Anybody pre-mix liner?

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.

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 got the Clear Mixing Medium and I have not used it yet. Any suggestions? thanks

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.
