The Glue That Binds Us

Alright so this is probably a question more for models or makeup artists...

What glue/adhesives are used in makeup where you need to stick things to skin? Such as little gems or other plastic-based decorations, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Eyelure eyelash glue never fails me! Swipe it in the gem, wait a few minutes for it to go tacky and then apply

Thanks, I'll try that! Doesn't sound like it'd be too hard to find in a shop :-)

Per chance, would would you use to take the eyelash glue back off again?

Cosographer micellar water or whatever you usually use to take off your makeup will work fine 😄

Absolutely yes to the eyelash glue, spirit gum is also another term you can search for (remove with baby oil)

Or.....If you're only shooting stills and not needing High Performance tack from glues and spirit gum, then you can also use Vaseline. Dab a cotton bud in a pot, apply to area and stick the glitter or gem on top.

It's not long lasting and wouldn't be suitable in a long session or on stage, but good for a stills set.
