To get glitter off my lids, I usually squirt some micellar water into a cotton round and press it to my eyelid for about 5 seconds then gently wipe away. I usually flip and fold the cotton round until the glitter is all gone off one eye, then use a new cotton round for the other eye.

Cleansing oil is how I can get everything off. Double cleansing is seriously the best.

Tape. Scoth tape orthe clear kind for wraping gifts. It is a drag queen trick. Apply the tape and gently peel the glitter off. Works every time. Then follow up with your double cleanse to remove all the makeup

It's weird, but used dryer sheets pick up a lot of excess glitter on the skin- i think it's their porous texture. I used to used them all the time in my younger days to clean up fallout after doing my super sparkly makeup.

Try an oil. If you don't have a facial oil, I've used cooking oil in a pinch. Good luck!

Tape. Gently tap the sticky surface a few times with your fingers so it doesn’t rip your face hairs or skin off, and then tap the glitter that’s on your face. Should come off. Make sure you’ve gotten most of the oil from previous attempts off, and works better on completely dry skin

Oh man. Looks like you’ve gotten some good advice here, but please report back! ��

Olive oil, vaseline etc. pretty much anything greasy should work. Good luck!

Coconut oil is known to clog pores too, especially for already acne prone skin.

Double cleansing with an oil based cleanser and then a gentler one has always gotten EVERYTHING off my face, even with crazy theater makeup and layers of setting spray.

Tape is actually a really great way to remove glitter.

Tape always

Using a glitter glue primer as a base helps to keep it place so whens it's removal time and you use an oil base removal there is less fallout in other places- I also find that focusing on the eyes first then cleansing again get the rest of the makeup off works well for me- I wear intense colourful looks with heavy shine

When I have a ton of glitter on my lids and feel like it’s just gonna smear all over my face I’ll break out the scotch tape and get off the majority of it before going in with makeup wipes and a makeup removing balm

Edit : I’d assume it would work for that as well, or at least help a bit!

You could try makeup removing wipes. Just use a different part of it with every swipe if makeup you take off.

you can try using an oil based makeup remover like the clinique purple one and soaking it onto a neutrogena makeup wipe and really focussing the wipe on your eyelid area gently massaging not wiping all over your face before you take off the rest of the makeup!

Tape 100% try and find a crafting/washi tape which is less harsh. Any other form of wiping can create tiny cuts on your eyelids.

Generally, I soak a cotton pad with micellar water (I'm currently using the blue Garnier one, but my all time favorite is the Sephora Collection one), hold it to my eye for 5-10 seconds and then gently swipe the glitter away. The ColourPop glitters come off pretty easily, so don't feel the need to rub really hard. I usually get about 90% of the glitter off with the micellar water and then go in with some washi tape to pick up the remaining glitter. I echo putting the tape on the back of your hand first so the adhesive is weakened a bit and using some sort of paper tape like washi or masking, I actually gave myself a paper cut with Scotch tape before... lol I prefer this method to using some sort of face cleanser because you can make sure that the vast majority of the glitter is going in the trash and not down the drain, and I have not experienced any irritation on my eyes.

Um rapaz em tempos disse-me que glitter é pior que uma doença sexualmente transmissível. Na altura ri-me imenso 😂 Anyway, usa rolo de tirar pelinhos de animais ou fita-cola e se for na pele, a seguir passa um cleanser à base de óleo.

Há mulheres a usarem glitter na noite de propósito. A ideia é simples: homens mentem, portanto, se o teu homem chega a casa com vestígios de glitter, andou a roçar-se com outra. Também serve para descobrir o culpado caso ela desapareça...

Malta, prefiram o natural (há é lindo!) e usem e abusem.

A às mulheres que têm de o lavar da roupa dos maridos/namorads, com frequência: façam testes de despiste de ISTs e ponderem se vale a pena continuar na relação...

Olá! Tenta com fita cola.

Dizem que a única coisa que remove isso, é o tempo.

Usa um óleo de limpeza facial/corporal. Não esfregues muito agressivamente, faz movimentos circulares leves.

Depois sim, o que sobrar vai lá com fita cola. Dependendo da dimensão do desastre, óleo de limpeza como primeiro passo é o ideal para não irritares a pele e para soltar o glitter.

Eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. I put a lot of it on a cotton pad, hold it for 20-30 seconds, then lightly wipe it away. Then a double cleanse (over the eyelids too). At least that’s how I do it, and it works for me

I ordered now the take off the day cleansing balm. A lot of sites recommend this especially for removing eyes makeup including glitter!

I usually use tape to remove glitter before cleansing. I place the tape over my lid (after putting it on the back of my hand to make sure it’s not too sticky and pulling my skin) and tap a few times. This takes off most of the glitter particles so when I go in after with remover/cleanser it’s easier to get off.

Scotch tape. Keeps fallout to a minimum and doesnt damage anything.

Tape. Tape. Tape.

TAPE!!!

Use some tape to gently remove the glitter, do NOT scrub with wipes or makeup remover. The adhesive from regular tape will pull up the glitter without irritating your skin.

Scrubbing glitter off of your skin can result in microabbrassions that can cause irritation, pain, and hypersensitivity. This also runs the risk of accidentally rubbing the glitter into your eyes. Use good old tape and it'll be fast and painless. Then use a makeup removing balm to remove anything else!

Have you done your foundation already? If not just use a makeup wipe then go in with some scotch tape to pick up the remaining particles.

If you do have foundation on already it’s gonna be a lot harder. Sometimes I have luck using a spoolie to gently brush off the few glitter particles that fall off my eyes.

Can you grab some scotch tape and use the sticky part to blot the glitter off? So frustrating!

don't fuck the glitter, you'll never get it out

I see that you did fix it, but as an alternate thought, something I've done in the past is throw on a glittery highlight, add some extra glitter on top of that, and pretend that any extra glitter was on purpose.

I'd wipe it away.

There’s a lesson in there somewhere...

things like eyeliners usually have ingredients that go through FDA approval otherwise they'd have a BIG disclaimer (some eyeshadows) that they aren't meant to be used around the eyes.

Typically it means they are safe, and can be flushed out with water/eye wash if the do get into your eyes. As someone who wears contacts as well as long as you wash them thoroughly with contact disinfecting solution you shouldn't have a problem.

moisturizing with cold cream before using micellar water or using a cleansing balm + cleansing oil may help loosen the stuck glitter. If there is stuff crusted to the water line, using a little baby shampoo helps to clear out the oil glands!

Oil based eye makeup remover (Lancôme Bi-facil), q-tip and lots of patience.

I mean. Basic chemistry. Use an oil based solvent to dissolve oil based solubles. This works across the bored btw. Sap in your hair? Use oil or peanut butter to break it down. But something like alcohol would be better to break down ink or alcohol based dyes.

Oil based cleansers have emulsifyers that will allow the oils in the cleanser to create micells, particles with both a water tail and an oil tail. The oil tail sticks to the oil in the makeup and the water tail sticks to the rinse water to carry the grime away.
