there's nothing complicated here

forget the natural brushes, go for synthetic. wet your brush a bit and then pick some eyeshadow. it becomes paint so take a small amount and apply, you can always add more later. i like to apply a thin coat of UDPP before any kryolan e/s. they blend well.

to remove, any makeup remover does the job.

you will have to add water, i've found in my palette some eyeshadows appeared more creamy than others, but i find i still have to wet my brush.

Thank you so much. I have 2 sets and I was afraid to play with them. Do they irritate your skin if you wear them for long periods of time? Sorry for all of the questions, but they are unlike anything that I have ever seen.

I have two Kryolan aquacolour palettes. You use a wet synthetic brush to make a cream then apply that. Always over a base as some of the brighter colours (reds and greens) will stain. I had no problems with irritation, but those sensitive to red dyes might.

Random fact - I can buy red kryolan aquacolour eye shadows in the UK. In the US it has to be sold as blusher. Something to do with which dyes are allowed in cosmetics. It's safe but our countries have different rules.

it doesn't irritate me, even the red eyeshadow, and i have pretty sensitive eyes.

that's funny Becky, here they can be sold as eyeshadows too.

Multi purpose.
