Since we've been on the topic of highlights and great neutrals and whatnot, Painterly paint pot is my h/g so what would you girls suggest as a good neutral to go on top of it?

I wonder when we'll get to see swatches of the nail polishes (besides nocturnelle as that one's perm), I'm very excited!

But I want to try: Brule, Dazzlelight and Nylon as well

Vanilla is great, too!

I usually use Vanilla for more shimmery looks and Nylon for more matte looks on the lid, if that makes sense.

like tish said, shroom is great if you're fair to medium skinned. if you darker than nc40/nw40, not so much. this is where something like grain or era is your friend.

and a big sorry to you guys that like nylon. we don't touch it at my counter! we don't even look at it!

again, like tish said, i'm sure you doing nothing wrong.

at our counter, using nylon as a highlight is the equivalent of using boot black liner to draw on your brows or having the chola lipliner. its just wrong!!!

again, this is at our counter. each location how their own makeup don'ts, so please don't take offense to anything i've said. if it works for you, by all means work it! but we just don't even pick it up.

I have Era and I've had that eyeshadow for awhile and I haven't used it in awhile. It's a great highlight and a lid color.

I don't touch Nylon either, it's SO dang frosty! It's OVERKILL. And I LOVE frosts, but for some reason, it just looks SO wrong on my browbone.

I have MAD love for Solar White, Naked Lunch, and Ricepaper for highlight colors.

I agree with Erin, I just hate nylon as a highlighter...barely touch it as well. J bought it for me when we got together, 5 years ago and it still looks new.

Btw, I would love for you to touch my face with your brush!

i agree with the solar white love though! solar white is amazing as a highlight!

i also like the cream colour that came in the holiday 07 smokey eyes palette. it comes out very matte and very pigmented
smiles.gif
