I recently bought six mineral eye shadows from a company called Black Rose Minerals. I was excited to support a smaller company and to try some new colors. I also bought some that were more shimmery because I wanted to play with some lighter color shimmers.
The problem I have run into with all but one of the colors is that they do not "stick" even on a base when blended, or at least not on the base I used which was a white NYX jumbo eye pencil.
Is this just an issue with mineral make-up? Is it because they are loose and not pressed?
One of the color is a gorgeous rich metallic purple, but when I apply it and try to blend it there is barely any color at all left, and what is left is much lighter, which really frustrates me because I was dying to wear that one. Here is the color and the swatches from the shop: http://www.blackroseminerals.com/product_info.php?cPath=34_33&products_id=545
Am I not supposed to blend mineral eyeshadow? Or not supposed to blend shimmers?
