I think paint pots are great, but I do have one problem. My Rubenesque and Greenstroke are 1 year old and they're quite dried out. Is there any way i can prevent paint pots from drying or "un-dry" those two? I've read somewhere some girls store them upside down, maybe I have to try that.

^^^^ i store mine upside down so I can see the colours, but they aren't that old so I don't know if it stops them drying out or not.
I love bare study, its my 'I use it nearly everyday' paint pot.

i went paint pot crazy for a time and bought bare study, painterly, delft, greenstroke, moss scape, perky, rubenesque, fresco rose and rollickin. after a while i realized i didnt use a lot of them hardly ever so i sold/swapped delft, greenstroke, rubenesque, and moss scape (even though it's beautiful).
i find the lighter more neutral ones are more versatile, but that's just my opinion. i found delft and moss scape too dark to make them work for me, even as bases. but some other people totally rock them.
i recently also bought soft ochre.
i would say that bare study is a good one, and painterly or soft ochre depending on if you're pinker or more yellow.
ok, i've already typed way more than necessary. lol

I would definitely get either Painterly or Soft Ochre (depending on your skin tone). Painterly is more of a natural color with pink undertones. Soft Ochre is a natural color with yellow undertones. Then I would get Bare Study for days you want to wear more shimmer. You can really put any colors with those three. If you do a lot of darker colors, I would get Blackground also. It's great because you can put lots of darker/brighter colors over it and it really looks awesome.

painterly is my must have (neutral base)
other paintpots i really like are
rubenesque (perm)- as a base and alone
rollicking (fafi LE) - i love it under teals and blues
perky (fafi LE) - i love this one alone or with a lil shimmer (solar bits) on top
groundwork - great under neutrals and browns

Indianwood and Rubenesque are drastically different. Indianwood is a metallic bronze while Rubenesque is a peach with a golden shine. Plus, I find Rubenesque to be much more sheer than Indianwood. They're both fantastic. I adore woodwinked over Indianwood!

Girl Friendly is very pretty. The closest eyeshadow to its colour that I have is Neutral Pink (but girl friendly isn't as dark or something). Plus, it doesn't have any shimmer, which means it's matte friendly.

I've always kept mine stored upside down so I could read the labels, and I got my Moss Scape well over a year ago now and it's still as creamy as day one. For your ones that are currently kind of dried out, try using some mixing medium on your brush (or a mix of 3/4 water and 1/4 glycerin) when you use them and it should help considerably. :nod:

quite natural is a very nice base to use for brown shadows in my opinion. as far as a base for purple shadows i have used a black shadestick by Avon as a base for deep purples,greens and deep blues and have found this method to be amazing. Blackground p/p or Sharkskin shadestick should work depending on the texture of the product you like to work with.

Painterly is my must, it just works with my skin tone.
