Cream Colour Bases - do you use em?

[ClaireAvril]

I use the bronze CCB as a highlight i love it!

 

[infernalmachine]

wow thanks guys, i'm thinking pearl or shell might be good as a cheek highlighter and e/s base now, for my NC20 skin.

i knew they must be good for something!

I only have pearl...I like it for high lighting. I can't use it on my enitre lid as it creases too much for my liking, my lids are just too oily. I don't think I'd invest in any others though...

 

[Lapis]

if you had asked me yesterday I would have said I don't use it, lol because they crease like mad with me but this morning I tried 2 looks I used Kool on one eye and Slammin' on the other and neither have creased, I used udpp and a very light hand with the ccb's and my eyes look GREAT

I use Pearl occasionally as a highlighter colour. I generally don't tend to use it as an e/s base and it creases on me, but I do occasionally use Luna as it really grabs the colour and makes it so bright. I don't use Luna as a highlighter as I'm so pale anyway it'd make me look pure white! Virgin Isle is also good for covering undereye circles, very sparingly of course, covers up blue!

Im NC30 and I LOVE using improper copper as a blush!

 

[LatinaRose]

I've never tried one, but after seeing the Kim K vids, I want one to use under my blush. It fades so fast, so I'm hoping this will help. I think my lids are too oily for me to use them on my eyes.

I plan to buy the gorgeous Crushed Bourgainvilla shade in the Ungaro collex.

I use pearl as an e/s base sometimes.

i've used luna as a base and i don't really like it much unless i use udpp under it as well.

i really like to use it in the inner corner of my eye though- it widens my eye a bit. :}

Personaly, it made a crappy base.
It dulled down the colors. and creased within a few hours.

But I looove it on my cheeks.

I occasionally use Luna as an eyeshadow base if I've run out of Bare Canvas, but it usually creases on me. I thought I could also use it as a highlight colour on my cheeks but since I wear Studio Fix (powder) and am a bit useless, it never applies too well.

The only other CCB I own is Premeditated. I bought it to use as a base but found it far too messy and creasy. Now I can't think of a single use for it!

I like Pearl CCB as a cheek highlight.

 

[pianohno]

I love to use them under powder blush!

 

[LatinaRose]

I use Crushed Boob as a base for my blush.

 

[abbey_08]

i use crushed boob under fashion frenzy because i find it holds the colour more. i also use it very lightly under stark naked to make it pop. its lovely on the lips too. i want to try more but keep forgetting about them!

 

[MissResha]

i use improper copper as a base for my blush sometimes because my blush seems to just...disappear thruout the day.

Cream Color Base?

Hey all!

I was thinking about getting some cream color base for my blush because I heard it works really well but I also heard that it is pretty bad when it comes to a lip or eyeshadow base. I was wondering what all of your experiences were with it. Is it worth buy? How does it work for an eyeshadow base?

Re: Cream Color Base?

i only have pearl cream colour base and love it! it is great as a highlighter, under blusher and on lips. however when i have used it on my eyes over udpp it has caused my shadows to crease after about 5 hours (usually i'll wear stuff for 8 hours + and it still lasts!) it does create a slightly tacky base which is great for pigments but i wouldn't advise using a ccb for a base on your eyes unless you are only wearing make up for a short time period. all other areas of the face it works great though!

Re: Cream Color Base?

I have shell which I LOVE for a cheek/brow bone/face highlight, but using it as an eyeshadow base made my eyeshadow crease like crazy. On the brow bone i's fine though.
