For me, I find that's the UDPP show and stick more the mica than others primers.
I put a little of UDPP, let it dry 1 minute, then I put my TKB mica with a good brush for my eyes(synthetic or natural like here
Crownbrush - Millions Of Brushes At Your Fingertips ) but I "tape" the mica, I don't smooth it.
Like Fyrinnae explain the application :
F.A.Q. (this is the 8th answer).
For TKB, sometimes, I put more layers, but very fine layer (2-3) for more show the color.
For a wet application, I use a homemade mixing medium (1/3 glycerine + 2/3 purifided water, make a little, because it doesn't have "conservateur", see Enkore on Youtube), I think it's work better than pure water or Fix+.
The e/s from Fyrinnae are more pigmented but it's normal because this brand made unique colors and put more that's mica on them.
Fyrinnae is the only one brand more pigmented and more diversified than the TKB mica.
I tested SignatureMinerals, EverydayMinerals, TaylorMadeMinerals, ArchetypeCosmetics, Meow, Mac pigment, GoshCosmetics, BarryM, Bourjois, FaceFrontCosmetics and MakeUpForEver, Alima.
You can buy the base for TKB and mix it with your mica :
TKB's Matte Texture Base for Eyes
I don't test this method, I prefer put 2-3 fine layers.
But I have now a better application for mineral makeup with testing and errors. I find my "good" primer, my "good" brushes, etc.
lol Flowind thank you
I'm a little irritated against the "no-cool" mineral brands, because I wait an order from ArchetypeCosmetics since the 8th january (!). That's explain my critical writing
ps : ok, I lie, I'm very irritated on ArchetypeCosmetics and on the blogger/Youtuber which have of the free makeup and which make it pub (with some money in the key?)
