cream colour bases?

[kimmy]

how do you all apply yours? i know most people use a brush...if you do, what number brush do you use? and do you apply only a thin coat or do you lather it on?

sorry so many questions haha. ccbs are my new fascination...

I got one of the spatulas from my counter so I usually use that to scrape a thin layer off the ccb (that way it stays smooth and doesn't get gunky brush marks and residue). Then I breathe on it to warm it up a bit, and apply it with my 239 brush. I only use a thin, thin layer and only use it over paints when I use it on my eye, so that it doesn't crease horribly. Usually I'm lazy, and apply my ccb with my fingers - I mostly use Shell so I can be sloppier since it's not bright. Hope this helps

I use my only CCB (Too Darling -beau collection) on my cheeks, I apply it with my fingers. Its such a nice barely there pink shade that it really holds my blush on.

I use the 217 for my eyes.

 

[User34]

eh,,,I have always used my fingers to apply it to my eyes. =/
Guess I need a brush for this too!???

 

[angela]

lightly w/ 217! too much will cause creasing =]

Fuchsia Perfect to the apples of the cheeks with my finger, then polished in. Best rosy blush there is.

honestly, i just apply it with my finger. and i apply it very very lightly. i had to learn the hard way that it creases if you put too much. i used to hate ccbs cuz i thought that they creased...til i realized what i was doing wrong. now i LOVE them!!!


........maybe one day i'll try using a brush to apply my paints and ccbs. but til then...fingerssssss!

 

[aziajs]

I also use my fingers to apply a very thin layer to my eyes, I apply a thicker layer to my cheeks.

 

[mango88]

i never thought of applying fushia perfect to my cheeks cos i hate it on my eyelids! thanks girls

I use a 252 to pat a thin layer over my lid.l I never sweep because it tends to smear the undercoating of Paint that I already applied.

I have to use my fingers for CCBs. It's easier to control the application, the brush is always a little too much.

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

i always use my fingers for these...i actually like them and i know i'm not with the majority in that but oh well, i've never had a problem with them.

 

[lindsay]

i've never tried using my fingers... i love applying all my bases (paints, CCBs) with a 242 brush.

For eyes:
After I apply paint (either with my finger or the 242 brush) I then use my finger and lightly pat my chosen CCB where desired. I never use a brush b/c you really don't need too much CCB in my opinion. A thin layer is enough to grab alot of color!!

For cheeks:
I use my finger to apply the color to the apples of my cheeks, then use my BE Heavenly Face brush to buff it out. You could use the MAC 180 if you had a spare one or didn't care about getting color on it...

Don't you just love CCB's!! They are the best!!

 

[Chelly]

i have a mini 242 that came with the 4 paints in that boxy thing. its a GREAT brush for things like this

 

[bellezzadolce]

I usually apply a thin layer of CCB with 242/252
