My difficulty lies when trying to blend them, especially when belnding two or more mattes together for a seamless look. I am able to get them to lay down by pressing the shadows onto my eye that's been primed, but when I blend, they loose their "oomph". I usually apply them, then spray w/ Fix+ and this helps them to set. But they dont blend well....

Can any of you experts help a sista out?

TIA (Sorry for the book)

I am by no mean an expert, but I ALWAYS use a base. I find Mac Paint pots to be wonderful. I LOVE Mac Girl Friendly and Painterly Paint Pot. I use Girl Friendly for a lot of purple and pink matte shadows. I usually 'pack' the color on first, then blend.
