I bought this at a trade show a while back and honestly didn't use it for months because I as afraid to ruin something but after a while I decide what the heck! In addition to the Cel Sealer I had purchased 5 of the Kryolan eye dusts and the sales associate told me that the Cel Sealer would turn them into liner if I wanted. Now this was before I had discovered YT so I had no idea what "foiling" was I just know that you could apply shadows wet if you wanted. So one day I got brave and decided to play it safe and use one of the black eye dusts and turn it onto liner. WOW. It was so super easy and you barely need any product. I put a TINY drop in the lid of the eye dust (or any pigment/loose mineral) and then mix in some of the color and VOILA instant liner in any color you have really.
It's amazing. Not only because its so easy but because you barely need any product and it doesn't alter the color of the pigment at all. It dries quickly and doesn't smudge. A half drop is really all you need if you can manage to squeeze that little out. What I do is drop a teeny bit into the lid of the color I'm going to use, then wet my brush in the drop and then dip the wet brush into my pigment of choice*. The wet brush picks up just the right amount then just mix it in the cap, you can add more dry product if you want but I do not recommend adding more of the liquid as it will become too watery and dilute the color. Once you have it completely mixed and the right consistancy apply it to your lid and it will dry in seconds and last ALL DAY!
*If you are a professional and work on clients then obviously you would want to have a completely separate mixing container so that you don't cross contaminate anything but since I use these products only on myself its not an issues.
I do NOT recommend mixing the Cel Sealer and dry pigment on the back of your hand because since the Cel Sealer is liquid it will dry quickly on your skin and then you will end up wasting product.
This product is great for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It does not smudge, smear or run. Its not necessarily waterproof but pretty close if you aske me.
I really can't say enough about it other than remind myself to use it more. I actually had a subscriber ask me why I would ever need to buy any other liquid liner if I have the Cel Sealer and she's right. My only excuse was time. Not that it takes forever to mix but when I'm rushing in the morning I need as few steps as possible simply because I'm just NOT a morning person so the less thinking involved, the better LOL. It is true though, if you have lots of pigments/loose minerals and wish you could turn then into eye liner or simply want to get more use out of them then get your hands on some Kryolan Cel Sealer. A little goes a LONG way so 1 bottle will last you forever!
What the Kryolan site says:
"Cake Eye Liner Sealer is an innovative preparation created especially for the professional make-up artist to effectively help him or her provide perfect eye make-up.Cake Eye Liner Sealer seals the applied eye liner, enhances its durability and improves moisture resistance.The sealer is thinly applied over the eye liner after it has dried. This sealer preparation can, however, also be directly employed to line the eyelid: the brush is first wet with Cake Eye Liner Sealer and the moist brush is then used to apply Cake Eye Liner."

I have the same basic thing only it's by Smashbox. I always forget to use it. I now have tons more liqid liner and I really didn't need to buy any.
