Re: How do you use coloured paintpots or other bases?
yep, i too like using the coloured ones to go with similar coloured shadows
it helps the shadows which don't have as good colour payoff
also if you have a duo chrome shadow - like pink pearl pigment or old gold - i like to use a darker pp like delft because it completely transforms the colour!!!

Oooh I second that. I love to use Blacktrack f/l as an all over base on the lid then put Blue Brown over the top
. Much prefer blacktrack as a black base than Blackground p/p as its very blackblack & doesn't budge for england.

Re: How do you use coloured paintpots or other bases?
I was wondering the same thing.
I've been using Painterly for a while and before I bought it I decided that I would use it all before I bought another. Then I saw how much was in it! It is gonna take a while to finish that puppy. Has anyone ever finished a paintpot that you use for personal use?
I was wondering the same thing.

Does anyone have a list of all the paintpots MAC has released?
I have totally fallen in love with these and am trying to gather as many as I can.
Thanks!

I usually wear paint pots alone or with colors that aren't as similar to the paint pot colors (e.g. fresco rose w/ a green on top) to get a different effect. There really aren't many rules when it comes to them. You are the artist and your face/eyes are the canvas! If you can't find a MAC color you like, try Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows. They are quite similar and tend to have a smoother application.
I do want to address one important thing though. Adding any type of moisture might bring the paint pot 'back to life' but it also will bring on bacteria and give you a possible eye infection. Not only that, but dipping the brush straight into the pot then eye then pot then eye (you get the idea) will also introduce bacteria into the product and decrease shelf life. Anything that already has moisture is a breeding ground for nasty bacteria -- which is one reason mascaras should be thrown out so frequently.

Will paintpots make a REAL difference?
Since I'm on a student budget, I can't afford 'extra's', but when it really makes a difference, then it's a 'need', haha!
So please tell me that your eyeshadow on top will look much better?

From what I remember of a CCB (cream color base) I had for a short while, CCBs are thinner in consistency than paint pots. Conversely, paint pots are thicker and creamier than the more sheer CCBs. This also may differ between shades of CCB or paint pot, but that is my overall experience.
HTH!

I find cream color base thicker than Paintpots & harder to blend

I've never had a PP or FL dry up on me. I do keep then in a cool dry place and the lids are always tight when not in use. I also flip them over and that has been working to keep them moist and creamy. My Blitz and Glitz is just starting to get a little dry, but it is also very low, almost empty and the one I have had the longest. I do love the way they work for changing up your shadows when you use them as bases. I used Frostlite FL with my new Sugarpill Cosmetics Tako and Dolly??(pink one) es and it was beautiful. I used these before I used UDPP and now I am back to using them more. Benefit Creaseless Eyeshadows work just as well for me. I have purchased some of these for my kit along with MAC PPs.

adore pp's but have to admit i use fluidlines just as often for bases & find blacktrack to be the very best value. of my pp's i get the most use out of fresco rose and indianwood. delft is the best kept secret & the most standout of the line, very hopeful they will repromote it someday.
