👁️⚠️ Allergen-Safe Eye Makeup Why Glitter Is the Most Dangerous Thing in Your Makeup Bag
Glitter Looks Cute… Until It Attacks Your Eye
Glitter is fun.
Sparkly.
Magical.
Instagram gold.
And also:
a tiny, sharp, wandering danger molecule that loves harming eyes.
Let’s talk.
✨🧪 1. Glitter Particles Are Sharp Microplastics
They have edges.
They scratch.
They migrate.
Your eye does NOT want razor-sharp confetti in it.
👁️💥 2. Glitter Moves — Even When You Think It Doesn’t
Glitter travels via:
blinking
tears
rubbing
wind
It can land on:
your cornea
your tear ducts
your waterline
Cue irritation, redness, injuries.
🌸⚠️ 3. Glitter Holds Onto Allergens
Nut oils
fragrance
preservatives
Glitter traps them —
then releases them directly into your eyes.
✨🚫 4. Pressed Glitter Is Worse Than Loose Glitter
Pressed glitter uses binders (adhesives) that often contain:
-
nut oils
-
fragrance
-
botanical extracts
-
plasticizers
Yikes.
⭐ Final Thought: Glitter Is Fun — But Not Eye-Safe
Use it carefully, or not at all.
🌿 The EpiLynx Promise:
Safe pigments, no glitter, no allergens — always eye-friendly.
