I was wondering how you apply a smooth coat of silver lustre dust to your fondant piece? Everytime I paint on the lustre it looks streaky, and the more I try to paint over it to get an even coat it seems to get worse.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Any help is appreciated 
I mix the lustre dust with enough clear vanilla extract to make it the consistency of slightly thinned nail polish.

Thanks I'm gonna try that!
I'm painting some bows I made and it seems to take away from the hard work that I put into making the bows when the coloring looks so horrible.
I'm so glad I got so many great tips from you guys Thank you guys for all your help.

I agree, about the consistency of nail polish. I've used luster dust a lot and have had the best luck with vodka. As the acohol starts to evaporate you can start to add a few drops back in to keep the consistency. A medicine dropper works well.

medicine dropper is a good idea 
now to go check my medicine cabinet 
Great advice. I gave up trying to paint with wet luster dust because I couldn't make it come out right. I put a lot of vodka in the dust ...and equal parts in me.
I ended up dry dusting it on with a soft brush then steaming the pieces (mostly flowers and leafs) briefly over the kettle. But of course, it the piece were already on the cake, I was out of luck... Thanks again for the tips.
