Do you like to wear glitter?

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Do you like to wear glitter? Whether it’s on your nails, hair, eyes, or lips… Where do you like it? Where do you not?

.

I love glitter, period. It’s fun! I’d love to see more eye-safe glitters, but I do prefer wearing glitter on my nails or in lipgloss.

I LÖÖÖVE wearing glitter in my Face, like Nivea Diamond Powder! Or sparkly natural or bright eye shadow, yum ~ I also adore sparkly lip gloss, I absolutely love IsaDora 3-D Gloss in Sparkling Crystals! Sparkly nail polish is also very nice. :] Soo... I love sparkles, they're sooo pretty, I love looking at them in light xD ♥

I find glitter to be a pain in the butt and just dont like the look on myself. Its a pain to take off your nails and just gets everywhere. As far as on the eyes or whatever, its pretty, just not for me.

No. Not even in nail polish. I only have glittery cosmetics in my stage makeup kit. Generally for everyday, even if I want to jazz it up, I prefer to use cosmetics with either a high amount of shimmer, particularly those that look like molten metal.

multi colored chunky glitter is a must on lips, glitter on my eyes is too painful it always manages to get in your eyeball

I don't use a lot of glitter myself but I love how fun it can be :) I would not hesitate to use glitter for a nighttime or party look but that would be a rare occasion. I do almost always use glitter on my nails when I paint them, but again thats a rare occasion for me as well :)

not really. glitter makeup annoys me with all the fallout

yes, love anything sparkly period.

On my face... in general no. I do love the MAC Reflects Gold glitter on my eyes for evening looks though, but it is still a very subtle, finely-milled glitter. I do not like glittery blush or lipstick/lipgloss. I LOVE glitter nail polish though.

Yes...on my temples and on my nails. That's it.

I LOVE GLITTER!!!!! I cant walk into a store and pass any glitter up. My boyfriend doesnt know what to do with me. :)

I wear glitter on my nails and lips almost every day. I'd like to wear it on my eyes more often, so I use a thin line of Urban Decay Heavy Metal liquid liner for a bit of sparkle all the time.

I absolutely loooove glitter!Especially MAC glitters!I put it on my hair, mix it with clear nail polish on my nails,mix it with foundation for emphasizing certain parts of my face and mix it with body lotion to make hands/shoulders/back sparkle (especially in the summer). Also, i mix it with Fix+ and use it on my eyes...i know you are really not supposed to, but i do it anyways :)

I wear glitter on occasion. Not too much though, then it just becomes tacky.

I'm all about the BLING, and glitter is no exception, however I do have to keep it low key during the week, when I'm at work!

Yeah, I love glitter, I use glitter eyeshadows and eyeliners, glittery lipsticks/lipglosses, although for my face I prefer shimmer not glitter. I don't really use nail polish, but if I do, I go for pretty shimmery colours, not glitter.

I really like glitter. I don't do glitter polish too often because it's distracting to the students I work with but I love glitter eyeshadow and super sparkly gloss sometimes. I use glitter liner or Ben Nye's glitter with a q-tip every so often. I also try to use my UD glitter shadows, I'll try again soon using tape to clean up fall out.

I love glitter! In my nail polish, in my lipgloss, in my eyeshadow, and in my hair spray!

I am a glitter fanatic! Mom disagrees though, she says I look like a *cough* streetwalker. Liza Minnelli is one of my fave performers and I want to dazzle like her...so what better way to do that than with a whole lot of glitter? On my nails, lipstick, eyeshadow, blush...I'll wear it all..

I love glitter once in a while, I mostly like it on my lips, nails and hair. Once in a while I would wear it on my eyes too. My all time favourite glitter is this one from Red Earth because it looks like crushed opals. Too bad I can't find Red Earth anywhere now.

Eyes, nails, lips, lashes (not all at the same time - tee hee hee)... I LOVE glitter! It is such a pick me up

I adore glitter! I definitely wear it on my nails most often because you don't really get any fallout with the polish. haha. But I still love the occasional glitter shadow. I do keep it out of my hair though, just because it never goes away!

Love it! I like eye glitters, glittery lip gloss and nail polish. I like loose glitters, but they can be more difficult to use on the eyes and tend not to be eye safe.

Yea I have to admit..I do use glitter on my eyes that I shouldnt but Im on the hunt for some good eyesafe glitters.

Just on my nails. If Im feeling adventurous I might pull out some glitter eyeliner, but otherwise, I dont like the look of glitter on me (especially on my lips and face). I guess it just looks so unnatural.

i like glittery nails, glittery lipgloss, glittery eyeshadow, glittery blusher i wear it in my hair sometimes. i like glittery clothes and shoes. so yes, i do love all things glittery :D

oh, and lipstick and eyeliner too!

Eye safe? Whats that? ;) I JUST did a client for a concert that she had tonight. Used MACs 3D Silver ALL OVER the eyes (lash to brow) and Reflects Transparent Teal as a highlight on her cheeks and body. She looked awesome under the stage lights! I hadnt used Reflects Transparent Teal as a highlight before (not your everyday make-up I suppose) but on stage it ROCKED!

Well I prefer shimmer better but glitter is ok if not too much. Maybe Ive had too many problems with the fall out. On the nails I have a hard time getting it on evenly. I bought the Sephora by OPI How many carats. It is super shimmery/sparkly. I love this stuff. Ive tried it over just about all my other polishes.

I just remembered I did see some glitter polishes that I want but cant afford. Its the Deborah Lippman I think Celebrate trio. Absolutely gorgeous but its $35 and sold out anyway.

I love glitter, wish I could wear it more. I find it hard to find uses for loose glitter, minus putting it in nailpolish. I also wish there were more eyesafe varieties, it would make it much more simple to use.

I can NOT get enough glitter. I LOVE glitter! I will wear it everywhere. Hair, lips, eyes, face, arms and nails.

Yes, I love wearing it as eye liner and on my nails! Also on my lids with the recent MAC shadows!

Only if its in the form of an eyeshadow and I wear it at night. Almost all glittery eyeshadows I know are exagerated and I cant wear them on a daily basis because of that. On the other hand, I hate it on nail polishes. Hate hate hate.

You bet!!! In fact, I don't know what I'd do without it. I mostly wear glitter on my eyes or nails but recently I've been using it in my hair as well. One of my favourite things to do is mixing a tiny bit of MAC reflects antique gold glitter with shine serum and putting that in my hair when I've finished styling it. It makes my hair look so healthy and shiny; which is always a good thing, right? :-)

eyes..as an eyeliner! i love putting glittery pigments over blacktrack its gorgeous as an eyeliner :)

I love glitter. I love doing party looks with glitter all over the lids !!! I wear it sometimes on my nails, but glitter nail polish is not my fav !! I love glitter on the lips too :) yes, I am a glitter fan

I can glitter up my game, but only do it around xmas. I absolutely HATE glitter on my lips though, always wnds up with me having a glitterbeard instead.

I love glitter! I like it on my eyes and in some lipglosses (dazzleglasses, especially). I rarely wear it on my nails.

i like glitter on my nails! i love wearing orly nail polish in love each other coz it is transparent with purple shimmer in it. so pretty! i dont like glitter on my lips!

Hard Candy @ wal mart has awesome eye glitters. I have a blue/turquoise one that is gorgeous.
