Eye Kandy Queen here.....I actually take my eyeshadow and put the glitter directly into it, and stir with with an orange stick, then apply as always. It adheres to the shadow and applies evenly (I LOVE Loreal Hip but MAC also works..but more expensive). And if I want it nude on my eye, I either use a sheer powder or a matte/creme format and put the glitter directly into it. Again, stir, and apply with a brush. Works like a charm. You can then LIGHTLY hairspray over it to make it stick--Boz used to use astroglide, and it works, gel makes my lids freak out, but hairspray works, or you can paint over it with the Liquid Sugar adhesive. I've heard this about LiquiSet by Ben Nye and She-Laq but I'm violently allergic to both.

For glitter eyeliner, I've been trying the Victoria's secret glitter liquid liner... I'm really like it so far, and it's staying on and of course it's safe cause it's designed as an eyeliner. They have some limited colors...but I'm really liking the Silver and the Purple-y/red color.

I just got a new camera that does video well. I'll see about doing a glitter application video and getting it onto youtube for you.

Got this idea from the Bhuz boards...and it works: Water based KY jelly (or other "lube")...for real...works with Eye Candy and other loose glitter... Also Makeup Forever has a great ssetting liquid...works well with the pigments...I'll mix things together sometimes (glitter and pigment) and this stuff wears like iron!

A goth girl I met at a bar suggested applying a gel or liquid glitter first and then dusting it with glitter powder for a dazzling look that stays and stays.

I found this stuff...I'm going to buy some and try it out. I'll post when I do: http://store.glittergaloreandmore.com/BB-CLM.html Also, good old fashioned Jerome Russell glitter works well, though I haven't used it on eyelids. Still, if you're wanting to use a finer glitter, check out the above site! :0)

I wear eye kandy glitter every single day, both for stage and for street makeup. I love it and get compliments on it all the time and I'm 41 years old. I also bought an Eye Kandy distributorship because I loved the product so much, and because it is safe for use around the eyes, unlike the glitters I was using prior to that. Really, for any loose glitter, you need a decent adhesive. I use Liquid Sugar, which is what comes with eye kandy, but you could also use she-laq or Ben Nye's final seal. Half the application is having a good adhesive, and the other half is a decent brush for application. I use a rounded edge applicator brush for using glitter as a shadow, and an angled liner brush if I'm wearing it as an eyeliner. I dampen (not saturate) my brush in adhesive, then dip it in the loose glitter and paint it on in small strokes. If I don't like the look, I just wash it off and start again.

The fixative I swear by is She-Laq by Benefit. It's a liquid similar to what comes with Eye Kandy, but I find it has WAY better staying power in hot, sweaty situations. I paint on a thin layer and then press loose glitter into it and let it dry. The stuff is ironclad, waterproof and sweatproof. I love it.

Be careful of using glitters that do not specifically state that they are for use around your EYES. Not all glitters are created equal. Most glitters are made of small pieces of METAL, that if they get in your eye, can scratch your cornea & cause permanent damage. No matter how many times you've "used it & it's been ok", it only takes once for it to cause permanent damage - and is it really worth that risk? Products like Eye Kandy, however, are specifically formulated & tested to be used around the eyes. Eye Kandy in particular is made of a polymer material in stead of metal, which won't scratch your cornea if it gets into your eyes. Be sure to read the "ingredients" labels on your glitters, and if you're not sure what they're made of, don't use them on your eyes.

i love Eye Kandy, but already have so much glitter i told myself i didnt need any more >_< i use a jar of body glitter gel, and a stack of about 10 colors of loose glitter that i got at claire's. it's not the finest grade of glitter, but i've never had problems with it. you can usually find very fine grade glitters at craft stores, but they most likely won't have a large selection of colors. i just usually apply the glitter as a liner- applying glitter over the whole lid needs a better "sealant" to keep it from creasing or staying sticky on your eyelids. i'm not familiar with the liquid that comes with the Eye Kandy, but it might work well for that. what i do is use a small lipstick brush and apply a line of the glitter gel across my lash line, and then dip the brush into the loose glitter and pat the glitter onto the line of gel. i might do 2 or 3 coats, depending on what i'm going for. then just wait for the gel to dry. keep your eyes half closed so the wet gel doesnt stick to the upper part of your eyelid. i either fan my eyes with a folder...or whatever i have around than will "fan," or if i'm in more of a hurry, i'll close my eyes and use my hairdryer on the low setting to dry the gel. you'll be able to tell when the gel is dry because it won't feel "cold" anymore.

Hey girl! I'm 44 and see no reason not to wear glitter especially if you're a performer! I don't go onstage without it! Age be damned, it's all in how you work it!!!

I get the Milani Glitter Glamour Duo is Silver - they've got is at Walgreens and CVS, and it's Mascara on one side, and eye glitter gel on the other. The gold and Silver are pretty sparkly, the blue not so much so and I forget what the fourth color they had was. I also use it as an adhesive for my Eye Candy - blue glitter base with lime-y eye candy over top!

This is just el cheapo cosmetic gliiter that I picked up at Claire's. I love the look of glitter on other people but as I am 44 I think it looks weird on me. Mutton trying to be lamb, you know? I figured if I din't like it, I'm not out that much. I must be doing something wrong because it goes everywhere and will not stay put.

I swear by Eye Kandy - so much so that I'm a distributor. :) I've heard you can use a little aloe vera as a base or very diluted hair gel. Never tried it myself though, so I'm not sure how well it works or if it could cause irritation. Be sure you don't use regular craft glitter - get a cosmetic glitter. Craft glitter is full of nasty bits that can scratch your eyes.

Belilah 2008-08-01T19:33:53Z Saffa Nawal http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/67164a12-f908-4d3a-9af2-e4e1148c3efd#cd04861a-e197-44e1-87e5-1c475217c291 2008-08-01T10:34:19Z 2008-08-01T10:34:19Z

Can anyone point me toward a tutorial for apply glitter to eyelids? I love the look on other people and am trying to learn how to apply it on myself. Also, what do you use for a fixative if the glitter didn't come with fixative? What are people's favorite glitters? I have seen Eye Kandy but no one sells it around my area.
