I got Feline today and tested it out around the house. It goes on the waterline so nicely, but it really doesn't have much staying power. And yes, it does smudge a bit under the eye. Sad. =/

i have created some awesome looks with feline, I have used it to cut my crease and then smudge out into a smokey eye and fill my lid with the brightest colour I can find. I set the feline with Inglots matte black. I have been pretty happy with it... in saying that, I might use that one tomorrow!

I agree the staying power is not good at all :( but it's so nice on the waterline I just set with some black shadow

Ok... I used my Angel Flame quad for the 2nd time today & just can't seem to get a good color payoff with the pink shadow! I used UDPP and it's just such a tough color! I couldn't even get hardly any on the brush without really scraping with a 213 brush. Has anyone found a way to make this shade work a little better? I get the prettiest look with this quad but I'm working way too hard to achieve it! Any advice?

The only thing I can say is to scrape off a little bit and see how that works. I had the same issue with miss piggy pink, now it works perfectly.

You mean it could have come with a funky layer on top of it?! Because I didn't get anything on it! That's concerning! I hate to have to scrape it up! Oh no! Thanks for the tip doll... Even though it's a depressing thought!

it happens with some shadows - i have found that even though i use a clean brush that sometimes the shadow can get a weird layer on top that stops it giving good colour payoff - so i lightly scrape the top off and the shadow is as good as new :) i think oils affect it or something

I looked at angel flame today (got a ride to indianapolis!) and they are all dupable... decided not to get it :(

Maybe in terms of colors but not in texture. It is the muted colors that make this quad so interesting. And it's a look that we will see throughout next season. Think Evil Eye or Interior Life quad.

Is it just feather pink that is not working or is it all of the pans? If it is the former, a neutral base like Painterly p/p will help to bring out the color.

Just FP. The other shades are fine. Gravel is a little dry but that's just the formula. FP just doesn't even want to pick up on my brush. I used Painterly the first time. UDPP the second time. UDPP doesn't seem to dry down on my lid quite as much as Painterly. So I thought the little bit of sheerness in the base would improve it, but no luck. Hmmmmmm. Thanks for trying to help doll.
