FAQ
Q: HOW CAN I CONTACT SLAYFIRE?
A: You can reach us at contact@slayfirecosmetics.com. We typically respond within 1-2 business days. If you are reaching out about an order, please include your order number.
Q: ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
A: Yes! All products are formulated to be safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are also sensory-issue friendly. All products include an ingredient list in the description.
Our formulas are safe to use on your face, eyes, lips, hair and body.
Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or are under treatment/medication for any skin or hair conditions, please consult with your healthcare professional before using any of our products. To check for skin sensitivity, do a small patch test on your inner elbow. Do not apply on broken skin. Use caution when using our products around your eyes and avoid direct eye contact.
Q: HOW ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SENSORY FRIENDLY?
A: Our glitter gels are considered sensory-friendly due to several key features. The texture is not overly wet or jelly-like, providing a smooth application experience. Once applied, the gel dries to a budge-proof finish without any tackiness. While applying with fingertips, the product might initially feel slightly cold but quickly adjusts to the body temperature, enhancing comfort.
The glitter used is cosmetic grade and consists of a super thin, flexible, and soft-edged film. This ensures that the glitter won't cause itchiness or scratch the skin, making it suitable for users with sensory sensitivities. It's important to note that our super chunky glitter mixes and jumbo-sized glitter or shapes may not be suitable for users more sensitive to textures, and they might prefer our finer options.
For those who want a sensory-friendly glitter alternative, our eyeshadow gels are also designed to feel lightweight and imperceptible to most users during both application and wear. While our glitter gels are generally well-tolerated, it's crucial to understand that everyone's sensory preferences and sensitivities are unique. This information serves as a guide to help users determine if the product is suitable for their individual sensory needs.
Q: IS YOUR GLITTER COSMETIC GRADE AND/OR BIODEGRADABLE?
A: We offer both! Slayfire uses high quality cosmetic grade glitters that are eye, lip and skin safe. Our cosmetic grade glitters are soft to the touch with soft edges so they won't scratch your skin or eyes. They are completely lip safe too! Say goodbye to glitters that feel grainy or itchy and say hello to comfortable sparkles!
When wearing glitter around your eyes, we recommend our finer glitters. You should avoid wearing shaped glitters or jumbo sized glitters on your eyes.
We also offer a variety of cosmetic grade biodegradable glitters. Visit our eco-friendly glitter collection to view all of our biodegradable glitters. To view materials and other data provided by our supplier: SDS (also provided on every biodegradable product page). We hope to extend our biodegradable glitter collection as new technology and colors are developed ♡
Contrary to what we’re told about glitter, cosmetic grade glitter shouldn’t be anything to fear using. We still want you to sparkle in confidence, so we’ve partnered with a supplier who makes both biodegradable and regular cosmetic grade glitters. Recent studies show that wastewater treatment facilities are not a significant source for microplastic being released into public waterways. The leftover pieces that escape waste management are really really tiny and will still degrade under environmental conditions of heat, water, oxygen, pH and microorganisms (just not as fast as biodegradable plant-based glitter, but also not in 100’s of years like we’re led to believe).

No glue needed! Use your fingertips to tap the product on wherever you'd like (face, eyes, hair, and body). It’s really as easy as tap and go! Fingertips work best, but a silicone brush could also do the job! We believe your finger is the best tool for a smooth and even application, and a brush would be recommended for creating smaller and more precise details. Be sure to tap our glitters down completely so the product lays flat. If you're working on a client, finger gloves or hand gloves are recommended for the best results. If you're going for glitter liner or fun shapes, shape the glitter while it's still wet with a flat synthetic or silicon brush. Gently shape or clean up the desired areas with a spoolie or clean mascara brush.
Our budge-proof formula formula dries down completely and stays put all day!
Want a more intense sparkle? Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Be sure to clean your finger or brush between layers to avoid product build-up. Applying the product in thin layers helps prevent the product from pulling any makeup off. You can create a subtle and more dispersed look, or go for full coverage.
Need extra strength? Be sure to use an eyeshadow primer or our Mixing Potion if you’re wearing any makeup under your glitter. Though our glitter gels don’t need a glue, adding some adhesive underneath to boost it’s wear time could be helpful for those wild long days. This is also very helpful for oily skin types to prevent the product from creasing!
If you plan on wearing a glitter with shapes, a primer will be helpful as the shapes don't have as strong of a hold. Do not place shapes directly over your eye and please be aware that placing super chunky or shaped glitter in creases or areas where there's more movement could cause some jumbo or shaped glitters to fall off.

To easily remove glitter, we highly recommend using micellar water and a cotton pad. This gentle combination effectively removes both makeup and glitter. It's important to note that for non-biodegradable cosmetic glitter, we should avoid washing it into our waterways. Instead, you can use micellar water on a cotton pad, a spoolie, a gentle tape, or a lint roller to remove it.
When it comes to biodegradable glitter, you can wash it off without any worries! Simply rinse off the remaining glitter with water (just water and your hands, please do not use any kind of cloth). If there are any loose specks left, you can use any cleanser, a spoolie, tape, or a lint roller to remove them.
It's crucial to avoid using makeup wipes as they not only create more waste but also spread the glitter around, making the cleanup more difficult.

Q: STORAGE (AND WHAT TO DO IF THEY DRY OUT)
A: To ensure the longevity of your glitter gels, please store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remember to tightly close the cap when the product is not in use. On average, the shelf life of our glitter gels are 24 months. However, please note that the gel may dry out sooner (around 12 months), especially if left unused for a prolonged period, left opened, or exposed to heat or sunlight for too long.
In case your gel dries out, you can revive it by adding a very small amount of our Reviving Potion. Alternatively, aloe vera gel can be used as a temporary solution. However, please be aware that aloe gel may also contribute to drying out the product, so it is only recommended for temporary use. Our specially formulated Magic Potion works wonders in restoring your glitter gels to their original magic and consistency.
Q: HOW TO USE OUR MIXING POTION
A: Our Magic Potion can do it all!
Rehydrator: If your gel-based product has dried out, you can bring it back to life by adding a few drops of our Reviving Potion. To avoid direct mixing in the jar, you can also mix the desired amount on a palette or the back of your hand. This potion works wonders in reviving your product without compromising its budge-proof formula.
Mixing medium: Our Reviving Potion can also be used as a versatile mixing medium. It allows you to adjust the jelliness and spreadability of glitter gels or even create a gel consistency from loose glitter or pigments. It's important to work with small amounts, as this helps the product dry down more quickly. Remember, a little goes a long way!
Primer: For a budge-proof and long-wearing base under any eye makeup, our Reviving Potion doubles as an excellent clear-based primer. Simply tap a small amount over the desired area and allow the primer to dry before applying your makeup on top.
