More coverage?

Post by Susanna » Tue Jan 05, 2010 9:26 am

I sadly discovered that I`m sensitive to silk... So I`ve bought Vegan formula which works wonderful. But I want more coverage, in EDM I use the intensive formula. Is there any way too do this (whitout putting on three layers, doesn´t work for me)?

I'm not sure which brush you are using, but one of the things that helped for me, was to use the flat top brush, rather than the kabuki. I love the kabuki for putting on nice thin layers, and that was what I preferred with EDM, but I just wasn't getting enough coverage with SN. So I tried my EDM flat top and that made a load of difference. The coverage was better, but still natural looking. I still use my kabuki though for the finishing powders and other stuff.

I don't think it is possible with the current vegan formula to get heavier coverage without layers.
One thing, though........What brush are you using? A Flat Top generally gives a heavier coverage as far as application. (Looks like I was simul-posting with stefami. ;) )
