Before using the eyeshadow, apply a lotion or foundation to skin to keep the skin moisturized,so that the eye shadow powder can be applied more evenly and more easily. Use your fingers or a brush to apply the adhesive or primer to your eyelid liberally; follow label directions. Dip a damp fluffy eye-shadow brush into the loose glitter. Lightly tap the brush to remove any excess. If desired, place an index card under your lower lashes to catch any stray glitter. Use the brush to pat the glitter onto your closed lid. Continue until you feel the glitter has settled into place. To brush off glitter that has fallen onto your face, close your eyes and use a large fan brush with a flicking motion to sweep any glitter away.Glitter can cling to eyelashes if you apply mascara first, so save mascara until the end.The most effective method to remove eye glitter is with olive or coconut oil Apply a few drops to a cotton round, gently press the round onto your closed eyes and let it set for about a minute to allow the oil to dissolve your adhesive. Firmly press your fingers on the round and slide it off of your eyelid. You can also safely remove loose glitter with a gentle makeup remover wipe, but it may take several swipes.
