Most glitters look striking in the pot but fall flat, flake off or feel gritty on the skin. NYX Professional Makeup Metallic Glitter is formulated to deliver high-reflective sparkle that actually adheres, wears comfortably and stays where you place it, from first swipe to last call.

At the heart of the formula, synthetic fluorphlogopite and calcium titanium borosilicate provide ultra-reflective, plate-like particles that catch and reflect light for a multidimensional effect. Caprylic/capric triglyceride helps the particles sit more smoothly on the skin, while tin oxide and carefully selected pigments contribute to the metallic sheen and depth of colour.

The loose, fine particles feel surprisingly smooth and lightweight, allowing you to build intensity without a thick, crusty finish. When used over a suitable glitter primer or mixing medium, the sparkle locks in, resisting creasing, heavy fallout and dulling through hours of wear under studio lights or on the dancefloor.

For precise placement and long wear, pair the glitter with a compatible glitter primer or mixing medium and press it on rather than sweeping. The buildable nature of the particles lets you adjust from a wash of shimmer to full-impact metallic sparkle with minimal effort.

Finely milled particles deliver high-reflective metallic sparkle without obvious chunkiness.Loose glitter format allows controlled layering and custom intensity on eyes, face or body.Designed to grip effectively to primers and creams, helping reduce fallout throughout wear.Smooth-feel particle selection minimises the scratchy sensation typical of traditional glitters.

For best performance, pair with NYX Professional Makeup glitter primer or mixing mediums to maximise adhesion and longevity, then finish with setting spray to help lock everything in. It also complements liners, mascaras and eye bases in the wider NYX Professional Makeup range for cohesive looks.

Pro Tips

• Hold a tissue or under-eye patches beneath the eye during application to catch any stray particles.
• Use a slightly damp flat brush with mixing medium for sharper, more graphic glitter placement.
• Keep glitter away from the immediate waterline and inner eye area, focusing on lids and above for comfort.
• Remove by pressing a cleansing oil or balm on the area first, then gently wiping away to avoid dragging particles across the skin.
