How do you use/apply these?? Because the formula is creamy I don't see how it would work for a smokey eye. I really like these so would love some ideas on what to do with them lol.

So with no other colours?? What do you blend the edges out with?

Mm.. I would use a maybeline color tatto as a base and then in the crease I would apply powder eyeshadow and blend it out.

I've had trouble applying it too, I personally just apply it on my lid and let it sit and warm for like a minute then blend it works better that way.

I do the something similar to what Gretel does - I normally will apply the color tattoo with my finger as a base, then go Into the crease with a regular shadow brush along with some powder eyeshadow to blend everything out. Also, applying the color tattoo with a very dense, compact eye shadow brush may help the shadow be more pigmented

You can use your fingers or a brush. If you let it sit on your eye too long then you won't be able to blend it. I personally like using my fingers and dab it on my entire lid. Then I dab my finger in it again (but with less product) and smooth out the edges. I've created a smokey eye with it before but I usually use an eyeshadow in the crease to make it look extra blended. Also some colours work a lot better than others. Some of them get streaky and don't apply evenly.

Best way is to apply with your finger. Swirl it around and tap it onto your lid. Smooth away any harsh lumps. A brush would just clump on the ends and create a mess.

I agree with these girls!
I use my finger too, then I blend it with a Mac 217 brush if I want it soft :)
