There were many answers and we have selected the best ones that will help you shine from the moment you leave home until you return. Let's shine, my friend?
Body moisturizer or moisturizing ointment are the most used products
Carnival favorites are body moisturizers and moisturizing ointments! Both cosmetics are easy to find and ideal for applying to the skin. Moisturizing ointment is a great option to stick glitter on your face and still leave your skin hydrated. The body moisturizer can be applied all over the body. “I put on a little bit of nothing moisturizer and then I throw on the glitter. It holds a lot!”, said journalism student Rayara Lassance.
White glue or glue sticks are also popular at Carnival.
Although it is not so conventional to apply glue on the body, many girls guarantee that it works when it comes to making the glitter last until the end of the block. Just take the glue and apply it to the area you want and apply the glitter on top. Don't save, see? When you get home, don't forget to completely remove the glue from your skin and moisturize the area well. “I prefer to use stick glue”, said publicist Gabriella Nadai.
There will be gel in the hair and body too
In addition to helping to set the hairstyle and the glitter, if you want to apply it to your hair, the gel is a great tip to make the glitter stick to your skin. Buy a regular jar of gel, it doesn't have to be anything special, and apply it to your skin before you throw on the glitter. The social media Ellen Rodrigues revealed that she is a fan of the gel and another product: “I like to fix it with hair gel and also with eyelash glue”. Ready!
Lip moisturizer and liquid or solid Vaseline are also a hit.
Two other favorite cosmetics in the responses were vaseline and lip balm. At the time of application, there is no mystery, you just apply them using your fingers in the area and that's it. They are also not harmful to the skin. “I love using lip balm or vaseline and there are specific products to paste glitter”, explained university student Mariah Freitas.
