Anyone made cream eye shadows?

Hey all!

I've been having a problem with loose pigments making my eyes itch, I tap off the brush and use a primer but it's still not enough to keep the dust from flying all over the place. So I'm wondering, has anyone tried making any of SN's eye shadows into cream eye shadows? I could use a damp brush, and I will try that, but after the water evaporates the powders will become dry and may migrate, so I'm planning ahead for something else to try.

Oh, and yes, I've already emailed Karen about this... Just wanted to see if anyone has given this a go?!

Did you try mixing medium? http://host.silknaturals.com/creb/clear ... -1002.html

I haven't got my clear cream liner yet (shipping to Russia takes a month or more) but it seems you can apply shadows with it making them creamy.

Thanks Die Marchen! Mixing medium is a great idea, but doesn't result in the texture I'm looking for. I like it for lining if I'm looking for a more fluid line and I love it for my brows!

I have several of the cream liners, I prefer them over the mixing medium for lining and foiling... But the texture of it in its little pot is like a lip balm almost, dense, not the sort of thing you stir eye shadow into. I think you'll like it, its a very versatile product!

Have you ever tried Pixie Epoxy by a company called Fyrinnae? I think it's my favorite tool for applying loose shadows, especially sparkly ones. It makes them stick and last all day, and brings out the colors truly with all their nuances.
Do you prime your eye beforehand, also? Or use a good moisturizer on your eye? dry lids can be really uncomfortable when applying e/s.

What moisturizer for eyes do you use?

Meheeeen--I haven't tried the Pixie Epoxy, but I want to get a sample of it at some point, thanks for reminding me of it!

I do use a primer with my e/s and I also use a moisturizer and/or serum (green tea & aloe), just depends on the day and how my face feels... I guess I should have been a little clearer though, it's not the e/s itching my lids that's the biggest problem (the primer prevents that normally), its the dust getting into my eyes that makes them itchy and inflamed, I have chronic dry eyes. I can use eye drops to hydrate my eyes, but that only does so much and tends to make powders smudge! So, I was looking for a cream method, since normally that involves minimal fall out and a bit of moisture from eye drops doesn't make it budge much.
