[Eemaan]

Whats your favourite creme colour base and How to you use it for the best results?

Mines
naked pigment as a base
Bronze CCB over this with the 217 brush
and then shooting star MSF
any darker colour for the outer v and under eye eyeliner

Fuchsia Perfect - it makes the hottest creme blush.

 

[sexypuma]

improper copper.

I use it alone on my lids for a natural look and on my cheeks before using blush.

My favorite is Luna and it makes a fabulous eyeshadow/pigment base!

I've only got one (Shell) and I've pretty much stopped using it as it seems really oily on my skin - I used to use it as a cheek highlight and on my collarbones.... I have oily skin anyway but the CCD seems to really aggravate it and cause pimples if I use it on my face :-(

Luna....i use it as my eyeshadow base...and my eyeshadows retain their vibrancy for the whole day.

I know not a lot of people like this, but i like this a lot. It's my HG eyeshadow base

I love ccbs! There are so many I use, but these are my favorites:

Luna and Pearl as highlighters (and they work as bases, too).

Hush, Tint, and Sundrenched as cheek color.

And Slick is my favorite for use as an e/s. I find the way to best use it is to apply in very thin layers, carefully blotting with a tissue in between. That soaks up any moisture, and keeps it from creasing.

Yep, same here. I also use premeditated and virgin isle as a base for my cheeks for some blushes/MSF. And as an eyeshadow base I use improper copper, bronze, shell, and root. I put a thin layer all over my eye and lower lash line after applying UDPP. I have never had a problem in getting any of MAC's shadows to work for me by using CCBs.

I only have one which is Fushia perfect and I love it! It works really well as a base underneath almost any e/s color. To me, it makes everything so much brighter. I do want to expand my collection and try some other colors though! I usually apply it with a concealer brush and it goes on so smooth! HTH!

Hush - It makes a TERRRRRRRFIC eye base

- It also dubs perfect for a great eye highlighter! LOVE IT!

I like Fuchsia Perfect. Too bad its being discontinued

I really like to put it under Porcelain Pink MSF to make it show up more.

 

[Cdjax]

I only have Fabulush, but it is a beautiful cheek color.

 

[amoona]

I only have Hush and I use it as a eye base sometimes. Most of the time I use it on my cheeks as a highlighter or sometimes under my blush to help with staying power.

 

[ilovexnerdsx]

i only have pearl, but i want more. i use it as a highlighter on my cheeks, browbones and in the inner corner of my eyes

it also goes nicely under a lot of lipglasses.

 

[medusalox]

Premeditated CCB with violet pigment smudged into it makes a really amazing color. It's like hepcat eyeshadow x1000

 

[Vennie]

Shell! I use this as an e/s base, cheek highlighter and in the bow of my upper lip to accentuate it.

I also have and love Hush. This works well as a cream blush for me and e/s.

 

[aziza]

My favorite CCB is Bronze (NW45)....I love to use it on my cheeks. It gives a healthy sheen to my face. I also like to us it on my eyes for a really natural look. I've tried Improper Copper at my local counter but it just blended in with my skin tone

 

[labwom]

I love Kool and Luna and I use them almost everday as an e/s base.

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

Kool and Luna as well for me...i use Luna everyday it is one of the few MAC items i always hit the pan and need to replace.

 

[Eemaan]
