I absolutely love CCB's - they make great bases. However, I don't have problems with them creasing.

Hi Elegant
How is it that they don't crease on you? What's your secret? Do you use any other base?

yah, they do smudge a lot. but it works just fine if i use a thin layer over udpp or tfsi and layer eyeshadow/pigments on top. oh, and reflects glitters sticks to ccbs quite nicely too

I want a CCB to put under blushes but I want one that will virtually match my skin tone, so I can use it with everything. I thought Root but is too dark and kinda of shimmery.
The only thing I want from this collection is the greasepaint, everything else is not a must for me but very pretty indeed.

i sometimes use pearl ccb on my eyes. and unless i use udpp it does indeed crease. however with udpp it's fine. seems to work better with pigments though. not sure sure!

Hey Hun!
Well, first of all, my skin is more on the dry side - not oily, so that helps. I use Bare Escentuals multi-tasking mineral powder in Bisque - which I use under my eyes & over my lids ( I layer my under eye concealer over it). It not only holds the eye color, but retains the natural color of the eye makeup & it covers redness to perfection!
I LOVE CCB Root!

they won't be dupes, but you can definately where bing or kirsch in its place. besides, night violet is a repromote, so i guess its a dupe of itself.

the "intense black" with both style black and dsquared2 is the exact same one, however, it isn't solid black. it does have purple shimmer to it as you saw with my and bunnyx3's swatches.

Anybody in the know who can clear this up for us?

Are there dupes for Night Violet l/s? What about NYX Violet Ray?
Quote:
on me night violet is a bit darker than violet ray (judging by the pic). and of course night violet is practically matte.
