My first time buying Annabelle liner and I bought the metallic Teal and White shades.

I find they are really hard to apply. They do not want to go on my eyes. I sharpened them both, tried again with no luck. I ended up googling it, and I wasn't the first person to have this problem. The website I found indicated that you cannot have any moisture on the lid at all, so if you apply a cream primer to wait for it to really dry, apply a neutral shade of eye-shadow and try again or skip the primer. It also suggested to heat the tip up under a flame for a few seconds. This finally worked for me. I skipped the primer, applied light shadow and used a lighter to run the pencil tip under the flame. The liner glided on with ease, almost like a cream and the Teal color is a brilliant green that makes my blue eye pop! I really like these liners now and am glad I googled instead of either giving them away or tossing them out.
