How to transform eyeshadow into colorful eyeliner?

With an exciting assortment of loose pigments for eyes, Orglamix provides endless imagination. You can transform any of our highly concentrated 100% natural, pure mineral eyeshadows into eyeliner in a wink. It's simple to create your own unique, full and intensely bright, one-of-a-kind color eyeliners at your fancy.

Follow these simple steps to transform eyeshadow into eyeliner:

 

  1. Loose Eyeshadow
    Start with a bit of loose color - eyeshadow or pigment - both work well. Place a bit of color on a lid or in another suitable, empty container, jar or palette.
  2. Water or Mixing Medium
    Next dampen brush with a few drops of water or mixing medium. Less is more; you do not need a lot of liquid. Using a mixing medium adds maximum blendability, adherence and hold, so your eyeliner will stay on all day.  Dip the damp brush into eye color. The minerals will cling to the brush. Swirl the brush in the jar lid to create a creamy paste. To avoid cross contamination, do not dip wet makeup brush directly into your jar of eyeshadow or pigment. 
  3. Apply
    To line eyes buff a line of color along the lash lines from end to end. If using more than one color, let the layer dry completely before next application of color.
