It's one night in the year when you're allowed to look like the fairy on top of the Christmas tree, glitter-wise.  But to keep it stay put, smoosh a tiny bit of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream in the palm of your hand, and add a tiny amount of glitter.  Blend, and carefully apply to the eyelid with a stiff brush or your fingers.  Quite the best way to avoid 'glitter litter' over the rest of the face.
