    Default Where to buy glitter and jewels?

    I want bright loose glitter for occasional elaborate makeup, and I want those little flat jewels you can glue onto your face. I can't find them at Sally Beauty or Sephora. Anyone know where to get them in L.A.? I know all the movie makeup artists get their stuff from Naimie's or Frends in the Valley, but I like to avoid the Valley whenever possible and I don't know if they'd have them anyway. If anyone here knows of a store in Hollywood where I can buy this stuff, I'd love to know about it!

    the brand Tony & Tina (it's at Sephora and used to be at Nordstrom's) carries a variety of loose glitter in different colors...i've had purple, gold, and a clearish white color. they aren't too chunky of pieces and they are really pretty!

    If nothing else, try MAC loose pigments. I have a copper color that looks so good. And if you use lotion on the area before you add the pigments, they will stay on forever.

    Believe it or not the cheap makeup brand called Wet & Wild has glitter pots of the fine grain glitter you are looking for as well.

    For gemstones, why not try the nail aisle at your local drugstore? You can just attach them with eyelash glue.

    I bought Pixie Dust at Sally's. Its in little viels. And I have some glitter that is MAC. I put a line of black on and then dag the glittle over it and BAM it is so hot! I also have some body glitter that sprays from the custome store and I put it on my eyes and it is awesome!! I wear it all the time. It looks great over my eyeliner or over all my wild colors of eye shadow

    Artbeads.com - loose swarovski crystals

    Tony & Tina went out of business, but you can now find it pretty cheap on ebay.

    glitter, specifically:

    you can buy flat back rhinestones at a craft store. apply them with spirit gum or prosthetic adhesive. make sure you remember to get the remover, though!

    yup, a craft store would have them, and a good bead shop would have the flat jewels (swarovski) for jewelry and craft projects. Also, wet 'n' wild brand has some loose glitter dust that I like, but you have to find something to make it cling to your skin.

    Use cheap hair gel to make the glitter stay on. Just stick a q tip down into some hair gel... like, DEP (don't even act like you don't know DEP gel either!!!!!) And rub it onto the back of your hand, then roll the q tip into the LID of the glitter container (there's usually ennough in there) and apply it where ever. The gel makes it stay on FOREVER.

    I usually put it across my brow bone RIGHT under my eyebrow. it looks pretty.
