Macroviolet Fluidline?!

[thenovice]

I revieved this in the mail yesterday along with DipDown, but i noticed that this one was a bit more liquidy. It was hard to keep a straight line with and sunk completely when i put the brush it. Anyone else have this problem? If so, any suggestions?

I also just got macroviolet in the post from someone on spectra and i thought mine was normal. If you think it's too squishy, pop it in fridge for like 7 miniutes before you use it!

Mine's fine, it's actually one of my more "solid"/dry fluidlines, I actually find it drier than Blacktrack, and lots drier than Frostlite and Haunting. Maybe you got a very freshly made pot or something? Mind you I bought mine in a scorchingly hot country (Singapore) so maybe that's got something to do with why my pot's so solid compared to the other fluidlines I have.....

Application tips for Macroviolet - it benefits from being kinda "dabbed" along the eyelid rather than drawing a straight line, this seems to show up the sparkles better. I actually find the sparkles make Macroviolet a tiny bit gritty, but again that could be partially due to the fact I've got a dry-ish pot of it, and again I don't at all find it unworkable...

Return it if it's not any good to you? If it's not returnable and you don't find it usable as is, you could try leaving the lid off the pot for an hour or so, see if the "liquidiness" dries up in the air a bit?

ooh that tip about putting f/l in the fridge is fantastic glitternmyveins - thanks, I'm going to try that with mine.

Thanks so much, i will try the fridge thing. Useing a thicker brush also helpded a bit, but i smudged it out some so it didn't look so bold.
