How much glitter in ounces do you need to cover up
Hi All, I plan to do a shoot covered up in glitter. Can anyone tell me how much i need? I havent got a clue. Thanks Lin Sep 15 10 02:52 pm Link Hmmm- I do a lot of full body glitter tattoos and that doesn't use as much as you would think, to cover most of a torso it only takes a hand sized bag. Or the cosmetic glitters that come in the coke-bottle sized puffers, that easily does most of a body. BUT I only need a thin layer of glitter, it sticks to the pro adhesive so a little goes a long way for me. Can you use cosmetic glitter near the face etc and buy cheaper craft glitters for the rest? As if you want piles of glitter it may take a fair few bags.... Cat Sep 17 10 02:13 pm Link this guy used cooking oil and gold powder it took about 3 oz of powder and a small amount of oil. I would use olive oil if I were to do another shoot like this. Sep 17 10 02:20 pm Link Cats Creations wrote: Not really a good idea when dealing with skin. Glitter doesn't always stay put, and some craft glitter can be EXTREMELY harmful if it gets in the eyes or other sensitive areas.
