Another liner question

Post by LionT » Sat Feb 27, 2010 9:26 am

Thanks Karen for explaining my last question regarding premixing liners.

I am wondering how to make liners as deep and dark as store bought liquid liners? Is it the mixing medium, or the eyeshadow? Which ES to use?
I am using Wildcat, and Bewitched. Neither of them dark enough. I just want to give it another try before I go to the store and buy one.
Thanks.

It's all about the pigment....to get really dark colors you have to start with a very dark color. A little Coal mixed in would probably do the trick- it's pretty much pure black.

OK. So it is Coal. Thks!
Can I also say - Basalt for deep brown, and Raven for dark gray?
