That's the thing though - you shouldn't have to use another product just to get an eyeshadow to look good and work well. The average home consumer puts on eyeshadow with a fingertip and would rightfully point out that it's stupid to have to use another product, and the average working make-up artist hasn't got the time nor the patience to mess about with mixing mediums when they shouldn't be required in the first place.
Which sucks, because Fine Shine is a great colour.

Well the other problem with this is that mixing mediums are not available at most locations. And the only thing close to it is EZR so trying to convince the every day consumer that they should purchase EZR just so they can make those lustres work is a REAL hard sale.

Occasionally they redo the schematic to accomodate the introduction of new shadows and discontinuation current regular shadows. They only have so much room on the display unit. When they add new ones, certain shadows that are then DC'd or are about to become DC'd go in the overflow tray, as they no longer have room on the display unit. The "overflow tray" is either a metal tray or large Pyrex container that holds the shadows and is generally kept right behind the shadow display unit. That way the MAs can still access them until they sell the remaining stock. Each merchandise/launch period, they put out a merchandising book that talks about what is coming out, where to place it in the store and for how long the product and/or display should be out on the sales floor. MAs go to a class every merchandise/launch period called "Update". They receive an advance view, training and a book on upcoming products. Hope that helps.

haha thats where I come in. I dont work there but I always have to fix the order for them lol. it annoys the crap out of mr to see a color like aquadisiac next to something like woodwinked.
Woodwinked belongs around in the top of the second rack thing and aquadisiac is like the last shadow on the second rack. anyway...
haha I hate the overflow tray. I always have to reach over to get at one I want to look at.
Spring Up is STILL at my counter and I'm like ew. Go away.

I loved Lustrevision! I don't know why everyone's complaining about the good stuff (ie. Glimmershimmers and lustres) finially being made permanent, they're great! Just gotta know how to use them and be willing work with them. Otherwise, you miss out on some great stuff and those lustres were some of the best! Finally I'll have more of Casino.

The best substitue for Mixing Medium eye to use the lustres on the eye area would be Fix+ and since it's sold everywhere and not overly expensive, that wouldn't be too bad. Other than that, they could just use a shadestick or paint under them, they work just as well. Lustres aren't hard to work with at all.

That's the point. As a makeup artist I can make almost anything 'work' and what I will use on my face or when I'm working is one thing. But it is hard to sell a lustre to the everyday customer when another product is needed to 'make it work'. Some products work better with a base such as a shadestick but to tell the soccer mom customer that she has to use Fix+ in order to make that one little eyeshadow she just ran into the store for a pick me up to work for her is a hard sell.
