These are loose powders so, until they're packed onto your eyelids,  they do have a reasonable amount of fallout. I found it worth placing a piece of tissue paper under my eyes when applying to catch any stray specks. However, once on, these powders last and last. I could still see them on my eyelids after a full day's wear.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQcpbMCuPtiCnW6-0XrnET2RbN0dsQto3_ksgdyzeY5sn8NM0VXSS8rUUn1xWO4-jKYVZCRwmQCCIP2dZ2EHnQmHKI8witg0eQMNKGVIhM8ZiS1mdl_rVe9QEOHq7_tjLE23wja2JM9yn/s1600/younique+096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQcpbMCuPtiCnW6-0XrnET2RbN0dsQto3_ksgdyzeY5sn8NM0VXSS8rUUn1xWO4-jKYVZCRwmQCCIP2dZ2EHnQmHKI8witg0eQMNKGVIhM8ZiS1mdl_rVe9QEOHq7_tjLE23wja2JM9yn/s1600/younique+096.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">And here's a good tip: you can mix a little water, or this pretty <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/mirandaroller/party/924814/view" target="_blank">Younique Refreshed Pure and Natural Rosewater spray</a> (which smells heavenly, and is also good for a quick spritz on bare skin during the day) with any of the pigments to make your very own coloured eye liner. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6szwB8T8Y7AhWemlasFRFQTIbvqaTxn1dTk0BBOJa4ziUrtLTe2wwmWClg-Cg6r7V6AVYzyOyymQixPuWQEOhXBH7WM8fLeVIZu7pRxjdu10PJEeFORJpBz9fBTowO5sJ0I9WdYDoTHsY/s1600/younique+108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6szwB8T8Y7AhWemlasFRFQTIbvqaTxn1dTk0BBOJa4ziUrtLTe2wwmWClg-Cg6r7V6AVYzyOyymQixPuWQEOhXBH7WM8fLeVIZu7pRxjdu10PJEeFORJpBz9fBTowO5sJ0I9WdYDoTHsY/s1600/younique+108.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">All you need to do is shake out a very little bit onto the lid, and mix  in the tiniest drop of water with a brush.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjL5PV8eMG8or7sO_espQXLBCfJNEm2dB4DgrqV8AykPYXa_XVtVezqdJSnMrbTPgcLlKG2c1tAJ_tnElogSZz9xZ1M5IHRFqDKOVIpg_PDpyQ2g2JqaQXBLR3w3Z0OqtG9NFGgTJQuAnn/s1600/younique+116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjL5PV8eMG8or7sO_espQXLBCfJNEm2dB4DgrqV8AykPYXa_XVtVezqdJSnMrbTPgcLlKG2c1tAJ_tnElogSZz9xZ1M5IHRFqDKOVIpg_PDpyQ2g2JqaQXBLR3w3Z0OqtG9NFGgTJQuAnn/s1600/younique+116.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of brushes, I was very impressed with the quality of these <a href="https://www.youniqueproducts.com/mirandaroller/party/924814/view" target="_blank">Younique animal-hair brushes</a> (and that they are completely cruelty free).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I chose three brushes: the deluxe, which is one of the softest brushes I've ever used; the Crease, which is made using Goat's hair to make it slightly stiffer; and the double ended Liner/Shader, which is the brush I like to use with the powders when they're wet.
