Flatback
Crystals
Your
eyes, ears, cheekbones and nails are all places on the body that could use a
crystal, or two. I love to bring attention
to my eyes by affixing a few color coordinated Swarovski crystals at the end of
my lash line. Flatback Crystals come in a huge range of sizes and variation of
color. With the smallest dab of DUO eyelash glue, they can be applied directly
to the skin and will stay for hours. When using the extremely tiny crystals you
may need to use tweezers to apply them because they are nearly impossible to
grip. These jewels add a small accent at
the end of your eye, or wherever you decide to place them, which really glams
you up. Aside from looking pretty, it’s
a great way to have fun! You can find flatback crystals at any craft or fabric
store.
It’s
not just for home made cards anymore, it for our face too! There is a massive variety of glitter,
especially created for use in makeup, saturating the market. Some of my favorites are LASplash and NYX,
which are both available for purchase online and at Ulta. When I find myself in the market for a
specific color glitter, I know I am treading on dangerous ground. It is extremely difficult to neglect any
color I see on the shelf and I find myself wanting them all! Once you have chosen your colors, it is
easy to apply. There are many adhesives
that can be used for loose glitter application like LASplash Splashproof sealer
and DUO eyelash glue. After applying a thin coat of either product, just
lightly pat the sparkles on using a small concealer brush, a Q-Tip or your
finger. Be careful when applying, you
don’t want sparkles inside your eye!
