I tried wet application yesterday...still trying to figure out it all works..dry or wet

It sounds like it transfers when you open your eye- give it a few seconds to dry, and you should be in better shape.

Let your eye shadows dry for a few seconds before opening your eyes. I apply my pigments with a damp brush most of the time.

as Becky said you have to wait a few secs in order to let your e/s dry. do not wet your brush too much either, take off all the excess water with a tissue.

You can get a small spray container that lets you finely mist the brush, rather then soak it - ive heard from many that this is an easier method, but have yet to try it myself though.

they are right, wait for some seconds so your liner (applied wet) gets dry first.

my problem with applying eyeshadows wet is i have difficulty in blending them afterwards. the colors tend to disappear or brushed away

hello everyone...i did as everyone here suggested..waited few seconds to open me eyes and it worked fine..thanks very much

now my problem is the foiling of e/s...i.e doing one shade dry all over the eye and using another shade wet/foiling on half of the lid upto the crease...i get same problem with this...and i even did the waiting for it to be dry thing..but it still smeared alittle

you might need to use a mixing medium (better than water) since it kind of adds a bit of stickiness to the eyeshadow and in a way help it to adhere better to your lids. also, the brush should be barely moist at most, the excess of water will turn the eyeshadow into a gooey consistency that is really hard to apply evenly on the skin. i learned that from my own mistakes. :P

i use medusa eyeliner sealer to apply mmu wet...is that not classsed as a mixing medium thn??
