What Are Glitter Lashes?
Glitter lashes are false lashes with sparkly, shimmery detailing built into or applied to the lash band or fibers. They're made from faux mink (a cruelty-free material) and come in multiple color variations. The glitter is multidimensional, giving you a prismatic shimmer. They're reusable, which means you can wear them throughout your festival season and beyond. Victori'Ahh's Vanity carries several glitter lash styles in different finishes.
How to Apply Glitter Lashes Step by Step
Applying glitter lashes follows these steps.
Step 1: Start with Clean Skin
Begin with a clean eyelid. Remove any old makeup and wash your eyelids gently with a little water. Pat dry completely. Any oils or residue will affect adhesion.
Step 2: Apply Your Eyeshadow

Step 3: Apply Lash Adhesive
Run a thin line of lash adhesive along the lash band. Wait 10-15 seconds for the adhesive to become tacky before placement.
Step 4: Place the Lash on Your Lash Line
Using your fingers or a lash applicator, gently press the glitter lash onto your upper lash line, starting from the inner corner. Work your way to the outer corner, pressing gently to ensure it's secure. Hold for a few seconds.
Step 5: Set and Blend
Once the adhesive dries completely (usually within a minute), you can apply eyeliner along your lash line to blend your natural lashes with the false ones.
Which Glitter Lash Colors Work Best for Festivals?
Glitter lashes come in a range of colors and finishes. You can choose jewel tones like emerald or sapphire, neutral options like gold or silver, or shades like rose gold or iridescent shimmer. Your choice depends on your festival outfit and personal preference. Since Victori'Ahh's Vanity offers multiple color variations, you can select one that matches your personal style.
Tips for Wearing Glitter Lashes
Pair them with coordinating face gems or eye gems. A single face gem at the inner corner of your eye, or a cluster of gems near your temple, creates a coordinated festival look.
Skip heavy eyeliner if your lashes are already glittery. A thin line or touch of color on your upper lash line is sufficient.
Use a setting spray. A makeup setting spray can help keep your lashes in place in humid or active environments.
Bring lash adhesive and tweezers in your festival bag. Just in case you need to reposition or reapply your lashes.
Apply glitter lashes after your full makeup look. Do your base, blush, bronzer, and eyeshadow first, then add the glitter lashes as your final step.
How to Remove and Care for Your Glitter Lashes
Glitter lashes are reusable. Remove them gently to preserve them for future wear.
Use warm water and gentle pressure to loosen the adhesive. Start from the inner corner of the lash band and slowly peel away from your lid. Once removed, use a makeup remover or gentle cleanser to dissolve any remaining adhesive on the lash band. Let them air dry completely before storing them in their original case.
Avoid tugging or pulling hard, which can bend the delicate lash fibers or damage the glitter detailing. With proper care, your glitter lashes can be worn multiple times.
Glitter Lashes for Festival Looks
Glitter lashes offer a pre-made option for festival eye looks. Unlike loose shimmer powders, they stay in place and don't require complex application techniques.
Common Questions About Festival Glitter Lashes
Can I wear glitter lashes if I have sensitive eyes?
Glitter lashes are made from faux mink. The key is using a quality lash adhesive and ensuring your lids are clean before applying them. For concerns about eye sensitivity, consult a healthcare provider before use. Always remove lashes gently and clean your eyelids after wearing them. Follow the instructions provided with your specific lash adhesive product.
Do glitter lashes stay on while dancing and sweating?
Proper application is important for secure placement. Use a quality lash adhesive, let it get tacky before placement, and press firmly onto your lash line. A primer and setting spray on your makeup can also help in humid or active conditions.
How long can I wear glitter lashes in one day?
Glitter lashes can be worn for extended periods. Check them periodically and reapply adhesive if needed. Remove them before bed to let your lids rest.
Can I swim in glitter lashes?
Water exposure can affect lash adhesive. If you're swimming at a festival, consider removing your lashes beforehand and reapplying them after you dry off. Follow the instructions provided with your specific lash adhesive product regarding water exposure.
