Re: Pain Pot application
I have also noticed that blackgroud has somewhat of a 'dryer' texture than
other paint pots.
try mixing in a nip of moisturiser (pref w/out spf) to it and then blend with
217. I find it helps blend alot easier and gives you more 'play time' to apply
you e/s with out the pp drying out on the lid.
remember, just a dabb'l do. you dont what a slippery mess of black paint haha
have fun!

Re: Pain Pot application
Thanks everyone this has been helpful - I have a 242 and 217 I'll try that
If not maybe fingers or moisturizer but still unsure about putting fingers in the pot

Re: Paint Pot application
Similar to MAC_Whore, I use the 242 to build the color (any Paints/Paint Pot) onto the middle of the lid then blend into the outer and inner corners using the 217.
Blackground in particular is a little more difficult to work with in my opinion, just because it's so wet and emollient. I first put Soft ochre on the lid and blend with the 242 and 217, then build Blackground on top of that. This improves the staying power, as well as helps it blend better and softens the intensity of the color. Hope that helps!

I've wondered this for ages but thought I was the only one who wondered about it. Looks like I'll be trying it out with a primer and a 217 brush.....many thanks because I was scared to ask.

Re: Fluidline Used Like a Paint Pot?
I use blacktrack like a paint pot all the time because I don't have a black base and when you use a black base, most eye shadows pop up sooo nice. Anyways, I don't use anything under it, it doesnt cause crease on me but you may need to use a base. You should give it a try and see what is best for you.. Also, I use 217 for application, it makes wonders

Re: Fluidline Used Like a Paint Pot?
You can use fluidlines as bases and they don't crease on me, but they don't hold the shadow that well and they can be a pain to get off your eyelids. I don't do it much, but you certainly can!

I have decided that my blacktrack fluidline will do and I don't need to rush out and get blackground pp. Yay for saving money and using up products!
