Eeek...my shadestick keeps clumping!

[s0o_r0qish]

Hey ladies, well a while ago i bought MAC's shadestick in corn, and let me tell you, it has been givin me the worst clumpin/cakin problem in the world. I usually put it on over top UDPP, and as soon as i start smothing it out over my lids it starts caking....i even tied blending it with a brush and finger...still no luck. any suggestions?

Are your lids dry? Do you warm up the Shadestick between your hands before applying?

no i never tried warming it up, how do u do that?

Just get the shadestick, put it between your hands and roll it in between your palms. The warmth of your hands makes it just glide on. In the winter, a lot of our creamy makeup products become harder to work with

I would stick with ONE base. Either the UDPP or the Shadestick. If you use both, there's a tendency to have too thick of a base. Shadesticks work best on bare skin. You can also warm up the Shadestick by just rubbing it on the back of your hand before putting it on the eye area, and I know some people blast hot air on it for a few seconds with a hair dryer.
