FAQ

Our high quality cosmetic grade glitters are soft to the touch with soft edges so they won't scratch your skin or eyes. They are completely lip safe too!
Contrary to what we’re told about glitter, cosmetic grade glitter shouldn’t be anything to fear using. We still want you to sparkle in confidence, so we’ve partnered with a supplier who makes both biodegradable and regular cosmetic grade glitters. Recent studies show that wastewater treatment facilities are not a significant source for microplastic being released into public waterways. The leftover pieces that escape waste management are really really tiny and will still degrade under environmental conditions of heat, water, oxygen, pH and microorganisms (just not as fast as biodegradable plant-based glitter, but also not in 100’s of years like we’re led to believe).

Q: HOW DO YOU APPLY AND REMOVE GLITTER GEL?
A: 𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
No glue needed! Use your fingertips to tap the product on wherever you'd like. It’s really as easy as tap and go! Fingertips work best, but a silicone brush could also do the job! We believe your finger is the best tool for a smooth and even application, and a brush would be recommended for creating smaller and more precise details. Be sure to tap our glitters down completely so the product lays flat. If you're working on a client, finger gloves or hand gloves are recommended for the best results. Gently shape or clean up the desired areas with a spoolie or clean mascara brush.
Want more sparkle? Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Applying the product in thin layers helps prevent the product from pulling any makeup off. You can create a subtle and more dispersed look, or go for full coverage.
Our budge-proof formula formula dries down completely and stays put all day!
Need extra strength? Be sure to use an eyeshadow primer or use our mixing medium if you’re wearing any makeup under your glitter. Though our glitter gels don’t need a glue, adding some adhesive underneath to boost it’s wear time could be helpful for those wild long days. This is also very helpful for those with oily eyelids to prevent the product from creasing!

The easiest recommended removal for all our glitter is by using micellar water on a cotton pad to remove your makeup and glitter. For non-biodegradable cosmetic glitter, please do not wash into our waterways. Instead, remove with a micellar water on a cotton pad, a spoolie, tape (not packing tape), or lint roller.
Biodegradable glitter can be washed off without any worries! Simply rinse the remaining glitter off with water. You may remove any loose specs with any cleanser a spoolie, tape, or a lint roller. Avoid using makeup wipes!!! They'll only create more waste and spread the glitter around.
Q: STORAGE (WHAT TO DO IF THEY DRY OUT)
A: Please store your glitter gels in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Be sure to keep the cap tightly closed when the product is not in use. Average shelf life is 24 months. Average time until a gel dries out is 12 months. It could dry out sooner if not used for a long time or if left open or in the sun. If the product dries out, add a very small amount of our Reviving Potion (or aloe vera gel as a more temporary solution) and mix until the desired constancy is met. Aloe gel could still dry the product out so it’s only recommended as a temporary solution. Our Reviving Potion is great for making your glitter gels just like new again with that same magic from our formula.
Q: HOW TO USE OUR MIXING POTION
A: Our Multi-Purpose Mixing Potion can do it all!
As a rehydrator: Add a few drops to a gel based product that has dried out. You can also mix the desired amount of product on the back of your hand if you don't want to mix directly in the jar. This potion will revive your product from the dead without compromising our budge-proof formula.
As a mixing medium: Mix to change the jelliness and spreadability of glitter gels, or to create a gel out of loose glitter or pigments. Be sure to work with tiny amounts so the product dries down quicker, you won't need a lot of this stuff unless that's how you want it.
As a primer: Use as a budge-proof primer under any makeup product. Tap a tiny amount over the desired area before applying makeup on top.
