Nice Vi!  I'd never thought to try to do linework with the Starblends.  The Ben Nye Magicakes seem to work great.  Thanks for the demo.

Thanks for the video. I use the StarBlends quite often when I need to cover a large area quickly and on smaller children that don't sit still as well. I purchased two Ben Nye colors in hopes that they would work better for the hotter days. I haven't had much luck with them wet, I didn't even try them dry. It was like the paint and the water just didn't want to play well together. I'll maybe pull them out of the kit and give them another try.

April, what Ben Nye colors are you using? some of them HATE water, but others work really well.

Sherry, it does take more water and more reloading, but it's working ok for me for the time being... I'd rather take an extra minute than have a runny face I have to re-do completely

I purchased black and a green, but I'm not sure which green I tried using. That's why I was going to search through my kit. If it is the one you referred to on your video then that would explain the issue.
