If it matters, I've been using MAC shadows.

These are from the Holiday 2005 palettes. I kind of sweep the brush into the pan, but the powder doesn't seem to come off easily, and I feel like I get either not enough, or too much, onto the eyelid... and it never seems to really do what I want it to. Don't know if that explains it very well! Sorry. :p

Asker, in my opinion cream shadows really suck...all they do is look funny and come off your lid creases more than you want them to as the day wears on. Try finding a eye shadow primer (not too many companies make primers, but Mary Kay makes the best I think - I swear by it - I use it every day, and it comes in a gray tube) or, if you can't, use a good liquid concealer and apply that to your eyelids and then afterwards use the powder shadow (I like Clinique Airbrush concealer). You'll see a world of difference in how much easier the powder applies, plus it stays on all day and does not show (or come off) your creases.

Mac is a good shadow ...but not for beginners... it is a strong blend...First try putting a little foundation or base on you lids...then very lightly dip your brush n the eye shadow...tap off excess and aply slowly...then blend very well..just do that until you get the color you like...look at some make up sites and it will show you in the orders to put it on...

They say never aply eyeshadow using ur finger but i have always done it and it has a gr8 finish.
For a more drematic effect wet ur finger first then gently rub it into ur shadow then apply. dont use cream it looks tacky and after a while leavs a tacky finish also smudges. **** luck xx

you could also try applying the eyeshadow with a damp eyeshadow brush. this keeps the sprinkles from spreading, giving you a more precise effect....and your eyeshadow has probably expired, if it is from 2005. you may simply need to purchase new eyeshadow.
