Honey, you should know better. LOL.

Well, each their own method. I was just pointing out the easiest way to make color not show up anymore. LOL. I think a lot happens by accident at well. I've seen people using MAC wipes in an attempt to clean an e/s and then wonder why it does not swatch at all (and in the worst case scenario, return or product or give it a bad review).

Have you only used a freshly cleaned brush to apply it?

If you test it with your fingers or go in with a brush that has been previously use, there's probably a slight (invisible) oil film on it, which makes it hard for you to pick up product. And yes, just one finger swatch is enough to impair a blush (or an e/s).

I'm not suggesting that you did this, but if so, I would tediously clean the surface with a beauty product cleaner and then start from fresh. It's a great color and I hope you will enjoy it.

do you have a brand you can suggest?

BeautySoClean does a good job, though sometimes only scrapping of the surface helps.

Thankyou for your advice, i clean my eye brushes after every use but my blush one i clean every week with a deep clean... perhaps i need to clean these brushes now after each use as well with a spray of mac brush cleanser... i havent touched it with my finger but im going to go back to cleaning face brushes now after every use. i clean the one i use for liquid foundation every day but the powder ones i havent been.

I wish i could get beautysoclean, i want to get it for my products but its very hard to find over here in australia in store and online

oh cleaning brushes is a must to me. eery sunday i deep clean all the brushes i have used that past week. i never use one more than once! that is my excuse to why i have a silly amount of 239 brushes! i need multiples so i don't have to wash as much. i actually have a couple of the sigma version too which are actually quite nice.

princess sarah · Oct 18, 2011

I have 3 x 239, 2 x 210 and 2 x 217!!!! But i have finally found beautysoclean on a site in Australia!!!! I have ordered my set and my metal spatula for my paint pots/lime crime primer, so I'm super happy now.. Love that stunner blush and I'm so clean with my brushes too Lou... Eye brushes / liquid & cream makeup brushes every day and face brushes once a week which is just my powder and blush brush... I hope my blush ok

I have a lot of favorites from this collection, but Equilibrium gets the most use. Runaway Red is the only thing I backed up, since it's my dream red, but I actually think I've used Offshoot and Prince Noir even more, since for whatever reason, Runaway Red seems like a really dressy color that only looks best with glamorous dresses and sky high heels. It demands deep purple velvet, black lace and gold lame!

Funny, I feel exactly the same way. I love Runaway Red, but I feel like I need an occasion to wear it... Perhaps I'll trot it out a lot during the holidays...
