Shadesticks Drying Out?

[roxybc]

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I bought Pink Coture and Beigeing shadesticks when they first came out, so it has taken me this long to use them up. I have a tiny bit of Pink Coture left, and I wanted to test it out under some shadows on my hand last night, and it took a lot of rubbing to get the color to show up. Also, I have a couple of the newer shadesticks (silverbleu, shimmermint, etc) and it seems like they (along with Pink Coture and Beigeing) have shrunk in width a little bit. I remember when I first got them all, the shadestick part was the same size as the opening that they came out of, but now there is cleaarly space all around the shadstick part, so it seems like they have shrunk a little bit. Does that make sense to anyone??

I often use my hairdryer on them to soften them up. Some colors seem to harden up more than others.

I haven't noticed any shrinkage. I will say that they can harden a bit depending on the temp. The weather here has been all over. When its warmer and I use the shadesticks they are super creamy and they go on like a dream, when it's cooler they are drier and can drag a bit.

well its been al over here temp wise... here I normally use my hair dryer for a few seconds and they work great.. but what I'm using now is the paintsticks they hold better then shade sticks no glitter so much better when wanting to do a matte look and they really only cost like $3 more then the shade sticks

Make sure that the cap is on ALL THE WAY when you're finished with it. Sometimes mine doesnt close all the way and air will get in.

i think mine are pretty dry, i think i shall use a hair dryer to try and melt it a little so that it'll go on more smoothly. thanks for the tips girls
