Glitter Makeup for Face, Body & Hair

Yes — as long as it’s cosmetic grade. All Elektra Cosmetics glitter is made with cosmetic-grade materials specifically formulated to be safe for face and body use. Our glitters are vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens and harmful chemicals. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCraft glitter, art glitter, and non-cosmetic glitters are NOT safe for skin — the particle size and materials can cause irritation or injury. Always verify a product is cosmetic grade before applying it to skin.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eBolt Balm (chunky glitter gel) and Microfine Glitters are safe for face, body, and hair — but are not eyelid safe due to particle size. Power Pigments may be used as eyeshadow but should not be applied to the waterline. Do not use any glitter makeup on children or pets.
