i just tried sugar coated wet as a liner, and gotta say this is
fantastic. it makes it a really bright, shiny silver liner. the lucky
starling is gorgeous as a wet liner as well. i also want to try them over
another liner to lighten and brighten it.

if you've got either or both of these, i do highly recommend trying them wet.

What a funny coincidence - I actually just tried that this weekend - lined
my eyes with Sugar Coated wet. I loved the look. It's fun & it made my eyes
really stand out. I have Lucky Starling, too. I'll have to try that
next. -Stars

May I ask how you are doing this? I tried to use one wet as a liner today...I
dampened my brush slightly and dipped it into a tiny amount of powder that was
in the lid. I didn't get very good results. It was hard to pick up the color
and it was messy to apply. Are you using a brush?

I tried using a brush, and made a big mess. Then I tried damping a q-tip,
kind of rolling it between my fingers to make it narrower, and using that.
It worked well, but made a fairly thick line. If you are looking to make a
really thin line, you might need to try something else. I did this to go
out on a Saturday night, so a thicker, more dramatic line looked ok.

I'd be curious to hear how others are doing this also. I dipped my
brush into water, then into the powder. I then made a little "paste" on
my hand to make it smooth. This worked *ok*. The powder dried very
quickly on my hand and it was hard to get the same consistency, and
messy to wash off. Maybe I just need more practice.

I like this idea a lot. I have 4 of the OTL Powders and another 4 of the same
thing from Bare Escentuals. I can see that this would encourage more
experimenting! One question: If you leave the powder in the indentation to dry
out, do you remove it before using that shade again or just add more water?

I leave the powder in the "well" and just add more water that way I do not
have to feel cautious about how much I use making my "paint" and do not
feel it wasted. rjudith

Hmmmm, being a teacher, I have tons of old water color palates that were
left to me from a previous teacher. I could clean out one of them
really good and it would even have a cover. Nice and slim. Kind of like
the Stila 9-pan for L'Oreal powders. Hmmmmm........

I like the original. Have you ever thought of writing dialogue for crime
novels?
