Need advice on how to stick rhinestones to skin

[JoJoPearce]

Hi Geeks,

I've got my 30th fancy dress party on Saturday which is a pop stars theme. I'm going as Christina Aguleria (sp) in Lady Marmalade.

I've got my whole outfit sorted but need to know how to stick some rhinestones to my face. I have tried eyelash glue but they come off after a few minutes. Any Ideas....

not sure if im right on this one and im sure someone will tell me so but what about gelbond as i believe this is a medical grade adhesive so safe for the skin temporarily

I got some body gems from Claires once that had a tube of body enhancement glue in it. It seamed to be the same as PVA glue so try that!

Cheers,

Might have to have a go a this. I also have fabric glue which is a bit like pva glue so that may well do the trick.

If you got to a fancy dress shop they should have something called "spirit gum" this is what is used to apply false moutaches etc in the theatre so it is ok to put on skin. HTH

I know this is a no-no...

But once, I used pharmacy nail tip glue. Pink gel kind.
It did the trick.
Probably not the best thing for your skin, but those stones stayed STUCK and just peeled off later with a bit of effort but no pain. A bit of scrubbing with a facecloth and soap and the glue came off my skin.

What do they use for bikini gems? Surely that would work? x x x

spirit gum (often known as) eyelash glue will do the trick !!

It will work, even over the top of heavy foundation.

HAIR GLUE. The kind used for extensions. It is generally applied directly to the scalp so I'm sure it would be fine for the face.
