The silver luster dust gives off a beautiful sheen. The colors are more prominent when wetting the dust versus a dry cover, but nice either way you choose to do your project. Don't be fooled by the small container; a little goes a very long way! If you choose to use this product In an airbrush machine, be aware that it may clog your needle if it's a small one. I premixed my dust with extract/vodka and put it into a squeeze bottle. This works pretty well because you can shake and mix the dust up each time you want to put some in the airbrush cup.
