One that I like a lot is Artifact with Sweet Sienna; it makes a light, dirty wine color that's just a little bit smokey. Not super flashy or exciting, but I love this one!

I don't have Moss Scape but I put pretty much anything warm toned over cash flow and it looks awesome. My favourites over Cash Flow: Goldmine e/s, Old Gold p/m, Melon p/m, Solar White e/s, Bronze e/s

Here's a recent one I've tried:
Pixel Paint (unfortunately d/c but I think Bare Study will work too) Smudged Violet e/s all over lid, Earthly Riches (silver side) outer crease, and Lightfall on brow bone.

heh I had the same make up application the other day and I loved it, I wasn't planning to buy any paint pot but eventually I changed my mind. now I want both the pigment blonde's gold and the paint pot constructivist.

Delft p/p with Sea and Sky MES on top really helps the blue stick and pop

Otherworldly p/p with Mutiny pigment makes a bright baby blue

Otherworldly p/p with Parfait Amour e/s makes a pretty turquoise/lavender effect

Rubenesque p/p with Amber Lights is a good bronzey look


I need ideas for Soft Ochre. I just got it but have no idea how to use it. It's a little too yellow to use as a regular base

I love this thread and want it to continue on forever! Seriously new uses for two of my very favorite MAC products! Heaven.

A while back there was a question about Greenstroke and I use it with anything green or blue/teal. It gets the job done. As for Soft Ochre, I use it most when Painterly is making things look pink. I am pretty fair and Painterly has a tendency to make things go pink but Soft Ochre since it is a yellow base does not. I get gold to really pop over this one or I use Uppity fluidline.

as a beginner in make up and a recent MAC enthusiast! - a question with paint pots - i just bought BARE STUDY paint pot yesterday and i was planning to use it as a eye shadow base.
do i apply it with a brush or with my fingertips?

I often apply with a brush and then blend it out with my fingers.
but generally, if i want the colour all over or i use my finger.
if it is a just on the lid or brow, a specific area, or a darker colour like blackground or delft i use a brush. 242, 252, 249.

I agree. Lighter colors are finger friendly but darker colors need a brush. I love the 217 for dark pp because it blows out the edges of color really well and doesn't leave harsh lines.
