No creasing on me, and I have mega oily lids and live in 100% humidity Florida

Will rinsing with water after you use the 217 be ok or does it need to be cleaned with brush cleaner after every use with paint pots?

Good question! At home, I just swirl my 217 over a baby wipe (can't live without these!) when I'm done. The paint pots don't get the brush all crunchy like the Fluidlines do.
Incidently, I do the baby wipe trick with my brushes after using Fluidline, too. Buys me a bit of time before having to wash, though I have 2 brushes (a 211 and a 266) that I dedicate just for Fluidlines 'cause they get so manky so quickly.

OK, re creasing: These do not crease if you build in light coats when you want to build up intensity. Proof: I wore a sort-of-mask made exclusively of Paint Pots for a promotion at the counter. The colors went over my smile lines in the corners of my eyes, and over my cheeks. At the end of a 9-hour day, the colors where all exactly where I put them, and the color intensity was the same, too.
Ladies: these are no transfer and no-smudge. I tried to smudge them for a few customers, and it didn't impact the design at all. (Each customer who saw me do that bought a Paint Pot.
)
Of course, I was truly won-over when they came off my face easily when I washed after work. And the black one didn't even stain my NW15 skin!

I just have to say that I am LOVIN' these. I've been playing with different combos and here are some I liked...
With Fresco Rose:
Pink Venus
Sushi Flower
Helium Pig.
Viz-A-Violet Pig.
Stars N Rockets
Vex
Cloudbound
Rite of Spring
With Artifact:
Beautyburst
B-Rich
Cranberry
Star Violet
Full Flame
Sketch
Agate
Revved Up Pig.
Club
Beauty Marked
With Delft:
Club
Metamorph
Steamy
Aquadisiac
Peridot
Big T
Parrot
Ether MES
With Bare Study:
Pretty much everything!
With Blackground:
Softwash Grey Pig.
Silver Ring
Ether
Beauty Marked
Electra
Freshwater
Using these along are great too. They blend so well together. I like to combine:
Delft + Artifact
Bare Study + Fresco Rose + Blackground
Fresco Rose + Delft
I also think these paint pots are the solution to the lustre e/s and chunkier pigments.
As for creasing...I haven't had any problems so far. I apply them with a synthetic haired brush, specifically my Japonesque foundation one, I then blend and try to even out with my ring finger.
Anywhos, I want all of these
. I'm glad they're perm so I can buy them gradually. Can't wait for the McQueen ones to roll in...I'm buying all of those for sure!

Thank you for posting the different combos. I gotta try them.
I use Smashbox's #4 or MAC's 249 or 242 to apply. Both work well in giving me a thin application.....And so far they haven't creased on me, either.
I love, love, love the paint pots!

Well, I do build lightly and I am still having a touch of creasing. Then again I have sometimes watery/allergy eyes,..so I guess it just depends. I like the colors and the whole in a pot concept,.. but not going to retire my regular paints,....which don't even budge when I have a wet eye days. Wish Rubenesque was a regular paint,.......this color is the shizz

What type of effect would applying these paint pots as a base create? Oh, btw, I was wondering if anyone has pictures of these paint pots applied on the eyes...would really love to see this, even though I take your word for them being amazing!

The effect is they intensify my eyeshadow where they appear true to color. The PPs also make application and blending a breeze as well as preventing creasing.
Also, there are plenty of examples in the MEMBER FOTD section where you can see the different ways people have used them as well as color combinations alone and with eyeshadows.

I had a makeover done at the MAC counter (which I almost never get to go to a MAC counter), and I had Delft, Greensmoke put on with the Steel colored technacolor pencil and it was gorgeous.
However, my eyes started to water a bit and the paint came right off. That was disappointing, but the other eye did not water as much and it stayed on better over there.
I did not buy any yet, but that made me wonder how well they will stay on me.
I LOVE the colors and texture so far though, but if they come off that easily, who cares...

Watery eyes do these paints in almost instantly. If my eyes do not water, I imagine they will stay put, but they came off really fast when my eyes watered.
FL last better, but LLL is the best as a base.
I can not use the tube paints- they burn my lids over time
