I attempted to use the “Screwdriver” (matte yellow) colour from Sleek’s Curacao palette.  The outcome was a bit of a womp, womp :/ anyway, but I thought I would make it a teachable moment. While the colour swatched just fine over several bases, the colour was not cooperating on my lids. I tried a golden base (meh) then settled on a white one, which didn’t fare that much better. I even tried three different brushes. Ugh. If any of you have any tricks to make this colour work, do let me know.
