I've used both this product and also Paula Dorf Transformer (basically the same stuff) with Trish McEvoy Eye Definer powders and they work great! I put just a drop on the back of my non-dominant hand and rub the bristles of my Trish McEvoy #50 angled eye liner brush into it to get it wet, then press and wiggle the brush into the powder and line my lids. I can get a very fine, very smooth, very well defined line right next to my lashes with this. Then I take some of the dry Eye Definer powder on a dry liner brush and go over the top of the line. This softens and widens it a tiny bit and really makes my lashes look fuller and thicker. Tip: When you use this type of product (or even water) with a powdered shadow or powdered eye liner, use the dampened brush only along the edge of the powder. Once you wet it, the powder changes consistency,, so by leaving the center of the powder pan dry, you always have the option of using the powder dry as well as wet! It's a tip I picked up many years ago from a makeup artist.

I'm not generally a big fan of shimmer powders, as they tend to look too "fake." But Trish's shimmer powder is subtle, and suitable for older complexions as well as younger ones. I use the bronze shade selectively to warm up my complexion a bit, and it's great!

Trish's glosses are truly beautiful and feel great on the lips. It's true that they don't have tremendous staying power, but if you fill in your lips with a lip pencil first, they'll last quite a bit longer (as with any gloss or lipstick). I use mine in the center of the lower lip only, on top of lipstick, to get a full, sexy pout. Her colors are divine!

I've tried dozens of mascaras, from cult fave drugstore brands to expensive, high-end, top-rated formulas, but this is the first and only one that truly is perfect for me! It goes on smoothly and easily, coats each lash individually and thoroughly, adds length and fullness, doesn't clump, isn't goopy, and doesn't stick lashes together even on the second coat. My lashes stay soft even after applying two coats! No flaking, no racoon eyes, easy to remove...what more could you possibly ask from a mascara??? My holy grail....found, at long last!

After many, many years of using Trish McEvoy's iconic #11 "press and wiggle" brush, I became a devoted convert to this very fine angled liner brush. It gives me perfect control and lets me get a fine link (or a thicker one, if I want) right up against my lash line, so my lashes look thicker and my eyes really pop! It works great with Trish's eye definer powders, either wet or dry (I use it both ways).

I LOVE the gorgeous colors of this eyeliner and also its versatility. It can be used either wet or dry. To use it wet, you can use either just water or a liquid made specifically for this purpose (I've been using Paula Dorf's "transformer" liquid). I like to apply it wet and then go over it dry. The only liner I've found that will let me achieve a perfectly even, thin line of color right up against the base of my lashes. Love it!

As the previous reviewer said, Trish McEvoy's brushes are a terrific investment. I've had some of my brushes for 20 years and they still are in perfect condition. It's worth spending the money up-front to get years and years of perfect makeup applications, especially since you may not have to replace them for decades! Trish uses only the best quality materials and her brushes are hand-cut to the ideal shapes for their individual purposes. Owning a Trish McEvoy brush will change your standard for makeup brushes!

I've been using this brush for nearly 20 years. It was the first brush that ever allowed me to get a perfect, thin line directly next to my lashes! You do have to use the correct "press and wiggle" technique, though, and use it with Trish's wonderful Eye Definer powdered liner.

Trish McEvoy's eye shadows may just be the best items in her wonderful makeup line! The colors are divine, classic/timeless, universally flattering. The powder glides on silky-smooth and even (I apply it with Trish's large laydown brush, which I love!). It's highly pigmented, yet you can get a sheer sweep of color easily if that's what you want. The sophisticated colors go together fabulously and blend like a dream. For those reviewers who complain it doesn't last all day, try applying it over Trish's Eye Base Essentials lid primer. LOVE these eye shadows, and I've been wearing them for probably 20 years!

I have fair skin and it's difficult to find a natural-looking, flattering blush. For women with skin like mine, this blush lives up to its name - perfect! I wear the Perfect 1 shade and love it. It's like me - only better.
