bobbi brown Galaxy cream shadow

Q: I'm finding that it's sparkly and kind of sheer. Would you recommend wearing another shadow with it? And where on the lid should I put it?

A: i think you can wear it by itself, during the day or at night or whenever. i got it for you b/c to me it is sort of a shimmery gray color, and i think gray looks good on everyone. if you use your finger, i would just smear it on the eyelid with my 4th finger in a half moon shape so that when you look at yourself in the mirror straight head, you can just see a bit of it above your crease. make sense? if you want it to be darker, you can use a brush and put it in the same shape. if it isn't dark enough, you can use your finger and just put 2 layers of it on. i usually end up using 2 layers when i use my finger b/c i feel like finger application comes out more sheer than brush app. you can also use it on top of your mac shadows if you want to give some shimmer. you can also use a powder shadow on top of the galaxy to give it more lasting power and make it less sparkly. you could put a sheer finger smear on and then use a brush to put a sheer, beige-y or whatever color with a brush on top (powder shadow). to make it dark for night, you could smear it on then use a brush with powder shadow in a silver, gray, black, blue, etc type colors. you could also use a dark brown or plum/purple color. i think silver is really versatile b/c you can use it with a lot of different other colors. if you want to be dramatic at night, you could put it all over your entire eye, including under the browbone to highlight, and then put a darker shadow in the crease area. then your whole eye would be sparkly and you would still have some definition with a darker shadow. but i think you will just have to experiment to see what you like best.
