You can buy a product from mac pro called EZR which really helps products stick on! If not that I tend to spray fix + from a distance and then dab the glitter on with a 224 mac brush. I also use an avon mascara clear glitter , dab it onto the lid and then push the glitters on! ALSO cream colour base, paint pots and fluidline work great for a base if you JUST want one colour and a glitter. THey're obviously a cream that drys and sets so they hold the glitter beautifully
