“I absolutely love urban decay eye makeup. I have one of their colour pallets and it is so wonderful. Every colour is truly bold and just amazing. The only problem I experience is with the sparkles in a few of the colours. No matter how hard I try they find their way into my eye brows and decide to stay there. I have yet to figure out a way to get them out. Any suggestions?” - Anon

<p>Couple suggestions on this… have you tried applying your shadow over a shadow base like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P261211&categoryId=B70">NARS Smudge Proof</a>? It might make everything stick better. Or, you can apply the shadow over a cream eyeshadow (colored or in a nude tone) … there are some good ones in these <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P173300&categoryId=B70">NARS duos</a>. I learned this trick from Sam Chapman in a Real Techniques video which you can watch <a target="_blank" href="http://realtechniques.com/the-looks/high-glamour-evening-makeup-tutorial">here</a> (the part I’m referring to is at 2.00 mins and on).</p> <p>But after you do your face you can always brush through your eyebrows with a stiff brow brush to get the sparkles out.
