How do I use mixing medium to apply my eyeshadow?

Question

I know the concept, but I'm just not sure if I should wet my brush and then dip it in the eyeshadow, or should I dip it in the eyeshadow, and then wet it with the mixing medium? Does it even matter? Also, does anybody have any ideas on how to use water-based mixing medium for anything other than applying eyeshadow? Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Place 1 drop of medium on a dish

If pigment or lose shadow dampen brush first then put on pigment or lose eyeshadow

If pressed eye shadow put eyeshadow on brush then dampen

Answer 2

whenever i want to apply my shadows wet, i get the shadow on the brush FIRST, AND THEN i get it wet! : )

i do this because i dont want to get my brush wet and then dip it in the shadow, cause im afraid it will ruin the shadow and mess it all up! : |

sooo yeah: )
