Unleash Your Imagination: Ten Creative Ways to Use Glitter Nymph's Cosmetic-Grade Biodegradable Glitter!
When it comes to adding that extra sparkle to your life, glitter has always been the go-to choice. But as we become more conscious of our environmental and long-term health impacts, the shift towards cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter (with the safety data sheets to prove it) is not just trendy; it’s essential. Biodegradable glitter offers the same dazzling effects we love about glitter but without harming the planet. Here we’ll explore how you can use Glitter Nymph’s eco-friendly shimmer from head to toe, whether you’re crafting costumes, enhancing your makeup, or simply adding a bit of magic to your day.
1. Glittering Crowns, Costumes, and Accessories:
Costuming is all about bringing fantasy to life, and what better way to do that than with a touch of biodegradable glitter? Whether you're crafting a costume piece or embodying a mythical character, biodegradable glitter can take your wearable art to the next level.
Headpieces, crowns and costumes: Start by applying a thin layer of craft glue or an adhesive suitable for skin to your headpiece, then sprinkle on biodegradable glitter in your desired color and texture. For a more ethereal look, blend multiple shades of glitter to create a shimmering ombre effect. Add in some trinkets for an extra pop of dimension.
Elf and Fae Ears: To add a magical touch to your elf ears, use a small brush to apply adhesive for your design. Then, simply sprinkle on your biodegradable glitter. This simple addition can transform a basic costume into an eye-catching masterpiece. Tip: keep a piece of paper or cardboard under your crafts to recycle your extra sparkles for future projects.
2. Nail Polish that Sparkles Sustainably:
Your nails are a perfect canvas for showing off biodegradable glitter, and the best part is that it’s easy to create a custom, eco-friendly glitter polish right at home. Start with a clear nail polish as your base. Then, sprinkle on your biodegradable shimmer. You can experiment with different colors and textures. Seal it with a top coat or two to lock in the glitter and ensure it lasts.
For a more intricate design, try using the glitter to accentuate a nail art design. Whether it’s a simple stripe down the center of your nails or a full-blown glitter accent nail, biodegradable glitter adds a chic, eco-friendly twist to your manicure.
3. Eyeshadow and Lips: Eco-Friendly Glamour
Glitter Nymph’s biodegradable glitter isn’t just for crafts; it’s also safe for use in your makeup routine. From eyeshadow to lips, it can be the highlight (literally) of your look.
Glitter Eyeshadow: For a show-stopping eye look, apply a neutral base color first. Then, use eyelash adhesive where you want your shimmer to stick and gently pat biodegradable glitter onto your eyelids using your finger or a flat brush. If you want to go bold, choose a contrasting color to your base shade. For a subtler effect, opt for a monochromatic look by matching your glitter to your eyeshadow.
Lips That Pop: Glitter lips are a fun way to make a statement. Start with a long lasting lipstick in your desired shade. Once applied, gently press a fine biodegradable glitter onto your lips using a fingertip or a small brush. This creates a striking, textural look that’s perfect for parties and festivals. This method works best with a fine biodegradable glitter blend. Luckily, all Glitter Nymph's blends come in both a fine and chunky option.
4. Face Paint and Body Art Safe for you and the Earth:
Transform your skin into a canvas for creativity with biodegradable glitter face paint and body art. Whether you’re preparing for a festival, costume party, or just feeling adventurous, glitter can elevate your look.
Face Paint: To create glittery designs, use a skin-safe paint, adhesive, or aloe vera gel. Apply your paint or adhesive then tap on your desired biodegradable glitter blend. Whether you’re crafting a delicate floral pattern or going full-on glam with stars and swirls, glitter face paint adds an extra layer of fun. Pro tip: seal your designs with make-up setting spray (Shout out to DRAG QUEENS for this tip)!
DIY Temporary Tattoos: For a quick and easy glitter tattoo, apply a stencil to your skin, brush on some adhesive, and sprinkle biodegradable glitter over the top. Remove the stencil to reveal a dazzling design that can last all day.
Why Choose Biodegradable Glitter?
Traditional glitter is made from microplastics that pollute our oceans and harm wildlife. Biodegradable glitter, however, is made from plants that break down naturally in the environment. By choosing biodegradable options, you’re not only getting the same fabulous sparkle, but you’re also making a positive impact on the planet.
Sparkle Sustainably
From crafting elaborate costumes to enhancing your daily makeup routine, biodegradable glitter proves that you don’t have to compromise on sparkle to be environmentally conscious. The next time you reach for that extra bit of shine, remember that you can do it sustainably—from head to toe.
