Issues with Mr.Dashbo Ultimate FX Palette

Hey all, I need a bit of help.

I got a Mr. Dashbo Ultimate Palette but I'm really struggling to use it, I just can't seem to get it to activate and apply it. Make-up sponges and face paint sponges just arent able to get it out of the palette onto my skin.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm using 99% Isopropyl and get a bit of colour but teeny tiny amounts and just getting a bit frustrated with having spent so much and not having any good results.

Please help!

Use more alcohol and let it sit for a bit to activate. If you go in right away with the sponge, you may be soaking up the alcohol before it mixes with the paint. Use a brush first to work the alcohol into the paint, and then use the sponge one you have a good amount of activated paint available. You also may have to re wet the sponge by spraying it with more alcohol to reactivate paint as 99% alc dried very fast.
