What do I do with liquid eyeshadow?

[smellyocheese]

I'm lost with this. Any ideas what to do with liquid eyeshadows? I like how the colours are bright but I don't suppose they'd be easy to blend.

thanks

Maybe use them as a base, or build up the color for an actual lid color & then put a dry shadow in the crease. I've never tried a liquid shadow. The closest thing I've tried is a cream shadow. Do you have a picture of how these look?

yeah. I'm already using cream shadows as base. I'm just tempted to buy makeup really.. lol. liquid shadow is something like this

Actually it's the exact one that I wanna get. I'm more into the mascara that's on the other end.

I'd use my finger to apply it first as a base to get a feel for it. Then I'd try out a brush with it. That particular one looks like a nice crease color.

I'd use them as base or even mix them with glitter/reflects glitter so they'll really pop!

thanks! I should try that if I do get the liquid shadow

Thanks for the picture. Okay, I have tried something very similar from Urban Decay. I use those as bases because for the most part they are pretty subtle, but if they were a little darker I would definitely use on my lids.

I agree with using them as bases! For the longest time, before I discovered UDPP, I was using white liquid shadow as a base. Some of the more sheerer, light colored ones make great highlighters!

thanks! I'll look into that. I've been using cream shadows as bases and they do tend to crease alot. I'd use UDPP too but the price... ouch... for me at least. lol
