I have two eyeshadows that go really well together as far as their color goes, but one one is a powder shadow and the other a liquid shadow. I am having trouble getting them to play nice together, if I apply the powder first then the liquid just makes it clump and streak! Is there a specific way this is supposed to be handled/applied? Any suggestions?

Re: Powder and liquid eyeshadow together as a duo!
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 8:54 PMI use liquid concealer over my entire upper lid and under eye area(my one Mac indulgence). I apply powder eye shadow after, then a light dab with face powder to hold it all.
So liquid first. Dab on, cleanup with a Qtip, then use a sponge applicator for the powder.
