MAC Beau quad

[jencurl]

Is there anything I can use to make the purple look lighter and more purple than greyish? I have never used paints, but someone suggested Mauvism. What will this do under Beau?TIA!

I think the fact that the base has the same color in it as the purple gives the purple pigments in the e/s-color more intensity...(Well I should try that with Canton Candy and Paradisco...)

Thank you! AM new to MAC paints and specktra!

Welcome to MAC paints AND Specktra then jencurl!

Using a paint under any shadow will help brighten or darken (depending on what your after) AND intensify the color. The added bonus is they won't budge a bit through the day!

Thank you both! I can tell I'm going to love this place. (I will..not my wallet though!). Can't wait to try some paints!

Or maybe you should try a e/s in the complementary color with it!
/me scratches her head and thinks about the complementary color of purple

Now it comes to my mind......yellow!!!!

really yellow and purple? mmm gonna try that soon for my FOTD!

Ahhh I tried yellow (Golden Lemon,.. Chrome Yellow,...Nylon) with the Beau quad,... I love it, it is beautiful but still kinda muddy gray,....as much as I hate to do it,.. that sucker is going back,....

You all are probably much more talented w/makeup than me. Currently I run from colors like yellow..even though I've seen some pics of other people who look great in bolder colors! Guess I need to get away from browns, etc and experiment!!

yellow is n't flattering alone, but when you wear it as a base color, and blend colors like blue and pink and ornage into it, it gives a great color effect!
heres a old FOTD i did that:
