You can dry dust it on. When you do wet it is a harsher look not realalistic.

It doesn't want to stick to the chocolate dry! Any tips?

Chocolate is fat based, and water wont stick to fat. What dusts are you using?

I don't know why dry dusting wouldn't work. You're just using a small paint brush and putting a little on, right? I've never had this problem...I don't know what else to suggest, sorry icon_sad.gif

Yep, juts using a small brush and a little at a time. The luster dusts are working, but the petal dusts aren't. Stinks that I just bought 5 jars of petal dusts at $3.35 a jar, and they aren't working!

oh, maybe it is the petal dust? I have never used it...just luster dust. do you have any luster...would that fit your purpose?
