"What's going to happen is it's going to move around, but I think that's OK because it gives this rock and roll effect. "I've used it on the eyes as well, on its own and also over a matching cream shadow," said Violette. It's clear you can use this stuff on hair, but I was curious: What about skin? A fellow Allure editor tried the paste on her lips yesterday and while it was no Pat McGrath Lust 004, the effect was dazzling and resulted in a lot less glitter stuck between the teeth. "You'll have a bit of glitter left behind, but it comes off easily with an oil-based makeup remover." "Take something like a spoon and gently scrape off the paste," Violette explained. This is like a glossy paste-it's superflexible but superstrong, and glitter doesn't get everywhere." It's also a cinch to remove. "And if you want to put glitter on your brows, you have to use glue, which can be irritating, and your brow hairs might poke through. "Loose glitter flies all over the place and gets on the rest of your face, which you then have to remove with tape," said Violette. In two seconds it was done it's so much less complicated than using loose glitter." In fact, there are a lot of advantages to using the paste for special effects like this. "I applied it pretty messily at the beginning, and then with a clean Q-tip I cleaned up all the edges. Then, using a brush as big as your brows, you press the pomade onto the brow starting from the inner corner and working your way to the tail. "You want to use something dry to flatten the hair, not something wet, like a gel," she explained. "It's pretty easy to do," she said of the process, which involves flattening your brow hairs by spraying your finger with hair spray and pressing your brows against the skin to make the hairs lie really flat. Lemonhead Spacepaste and Spacejam (a glitter-flecked pomade) were originally marketed to be used in the hair (the brand got its first taste of success when glitter roots became a thing online and on Instagram), but Violette, being the makeup badass that she is, used it along the eyebrows. Mesmerized (and looking for some Halloween costume inspiration), I immediately Googled "Lemonhead glitter," and shot Violette an email that literally had one line: "So Lemonhead-tell me everything." The French makeup artist broke it out for a recent photo shoot, and filmed the process of her painting it across a model's eyebrows on her iPhone. I came across the twinkly pomade in Violette's Instagram story last week. Second, it's so jam-packed with glitter particles that it re-creates the intense sparkle of a disco ball (let's get real, that shit in the '90s had, like, ten flecks of glitter per jar), and it comes in several pretty, shiny, fantastical shades. First off, it's a paste, not a gel, so it's not slimy, goopy, or sticky. The twinkly pomade is vaguely reminiscent of the glitter gels my friends and I favored in middle school.in the mid-'90s.except that Spacepaste is glitter gel on steroids. OK, so I've seen something kind of like it. No really, I've never seen anything like it. Introducing Lemonhead Spacepaste Glitter Spackle, which is quite possibly the coolest, sparkliest, most mesmerizing glittery beauty product I've come across in my six years here at Allure.
