Supplies Best glitter for faceups? (That stays glittery through MSC)

Dec 8, 2024

    1. I use mica powder, however it's so fine that it gives off more of a pearlescent highlight rather than glitter. I'm looking for something a little more noticeable, but am worried that bigger flecks of glitter might fall off easier.
       
    2. I've used PearlEx, but my MSC has been pretty wonky lately, so I couldn't tell you how well it sticks.

    3. What look are you going for, and where are you trying to apply it?

    4. I was going to apply it on the under eye/cheek area for a dramatic almost rave-like makeup look. I guess I just want the glitter to look more noticeable than just a light dust with a pearl finish.
       
    5. If shimmer is not giving the right look (even when sealing it with semi-gloss sealant), I can highly advise looking for flakes and such used for nails.
      There are flakes, foils, and regular glitter chunks you can apply with a little diluted gloss :) It will stick to the face just fine.

    6. I second that opinion.
