Consider using an eyeshadow primer under glitter products to ensure it sticks to the lid and looks as vibrant as possible. Primers also elongate the wear time of eyeshadows.
Most glitter eyeshadows in a pan or liquid form can be swiped on your eyelids, temples, or cheeks without any additional products. You can also use a glitter glue to ensure that chunky glitter or flakes stays in place even after long hours.
Glitter eyeshadows have chunky sparkles and could also mean loose glitters that can be applied with glue. Shimmer eyeshadow is smooth and adds an even shine across the eyelid.
The best way to stop eyeshadow fallout is using a primer that helps the glitter stick better. You can also apply the glitter with an eyeshadow brush that helps you apply a thick layer on your eyelid with minimal fallout.
