Rub the wet eyeliner brush across the corner of your powder eyeshadow. You want to only use a small corner of the powder eyeshadow so that you will still be able to use it later as eyeshadow.

Tips & Warnings
You can use this same technique to use your powder eyeshadow as eyeliner for your bottom eye lids as well. Experiment with all the fun colors of eyeshadow that is out there to make your own unique eyeliners.
Be careful not to wet the entire container of powder eyeshadow. This will ruin it for use as an eyeshadow. If the container is small, have 2 of them. One for use as eyeshadow and the other for eyeliner.

It works brilliantly with just black and it looks a lot neater than liquid or pencil liner. Thanks. -
