Everything about Superstar Chunky Glitter
Superstar is a Dutch face paint brand with a long history. The Chunky Glitter in this category is loose chunky glitter sold in six-packs of six pots per set. Each six-pack contains 130 ml of glitter in total, spread across six colours grouped around a theme. The glitter is suitable for skin and hair.
Linda Gloudemans, owner of SchminkenGrime.nl, works with Superstar Chunky Glitter herself at events, in workshops, and as a trainer in the NHA distance-learning course on theatrical make-up. She is also examiner for the Dutch vocational programme Allround Make-Up & Hair Artist. That hands-on experience is how she knows when chunky glitter makes the difference and when a finer Sparkling Glitter or a glitter gel is the better choice.
What's in this category?
Superstar Chunky Glitter comes in seven six-packs. Each six-pack contains six pots of colours that complement each other around a theme:
- Chunky Glitter Set Party
- Chunky Glitter Set Sweet
- Chunky Glitter Set Crazy
- Chunky Glitter Set Glamour
- Chunky Glitter Set Laser
- Chunky Glitter Set Fluorescent
- Chunky Glitter Set Celebration
Why a six-pack rather than individual pots?
Superstar sells Chunky Glitter in six-packs only. A six-pack gives you a broad colour palette around one theme in a single purchase, which is handy when you're preparing for an event, workshop or booking and don't know in advance which colours will be needed.
Would you rather work with one specific colour and have no need for a full set? Have a look at the individual Superstar Sparkling Glitter, which is sold per colour in a puff bottle.
How to apply Chunky Glitter
Chunky glitter holds better on a wet base than on dry skin. Press the glitter into a still-damp layer of Superstar Face Paint, or apply a layer of setting gel first, such as the Superstar Glitterless Gel from the Superstar Glitter Gel category. For extra hold you can also use PXP Fix Gel or Ben Nye Glitter Glue.
Spray a Lolipop Smoothie Blender with a spray bottle to wet it, then use a slightly damp brush or your finger and dip it into the glitter pot. The glitter clings to the Lolipop, your brush or your finger. Press the glitter on gently so it makes contact with the wet or setting base underneath.
Chunky or fine glitter?
Chunky and fine glitter both give a glitter effect, but they serve different purposes.
Chunky glitter is the pick for statement work and large areas: festival looks, body paint and bold accents. The larger particles catch a lot of light and read well from a distance and up close. For finer accents and detailed work, take a look at Superstar Fine Glitter, which comes in six-packs of fine polyester glitter. For a long-wear chunky effect where the glitter is already worked into a wax base, have a look at Superstar Chunky Glitter Cream.
Removing glitter
To keep glitter particles out of the environment, remove the glitter first with a cotton pad and a skin-friendly oil. Then gently lift the last traces of glitter from the skin with painter's tape or masking tape. Dispose of the used tape and glitter residue in your general waste bin.
Storing your glitter
Close the pots properly after use so the glitter stays dry and clean. Store the six-pack in a cool, dry place and keep the pots out of direct sunlight.
