Anybody pre-mix liner?

Post by LionT » Tue Feb 23, 2010 10:23 pm

I have both the clear cream liner and the mixer medium.
I am wondering if it is possible to premix some of the above with eyeshadow for convenience? I have some old "Holy Crow" sample type containers I can wash and reuse.
I've tried premixing ES with cream liner, but it became very dry and flaky.

Thks.
Early spring mix:
2WG+2BG+1ebony+1/4 olive+ 36ivory

In theory it's possible. The colored cream liners are essentially tinted versions of the clear, and we tint them with what's essentially eye shadow. On paper it *should* work. The mixing medium does have a tendency to dry out, but if you keep it well sealed you're probably okay for a week or so.

I've tried both, and I prefer the clear liner. With the clear liner, it becomes a paste. With the mixing medium, it becomes a gel like goo. I find it pretty hard to mix.

Thanks Lion. I was wondering if I was just a clutz as it did not seem to work easily for me. I usually dry line with a thin eye angled brush and then take a smudger brush. The slight bluffing brings out the nice shimmers.

I do have the cream clear liner somehow in my stash.
