I have some exciting news, everyone!
Notoriously Morbid released their version of a glitter adhesive this morning. It's called "Shadow Bind" and is supposed to make glittery/sparkly eyeshadows adhere to your lids better, instead of having a bunch of fallout on your face. Shadow Bind is not a primer, so you will need to prime your lids with regular primer beforehand. I was sent a tester sample a few months ago and I have been using it this whole time. The site advises you to primer your lids, apply a bit of Shadow Bind to your lids and wait 15-20 seconds to dry. However, I find that I don't really have to wait that long, I end up dabbing it on my lids, smoothing it over and then applying my shadows immediately. It also has a watery texture, as opposed to fan favorite's Pixie Epoxy by Fyrinnae. Pixie Epoxy (PE) is said to have a very steep learning curve as you have to wait for the appropriate amount of time to try and it tends to be hard to blend afterward.
As soon as I received this product, I got straight to work with tests and comparisons. I've put it through several different tests, so there will be a lot of pictures! For all the swatches I'll be showing, I applied a layer of ELF Essential Primer (non-sticky) and then applied NM's Shadow Bind on the top half - everything is shot under a daylight bulb.
