so how is DFX used?

I was just posting in another thread about my DFX getting goopy. I have heard plenty of people say that DFX is used alot differently than say snaz. How ARE You supposed to use DFX? I tend to use alot less water with DFX but otherwise not sure..

Can someone enlighten the newbie? I want to get more DFX!

Well.... you don't need to add water to DFX to get a gooey spot (which is how I work with Snaz and Kryolan, etc) as it does NOT like too much water. It gets gummy and sticky.

Just a drop of water right before I load my sponge or brush. And it doesn't blend as well on the skin (not like the other brands) so the best way to "blend" is stippling and layering...

However, I'm not using it for bases as I find it too drying.

I made you the worst video ever on youtube to show you how to use it... at least I hope this is what you were asking!! LOL... It is uploading now and should be all set in like 5 minutes...

here you gooooooooooo lol.........

omg thank you for the youtube vid! you are the best you guys! lol. I think I am using WAY too much water to wet the cake initially. I will try again with the black this afternoon and see what I get.

your welcome...

I love the sound effects!

I mist mine w/ a spray bottle(not too much water).

Suzy, those sound effects are great! You should do that when painting kids. They'd be totally mesmerized.

I know I loved the sound effects too!

HI SUZY,

When I grow up, I want to be JUST like you ... Pssshhhewwwww!!!!! Pssshhhewwwww!!!!! Pssshhhewwwww!!!!!

Well done Suzy.
I still don't have the courage to do a video - maybe I'll do a silent one, my Aussie accent tends to make people laugh.
