I love the Kryolan Interfrenze line, but some colors cover worse than others. The silver is particularly bad, the bronze is absolutely amazing. I have never tried the actual metallics (Interfrenze is a pearlescent pigment that gives a metallic effect), as I don't like the Paradise metallics (too lumpy, can only be easily sponged, not brushed (I mean you can brush them and I have, but they don't have a good texture).
To cover them, you can use a sealer like Ben Nye Final Seal that you remove with a remover, but for most use, just mix them with mixing liquid (Mehron mixing liquid, Ben Nye AquaSet, etc) instead of water, then remove with soap and water.
