any way to really make meadowland bright?

[Shawna]

I have meadowland and want to use it for my 80's party, but it just goes on so darn sheer. Has anyone found a way to intensify it? I am going to try paint, but it has to be a nude colour b/c I am wearing several different colours at once. How the heck do the girls at the makeup counter get theirs to go so vivid??

try some concelour on your lids

Bare Canvas or Untitled as a base then dampen your brush and apply it wet.

 

[mac_obsession]

use mixing medium with it...also as Janice suggested bare canvas, untitled or stillife paints as a base first..

I would try to put Untitled (it seems like a color that would least likely alter the color) under it and really pack it on with a 239 brush.

use blue peep as a base or a ccb

Rough up the surface using your brush then pick the powder up and PAT it onto your eyelid (after putting some paint on your lid as a base)

I've been experimenting with how to make it really stand out and have opted to use my paula dorf transformer and just cake the shadow on. I wouldn't do it every time, but it is only for one night. If it turns out well, I'll get some pics up. BTW, transformer works great for making liquid eyeliners out of your shadows!

put it on with a sponge applicator and it will be REALLY bright!!

thanks for all the tips, patting it on definitely does the trick!

I had the same problem, but I found a pretty cool technique by experimenting with my Lorac cream shadows. If you pat it over a black cream shadow or CCB, the color gets very metallic and intense. Over a concealer, it is more matte, but the color is true. Over a shimmery paint like stillife the color kinda fades out and gets very pale and pastel (but shimmery).

I use Chartru paint as a base and then put Meadowland over the top, first wet then dry.

Mix it with Mixing Medium! I did it with Pink Papillon, and it turn out so bright!!!

Seeing as I was asking for help with Metamorph, I thought I'd post here seeing as I got mine very vibrant by applying a e/s very similar to Pollen - do you have Pollen?

(the Pollen-like e/s I had was Shu Uemura P white 915)

I love love love Meadowland!
