Hi everyone,

It really depends on how dramatic you want your eyes to be. Wet will make your eyeshadow more vivid than dry.

I use Young Punk with a black base underneath and wet to make it really stand out.

i do preferr vivid and making a statement.

I have Midnight Madness and LOVE IT! I just use a primer and the shadow as is, dry. The shadow is so soft and easy to apply. Plus I love the shimmer. I have not tried it wet - and probably won't since I like the way it looks so much now

what do you do with the cresent hunny?
its kinda weird haha i wasnt sure what could be done with this.

I use them wet to line my eyes and dry for my lid/browbone with NYX's base. Applying them wet makes them pop + shimmer more, thats why their so nice as a liner.

I use them the same as my regular MAC shadows.

Try using it wet, it will make the color vibrant and it lasts longer!

Well, I used it this morning. I put the purple on my lower lid then a highlight color on top (I used Shroom eyeshadow). Then I went back and patted the gold shimmer in the crescent on top of my purple - very lightly.

I use them wet with Fix+

Thanks for the tips everyone

. i dont happen to own fix plus

if you don't own fix+ then don't worry too much! you can use plain old water! just add a drop to your brush and it works the same way as fix+

i always use water or fix+ to 'foil' mineral shadows on my lid

makes the colour pop like nothing else!

also for the glitter part of your shadow you could use that along the lash line as like a glitter liner

Thankyou.

I've only got MES from the Style Black collection and I used them over the black greasepaint stick - if you don't have that I'm sure they'd work well over a dark base like Blackground or even Blacktrack fluidline.

As the other girls said, they also work better wet.

girl if you don't use fix plus its a pain in the ass with the fall out. They Mineralized e/s have crazy fall out but are gorgeous.

Haha hun, i have heard this. so i thought hmm i may aswell give them a try before saying i dont like them. so i think ill have to invest in some fix plus, i do have paint pots and grease paint sticks so that helps ALOT

. thanks for all your great tips girlies, ill let you know if i survive the mineralized eye shadows hahah.
