I used these as makeup, I was afraid it would be too much for my age, as I’m now 42 (wow where did the time go?!?) But it was ok, it looked amazing and DID NOT settle into my fine lines making me look even older like I feared. I bet it would be even better using a primer before using as makeup. However, the REAL REASON I got these multichromes was to use in crafts, and it works well for that use too! I have mixed into embossing enamel and patted onto UV resin coated beads and even used on finished polymer clay sculptures, it worked excellent for all those purposes and I bet it will for other crafting purposes! Love it, great price for the product as well. Love, thank you!
