When I use shadow as an e/l I use a few things that all work just great for me. I use MAC Mixing medium, Visine, Smashbox converter, or water. With either product, I wet my brush and then load the wet brush with e/s and use it that way. If using loose shadow, I usually put a bit of the shadow in the lid and work from there so as not to wet all the product. If using pressed powder shadow, I work from a small section of the shadow so as not to wet the whole pan. With Stila shadows, I'm not as careful cuz it seems to have no effect on the shadow either way.
I get lasting color when using everything EXCEPT the water. Water works well, but I find that the color doesnt remain as vibrant or last quite as long when I use that as opposed to the other products.
