I talked about this a bunch, as a matter of fact. It stays really well and doesn't flake off at all, BUT ONLY if you sweep it on in one swipe and don't go back over it to blend AT ALL. Don't even use a soft brush either, because that'll sort of blend it automatically while you apply. If you go in one straight line and then let it set, it will stay on like iron and not even have fall out. So far, I only use it in a line along the lower lid and/or in the inner eyes. I didn't like what happened when I tried to use it all over the lid - it would definitely flake that way. The Electric Cool shadows from ANR are much better on the lid for that same sort of effect. Copperthorne is very fussy, but when everything goes right, it's super unique!! Thank you so much, Love! I actually ordered it just in case I liked it! I figured that I could return it if it didn't work. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. That is so awesome that you found a way for it to work! I would have tried to go back over it a million times! Thank you so much for the awesome tip! I'll have to let you know how it works out tomorrow! I'm thinking about picking up the EC eye shadows from ANR as we'll. I've heard great things!
