YVES SAINT LAURENT eye shadows

[Derari]

Has anyone ever tried the YSL eyeshadows?? I bought a new set of 5 colours, blues, not sure if it is as pigmented as I would like...

I like most of their products, and usually the shadows are well pigmented.  But those 5 color compacts are not inexpensive, and if you're not happy, I'd return.

Exactly...

I'm wondering what I can do to help the colour be darker...I heard you can use them wet??

I forgot to bring my eye primer with me on vacation...I just have the primer that I would use on my face :(

yes, they can be used wet... it makes them darker and last longer, but sometimes harder to blend.  almost facial primers can be used on eyes as well.

I'm on iPad, I can never figure out how to???

You can use regular lotion/moisturizer as an eyeshadow primer in a pinch. I would suggest something unscented, though.

just get your brushes wet and make a kind of paste of the shadow.  once it dries, you can blend it better.  again, I'd use whatever primer you have on hand as a shadow primer. :)

Ok I will definitely give it a try! It doesn't ruin the shadows, using the wet brushes?

I'm going to use the face primer:)
