how about a paint pot? you could get a neutral coloured one for all your starflsh shadows!

Alternately, you might try wearing a neutral Shadestick underneath. It's worth a try ...

Awesome tip!! I use TFSI and paint pot.

Not quite as crazy as the Lady herself, but I took it as a compliment anyhow. I haven't actually used Smoke & Diamonds yet! Shocking, right? But I hardly put on eye makeup, so it will take me some time to get to it. Now that I've mentioned it, I think I'm going to try to use it tomorrow (hopefully!).

I'm pretty sure you looked totally outrageous!! Do tell us how you did with S&D.

Saw S&D at my CCO and thought about getting another one but I hardly use it since I only use it if I'm going out at night. I also swatched Talent Pool e/s and I love the duochrome! I shall pick that up next weekend!

I agree too!!

I was counting they repromote it since I missed it, but they didn't.

 

[PinkBasset]

Wait what?! Talent Pool is a duochrome?

Let me guess, it flashes gold? Damn, now I want it!

 

[GlamQueen21]

^Yes, it has a green, turquoise duochrome when I swatched it.

 

[PinkBasset]

Even better! Sounds soooo pretty!

Yes, I want to lose my paintpot virginity soon. haha

 

[dreamer246]

Yay for the sudden display of affection for Talent Pool.

I don't own a paint pot yet, but I do have 2 s/s!

Do you apply p/p with fingers or a brush (if so, which brush)? I was thinking if I dippped my fingers into it, it'll be kinda unhygienic.

 

[Hypathya]

^ Hi Winnie!!
For Paint Pot, I use a concealer brush or a 217. If you want to dip your finger, then I suggest using some disinfectant gel right before.

I wear Lotusland on the lid today and Satellite Dreams in the crease!

 

[cocolicouss]

I think glamour check is the most gorgeous brown ever and smoke and diamonds is a classic I was so lucky to get it months after the collection was released

 

[nunu]

I second glamour check!!

I didn't get Glamour Check!

Neither the first nor the second time...

I wore Smoke & Diamonds yesterday, I think it's just an ok color though.

Maybe I'm too used to bright crazy colors so S&D looked kinda tame to me.

 

[PinkBasset]

I like Smoke&Diamonds when I put it all over my lid, then a bit liner smudged and mascara.There's all I need for a quick smoky eye. And I like it's subtle so I can wear it anytime.

It's also nice as a crease color with for example vanilla on the lid. But I know it is very neutral so it might be too subtle if you like very bright colours! Maybe if you pair it with some brights?

Yup I put it all over my lid too, that's how I wore it. I wanted to smoke it out with Carbon, but my mom was rushing me to get out of the house so I didn't have time to do that. I usually wear bright colors like purples and blues, so yeah this was kinda neutral and dull for me. I might try mixing it with brights next time though, thanks for the suggestion!
