Re: Calling all tan, caramel & chocolate girls...........
I just bought my first true white. I was going to get Gesso but I decided on Crystal Avalanche. Its frosty. Gesso was just stark white. I thought Crystal Avalanche would be more versatile. Just my opinion. I guess I'll see.....


Other suggestions that I have seen on women of color are:
Nylon
Modest Tone (LE)
Daisychain
Vanilla

Yup. how could I forget Blanc Type? This one is just like Vanilla in that I only need a teeny tiny amount. I think they will last forever

Re: Calling all tan, caramel & chocolate girls...........
I have never been able to find an eyeshadow that gives me that true white look, but if you can get your hands on some, Pure White Pigment is definately the way to go.

Re: Calling all tan, caramel & chocolate girls...........
Do you really find that Gesso looks good on our skin tone? (I guess this isn't directed at you specifically as many others have answered the same.)

I keep wanting to get it, but I've been told (and will admit)...I think it's a bit chalky. I have Crystal Avalanche (which I love) but would like a matte (or close to matte) white colour....

None of the MAs I've ever been to have recommended any white...
