welcomes families, explore Glitternisti’s corporate event services.

The Christmas party season is full of celebrations, encounters, and evening get-togethers. However, many event organizers ponder the same question year after year: How do you organize a Christmas party that doesn't feel like all the others?

Glitter children's party, that's where the party season begins! As autumn arrives, the Halloween spirit slowly starts to creep into homes, daycares, and schools. Halloween is a particular favorite holiday for children, when little witches, skeletons, and superheroes get to show off their imaginative
