Cream Colour Bases - do you use em?

Re: Cream Color Base?

I love CCBs. I only have 2 -- Crushed Bougainvillea & Fawntastic. I use the Crushed B mainly as a cheek stain and sometimes as a lippie. I use Fawntastic as a highlighter and as a base for MSFs. I have oily eyelids so using CCBs as an eyeshadow base is a no-no for me. It'll slide right off of my face!

Re: Cream Color Base?

I find that CCBs are okay bases, they work in a pinch. A lot of the problem with them is that if you can use it as a blush, it is probably not eye-safe. I find that it works well for lips though. It is okay for a blush but they can be hard to work with if you don't warm them up first.

Shell or Pearl

I use them to allow my highlights or blushes stay on all day.

I always use my fingers so it warms up first

I love CCP Hush and Pearl as my highlighter on the cheeks! Pearl in winter ands Hush in spring/summer.

I only have a couple. But pearl is the one I reach for most often.

I use it as a cheek highlight but I have to pile it on - otherwise it wont show up on my skintone. I dont find them overly greasy but I need to use my fingers to apply and blend. Any brush suggestions here guys?

Also, I feel they take a little extra work to blend. I dont really mind that though, cause theyre lovely on!

I use them mainly for cheek color/highlight and on my eyes for a inner V & brow bone highlight on days where I don't use eyeshadow just for a little bit of freshness!

I've only got one CCB in Luna. I use it sometimes to highlight.

I use hush as a highlight, it's gorgeous! So creamy and easily blendable.

I love them and I think it's a shame MAC doesn't seem to value them more. Most of the best colours are Pro these days. I particularly love Nude and Tint for a shimmer-free cream highlight/contour effect.

I just bought Fawntastic today to use as an eyeshadow base and it creased on me
