Get some Eyeliner Mixing Medium from MAC Pro, but be very careful how you use the glitters. MAC glitters are not technically eye safe and can cause a lot of damage if they actually get into your eyes.

I second this.

I often apply a cream color base to highlight my cheeks such a Pearl, Luna or Hush,.. and then pat a little glitter over it,.. looks really nice,.. a more "BAM" version of the glittercreme they sell. Also their glitter stays on really well if you put on EZR where you want the glitter to stay and then pat the glitter on top of that. I also use a thick silicone base lipstick base and then pat glitter over it thickly to get really sparkly lips,. I dont do this often,. to showgirly for everyday wear,.. also I add the reflects glitter to my lip and lustreglasses if I feel they need a bit of a kick. In my hair and then hairspray it in. Sometimes I also carefully run the hairspray in front of my face too (with my arm stretched all the way back and eyes closed) this helps keep those dusty glitters in the right place a lot longer,...Hopefully this will give you a place to start? I also heard but have not tried the sealant I think Kryolan or someone sells it? If you apply the glitter and then spray the sealant on it it should stay??

i dab my 217 brush into the jar, then press it against the jar's lid a couple of times to get excess off, and then dab it on my eyelids or wherever i want it and it seems to stay and not get messy. although i only use the reflects glitters, the others maybe be a different consistancy.

I would try the liner mixing medium as suggested above. What I do when I want to use loose glitters for a liner (since I don't have the mixing medium) is I take my MAC glitterliner and dip the brush in the loose glitter and that way I can use the lovely thin brush and the gloop from the glitter liner Mind you my glitterliner is Mercuric so it's a pretty bland colour that I can mix with anything else. Thats my two cents.

eyeliner mixing medium or water based mixing medium for the crystalized glitters, I swear water based works 20x better w/ the crystalized glitters than the eyeliner mixing medium does.

I've started mixing my glitters on the back of my hand or a credit card, and it works great. I love them.
