how would i make an eye shadow less chalky ?

[urbanD0LL]

i bought forgery from mac and the texture is so weird ... it's like a grainy powdery chalky type of texture , but i like the color . the only "white" i can pull off , when i rub it on my hand it comes off fine but when i put it on my eye it's not cute at all .

You can try spray MAC's fix+ on your brush before dipping it into the shadow. That way, it'll adhere a little better to your brush and therefore your eyelid. If you don't already have fix+, I suggest that you try it out because it's awesome as a finishing spray/ makeup setting mist as well as a mixing medium for pigments.

oohh when you say finishing + fix spray , does that mean no more foundation not going on my clothes ?!

LOL. Depends on what you use. Since I'm using MSF natural in Med. Dark, I have no fall out after spraying fix+ to set it. For liquid, I'm not quite sure. It keeps the makeup in tact and helps it stick on your face and not so much on your clothes. LOL.

you can also try using visine on your brush before you dip it into the eyeshadow. it will make the color a little wet and it will stay on your skin nicer and adhere longer.

I suggest putting liquids onto the brush after you put it into the e/s so you don't mess up the surface of the e/s!
