Effective Tips To Remove Glitter Makeup From Face And Hair Without Causing Damage

Are you still finding glitter from your New Year’s Eve party makeup sticking all over your face and hair? The sad truth about glitter makeup is that, after having enjoyed your look wearing it, it gets frustratingly difficult to remove those stubborn chunky flecks from yourself.

Glitter makeup has nothing subtle about it. It needs to be applied generously in a mixture of different textures and shades. But by the end of the day, it inevitably ends up sticking everywhere. Removing glitter makeup can be a nightmare, regardless of how hard you try, your pillow, clothes, and hair will be splattered with glitter flecks till the following morning, and you might find sparkly reminders everywhere for the next seven days. Follow the tips below to banish glitter without causing damage to your hair and face.

Use hairspray to dampen glitter roots.

If your hair roots are full of glitter and you cannot take the gleam off, instead of scraping it out of your scalp, little by little (and along the way, losing some strands), spray some hairspray on a kitchen roll towel and use it to blot all the pesky sparkle. It will easily lift the glitter specks without damaging your hair – which, let's be honest, has been through enough already.

Soak your hair with oil

Oil can rescue your hair. Use any basic oil - like coconut or olive oil – on your hair and let it sit on your bedazzled strands for at least 10 minutes. After waiting for a while, lather up your glitter-smeared tresses with shampoo, and you can watch the sparkle slooshing down the drain.

Use tape to remove glitter off your face .

In some cases, you don't need to get rid of every last glitter speck from your face immediately after the party; you need to remove the few straggling chunky sparkles from under your eyes and cheeks, to get done. If this is what you are facing, you don't have to smear your face with makeup removers and facial cleansers, just use a roll of tape to get the job done. Press the tape's sticky side against your skin and easily remove all the glitter flecks. When you peel off the tape, the glitter will stick to it, and the removal process does not get simpler than that.

Massage your face with oil

When you are trying to remove glitter, one cleansing method will probably not be enough. Use a cleansing oil and give yourself a gentle facial massage. The oil will help remove all the glitter. Rinse off your face after the massage, allowing the oil to take away all the lingering glitter with it.

If you love glitter makeup but hate the removal process, use chunky glitter flecks that are easier to take off.
