I always use UDPP then a paint pot on top!

 

[KarlaKayM]

UDPP definately!

MAC paint pot in painterly.. is the best ever!! it blends softly under any shadow

also paint in bare canvas isnt bad either

 

[aLove4MakeUp]

I use Bare Escentuals PRIMETIME EYES..... this is the only eye primer i've ever tried. It works great!!! the only downside is the packaging. I can't ever tell if/when i'm running out

I love Paint Pot the most!

I used to love UDPP, now I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance + MAC Fawntastic CCB.

Must have brushes

Hi all,

So just wondering what everyones top five brushes are.. they do not have to be MAC, any brand any use.

My faves are the

MAC 239
MAC 217
MAC 182
MAC 109
Napolean angled contour brush ( medium sized contour i find the mac ones to big or to small)

Re: Must have brushes

Anyone had any experiance with other inglot brushes. I neeeeeeeeeeeeed another kabuki (LOL) and inglots is a lil cheaper,

Re: Must have brushes

I think Simplyenchantin has.. Wait for her

Re: Must have brushes

The inglot kabuki brush appears to be identical to the 182. I haven't bought it but I played with it in store. If you go in and ask them to, they'll use it on you etc and you can see for yourself. Aside from that I've bought an awesome blending brush from them and a large face powder brush that I use with loose and pressed powder and it works fine for me.. it was like $60 vs MAC large face brushes which are over $90 I think..

Re: Must have brushes

Just my two cents - cos I'm a budget girl - the new Manicare Artiste range found in Myer and Priceline is really affordable and have some really great brushes. I picked up their stippling brush - it is much smaller (by about half) the size of MACs 187 but I found it was really great at applying my liquid foundation with the stippling technique vs my Coastal Scents 187 dupe.

They are worth a look

Thanks for the rec, I get frustrated looiking at the threads for US stuff cos we don't have most of the brands they recommend as alt to MAC. I just picked up Gorgeous Cosmetics brush roll today so I'll be testing out all the bushes and will post some recs in the coming weeks.

As for MAC my faves are:-

239 - All over lid colouring
217 - Crease, outer V and pretty much most blending
242 - Good with cremes & paints for eyes
219 - My super smudger and to start up hard core crease play! Then blend with 217

168 - Blush & contour
275 - Eye highlights

Sorry I know it's 6!!
