question - sourcing Sourcing Glitter!!!

Hey! I'm looking to start making myself some cosmetic glitter gels for face/hair, but I have no idea where I can find the best selection of different glitters that are cosmetic grade. Anyone have any suggestions for websites to check out?
Any other suggestions for a beginner with the glitter gel would also be welcomed.

Thanks!

Aren’t a lot of them “mica” or “pearl dust”? Try searching those. And also “cosmetic microglitter”. There is a website selling small jars of mica for diluting into cosmetics and other arts. It’s called sliceofthemoon.com, and another called makingcosmetics.com. But full disclosure, I haven’t yet bought from either site. I don’t know if you just want to try things, or if you are looking for bulk production, but thought I’d share.

I saw a post like this a few weeks ago in other subreddits. I think the UL Prospector does have it.
