Silk Naturals

Just got my latest order today. I ordered Fire-morphing shadow and haven't a clue how to use it, can someone give me some help? Thanks, J.

In my understanding, if you apply them over a Cream Liner or by foiling (wet your brush with water or even Visine), the interference color will be more prominent. I think primers might have the same effect.

Thanks Jen. Are the morphing shadows listed in a separate section or is Fire the only one? J.

We don't have them listed in a seperate section, yet. Here is a list, though.

"These include Sprite, Fire, Gasp, Breathe, Opal, Nymph, Pixie, Butterfly Blue, Highbeam, Hint, Teal Appeal, and possibly even Whisper."

I took this from the 'Tips on using Cream Liners" post under General Makeup Talk.

Whisper definitely morphs. It looks lovely if you don't foil it, but when you do, it really sparkles and brings out the diamond highlights.

I think you could wear any of them without foiling or the mixing medium and they'd still be pretty - but foiling or the mixing medium brings out more of the 'oomph' and the interference pigments (the things that create the subtle sparkles and colour changes when the light hits).

Thanks guys,now next question-the liner sealant is very thick, how are you mixing the morphing shadows w/ it, in a separate dish-how much do you need? I understand about using it underneath a liner or over a liner but unsure how to use w/ shadows on the whole lid. Thanks, J.

It takes very little of the Cream Liner. I still think it will be easier to apply the cream first and then the shadow. I probably will not take the time to premix it. I am going to try putting the Cream Liner on my lid (with my finger. You know this is my preferred method for anything of creamy consistency on my eye if I don't need a fine line!). A thin coat should do. Then I plan to put shadow over the top and use it much like a primer. I think the color payoff will be better by layering than premixing.

Jen, interesting plan. I just posted under eye primer thread about what a hard time I had trying to mix the sealant w/ shadow to appy as liner. Have you had any success w/ using it to mix w/ for shadows. Thanks.

In all honesty I think the premixing sounds like a step I would not want to mess with. However, I am totally willing to give it a try both ways and take a pic this week for comparison. I am for the quick and clean method. I would most likely apply the Cream Liner with a clean brush for a fine line, or my finger for all over my lid, and then apply the powdered shadows afterward with the appropriate brush. I may find the premixing does work better, though! It sounds like a great experiment. Check back on this thread early next week!

Jen,Just want to make sure we're talking the same product-my container says-liner sealer and underneath that cream eyeliner. thanks, J.
