How to Get that Glitter to Stick: Techniques for Face Painters

Next to face paint itself, glitter is the most-used product for many face painters. It’s hard to go wrong when you’re smearing those sparkles on your designs; the trick is getting them to stay put! This tutorial reviews some of my favorite techniques for applying glitter--please chime in with any of your own in the comment section!

I just spritz a little water over my design and puff. Done. I also use the gel glitters and spread with my finger 🙋‍♀️

Very nice overview for all the options. Good video, like always! Maybe next time something about biodegradable ones? Available now in fine and chunky glitter, different brands. Because although they are the most beautiful part of our job, glitters are microplastic, not so pretty for the environment...

Great info! Thanks Tine.

Thanks D, I am trying to decide what to do when I hit 10,000- dance party of course, but I would love to have a special way to celebrate with everyone.

Great video as usual - what glitters do you use? Do you make your own glitter/substrate mixes?

[@fairyfox]

I use mostly what you can buy at Art Factory- they are my bling providers. I don't mix up my own glitters, but I do have a lot of fun loading different glitters on my finger and then smearing them in unique color combos- I think I might play with this more in the future.
