Do you ever use your powder products wet? Like eyeshadow? Blush?
.
Almost never; the only time I do is when I know it’s not going to leave a wet stain/spot behind, but I prefer using them dry.

I rarely do it, and even then it’s only with loose shadows. I worry too much with pressed shadows about having a weird hard spot form =/
Love using eyeshadows wet..I love an intese color payoff. I use mixing medium to make it vibrant and last. Eyeko has a new formula that you can take the brush, dip it in pigment or powder and poof a liner. Just for $12. Ive been havin a ball with it and it can apply loose glitter too
I did a few times but stopped…it was eye shadow.
Rarely but if I do I wet my brush after picking up the e/s so I know it won’t leave a wet spot.
Never! I know many people use pigments or mineral produts wet but I don’t even do that. I prefer using good bases and the powders in their original form. I’ve never had a problem doing this.
I often use dry products wet but only with rules. Frost and high shimmer products I will use wet. The only wet/dry foundation that doesn’t get completely disgusting is the Lancome Dual foundation and it is great for working with individuals 50-70 years old because it is so forgiving.
I always use wet MAC mineralize eyeshadows from Style black colletion, sometimes I use MAC pigments with a wet brush, but generally I prefer apply dry eyeshadows 😉
Honestly, never. I even use my pigments dry because I feel like I have more control over the layering. As for blushes, I could never see that work on me.
I use the studi fix powder foundation wet when I need a little extra coverage. I also like to use minrealized eye shadows wet as I think the color payoff is better.
Only if it’s a mineralized eye shadow !
I have only used a powder eyeshadow wet as a liner. Once it’s wet, I only use it for liner…it’s kinda ruined once the water is introduced to it.
Love to use eyeshadow wet for a more vibrant color, or MAC carbon as eyeliner.
I find that Chanel shadows work much better when they are wet, however, I try not to saturate them too much. I often wet my liner brush to use with a lot of shadows as an eyeliner.
It depends for me. I use mineral makeup for the most part and, when I want heavier coverage, will use a wet brush to apply it. I’ve also used damp eyeshadow brushes to foil my eyeshadows.
I use powder products wet all the time, especially eye shadow. I love using MAC mineralize eye shadows wet. I also make my shadows into liner quite often, either with water or with MAC Fix+.
Sure do! Well, depending on the look, and whether I have a cream base in any corresponding colors. Particularly the MUFE creams work SOO well to brighten colors and be a good base, with just a layer of dry shadow or powder over it. or i might use it wet if i watn a particular color of liquid liner. So its not that often, but i DO use things wet.
sometimes,but just my black eyeshadow… it looks greeat!
I don’t recall ever using a powder product wet. I know you can wet an eyeshadow and use it as a liner but I would rather just buy a liner in the color I want in the first place.
Yes occasionally – to avoid the wet-spot I load my brush up with shaodw, then mist the brush with water & apply.
All the time. I typically buy shadows only if they able to wear wet and dry, so Chanel and NARS are at the top of my list. I love having a matte eye liner look, and using wet shadows allows me a huge array of shades to choose from.
Sometimes I use my MSF powder and Mineral eyeshadows wet. I also use my pigments wet sometimes.
I never have!!
Mineralize shadows and some loose shadows/pigments. But not very often.
I rarely mix up a mixing medium from water and glycerin for some of my chunkier loose pigments or my MAC MES, but I generally prefer to use everything dry since it’s a lot less hassle and I don’t have to worry about ruining my shadow or having to avoid the spot if I want to use it dry in the same look.
I have scraped some eyeshadow off the pan before and put it into a Lise Watier solution (can’t remember the name) that makes powders into eyeliners. That’s it though.
Oh and a couple times I accidentally put a damp brush on my e/s pans and they have a weird spot now 🙁
I have used some powder eye shaddows wet when I felt like they were too light or I wanted to contour with it and it’s worked but I don’t do it very often. Interestingly, I never had a problem with a wet spot being left. I can’t imagine doing it with blush or powder foundation.
i frequently use my eye shadows wet…i love the intensity of the color! ive never done it with blush though.
Very occasionally and only eyeshadows (to turn them into eyeliners) and pigments. I don’t even know why you’d want to apply blush wet, yuck. 🙂
I use eyeshadow wet frequently, especially when I’m trying to get a more intense color. I also like wetting shadow to use for eyeliner
I use a lot of my mineral shadows wet, but it depends on the look im going for.
if i want something extra flashy then thats when I foil them, but if not i keep it the way it is.
Yes. Especially if it’s a color that has alot of fallout or does not have alot of pigmentation. I always to this with my pigments.
i use pigments wet sometimes depending on the look. using them wet is fun when youre in the mood to switch up how they apply. i loooove chocolate brown pigment dry but its to die for when used wet!
Sometimes use a wet brush on a dark coloured powder and use it as contour,,works well for me.
I use pigments wet half of the time to avoid fall out and/or to get better color pay off. I have only done it with mineral eye shadows a couple times.
I almost always use loose powder eyeshadow wet, then dry over it for better blending. Although now that I have Fyrinnae’s pixie epoxy, rarely, since I don’t need to with it.
so far nope as i’m fear of ruining them…
I rarely do, but I will usually use a pressed eyeshadow wet if it’s a color that I find is too intense to wear normally, but I feel more confident with it as an eyeliner.
Sometimes I’ve used pigments and mineral shadows wet, but only if there are adhesion/intensity problems.
Yes, mostly mineral products. eg. MAC Mineralized Eye Shadow and MAC Pigments.
Pigments and eyeshadows that don’t show up well (eg. MAC Cool Heat). Mineral foundation, sometimes.
no because even though i know it won’t hurt it, i am afraid of wrecking my products.
No, dry is the way to go!
I will pick up shadow with the brush and then spray the brush in order to use the shadow wet, otherwise I don’t because I’m concerned about damaging the product.
I think i have but just like a couple of times and just on eyeshadow, but not totally wet =P
