I used Coco Beach the other day and it looked brilliant as a liner!

I bought one of those paint mixing palettes from Ben Franklin that has six indentations. I put one teensy drop of MM in an indentation and mix pigment with it until it turns pasty.
I don't use the same brush as my fluidlines. I use a flat eyeshadow brush for my MM stuff (since I make it dirty with the pigment anyway) and the fluidlines are done with a tiny slanted brush. Both are from sephora.

an MA at the Vegas pro store says that if you want your foundation to litterally look airbrushed on, you put your MM on just like you woukd with foundation, then you swipe your foundation on your forhead, chin and both sides of your face. then, you take a big dense fluffy brush (or the 187) and you buff it in. her makeup looked fabulous.

No, Face & Body foundation is something else than the Face & Body Mixing Medium. The foundation is a foundation (LOL), but can go on the skin sheerly.

Caffn8me, do you know of the Face & Body MM can be used safely on eyes?
Thank you!

Chelsea has some info on what this MM is supposed to do in this thread.
i_bleed_life - I don't think that P+P skin is better - it's a primer which has a different function. I could be wrong though. MM sounds like some sort of enhancer rather than a primer.
