Wear it dry, and you’ve got your standard dusting of color\u2014classic and predictable (in a good way). But wet! Wearing it wet opens a whole new world of opportunity. “What you’re doing is bringing out the pigmented nature of the shadow,” makeup artist\u00a0Vincent Oquendo<\/a>\u00a0says. “Whenever I wet an eye shadow, it\u2019s when I really want it to pop\u2014but\u00a0it really has to be a special kind of product to be able to blend after it sets. Because a lot of the times when it sets, you get streaking.” Nobody wants that. In order to avoid any wet shadow mishaps, follow these guidelines:<\/p>\n

Product<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, go with the obvious: any eye shadow labeled wet-to-dry. The\u00a0Nars Dual-Intensity\u00a0line is the standout\u2014the singles come in 12 different shimmery shades, and there’s a corresponding brush (then there’s the newly released\u00a0Dual Intensity Blush\u00a0line, which was all over\u00a0Fashion Week\u2014but that’s a product for another post). Burberry also makes a few very versatile shades specifically for this in their\u00a0Wet & Dry Silk Shadows.<\/strong><\/em> And the technique-specific eye shadow category isn’t just a ploy to get you to buy more product. “You can’t just use any eye shadow for this,” Vincent says. “Certain ones will harden up on top and become unusable because they’re not made for this.”<\/p>\n

Baked shadows are also fair game\u2014we’re fans of\u00a0Laura Mercier’s Baked Eye Colour Wet\/Dry\u00a0and\u00a0Lorac’s Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio\u00a0in particular.<\/p>\n

For more advanced players, Vincent suggests moving on to straight pigment (MAC\u00a0or even\u00a0OCC’s Pure Cosmetic Pigments). With the added moisture, they’ll become easier to layer with other products. For a look with more depth, try using a cream shadow as a based before swiping with a wet powder shadow. “It’s like insurance,” Vincent\u00a0says. “You’re doubling your wearability.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Brush<\/strong><\/p>\n

This all depends on exactly what you want to do.\u00a0“Mind the resistance,” Vincent says, particularly if you’re looking for uniform color across the lid. “I tend to recommend a blender brush, which is the brush that looks like a feather duster. If you do it with a stiff brush, you\u2019re defeating yourself before you even start. The joy of a wet-to-dry is you have to get it right amount of product loaded up, and then it blends itself. If the brush is too stiff, it will leave the shadow streaky and then much harder to control.”<\/p>\n

However, if tightlining or waterlining is in the cards, a much thinner brush is required accordingly.<\/p>\n

Liquid<\/strong>
\nDo not, repeat, do not put eye drops, water, or any other sort of liquid directly on your eye shadow. This’ll screw up your product for later use. “Lately, I’ve been wetting the brush with the\u00a0Glossier Soothing Face\u00a0Mist, but\u00a0Evian Mineral Water Spray\u00a0is good for sensitive eyes,” Vincent says. If the top of your powder does get a little hardened by wet application, there’s a trick to remove it: Get a clean mascara spoolie and “exfoliate” your compact, Vincent recommends. This won’t crack the compact and will make it ready to go once more.<\/p>\n
