paint pots as a base.

I used Fresco Rose under Mauvement pigment today &I looooove it. It turned into this beautiful shimmery plummy-pink shade. Its pretty much the color I WANTED Mauvement to be

Try it, its beautiful!

I got Greenstroke today. I swatched it on my hand next to Club, and that looked like it could be a great combo. Greenstroke on lid and Club in crease.
It also seemed to go very well with Ether MES, but that's no surprise I gather.

I'm so bummed because I really wanted these to be a perfect base because they are so damn pretty. *Curse my oily lids!*

 

[ellemarie]

I only have Painterly for now and I love it as a base. I apply it with the green brush I got from the Catherine D. collection. Now I really want Delft!

Probably dumb question but what is Stray Grey? Haven't seen that one.

OK, I did just find that Stray Grey and Stringalong are LE. Can someone give me a good color description of them? Also are they frost, satin, or cream? Any swatches? Thanks big time

I think there are swatches in the swatch forum.

Stray Gray - Grey mauve (cream)
Stringalong - Warm mid-tone brown (cream)

I finally bought a 217 for my paint pots, and am falling in love with it! I'm now thinking about one more 217 for my other powder eye shadow. Thank you for the info.

I bought Bare Study last week, and I love it! I've worn it with eyeshadows, took a 4hr nap, and my eyeshadow still looked great! Mind you, I tend to snuggle my face in a pillow, LOL.

I wore Bare Study on my eyelid, eyeliner, and mascara to go work out... Even after running in the heat NOTHING smeared, and my eyes looked fresh + pretty.

I love it! Eventually I'll get all of them, but for now Bare Study works great for me.

I got Painterly and Bare Study,

Painterly as a base. I actually bought an artist's synthetic brush for the purpose, from a brand called Lucas, size 10. It's soft and drop-formed, just like 217, but it doesn't absorbe anything, being synthetic. And it's at least half the price!
Being "older" (I reached the unspeakable age of 38

) ,I found that the paintpot smoothes the eyelid out, and also makes the eyeshadow smoother! Bare Study is a great highlighter, I use it on the inner corners of my eyes, and it stays there all day!
Reading about all your buys, and being so satisfied, makes me want to get more! at least fresco rose...

I can't wait to get to my counter to play with these...I never bought Paints because of the tubes and I knew that they would ooze and I would lose product, but these look great! Thanks for all the good ideas!

 

[Sprout]

I love that they're perm and I especially love Bare Study with pretty much anything on top of it. Makes colors pop! Best product from MAC since MSF's.

Yes! I'm getting close to 38 myself and love how these smooth out the eyelids! I don't have a huge eyelid problem yet, but I think I look a touch more refreshed when using these. I love these and can't wait for more colors!

 

[KAIA]

[shadowaddict]

Maybe you guys have already stated this so sorry if I missed it. But do you guys still use your UDPP with p/pots? I didn't know if it was still need. I just got my p/p in the mail today and haven't tried them. Thank you.

 

[silverbelle282]

yeah, i was in love with paint pots from the start, but now after reading this thread... i need them all! i have groundwork, and now my sublime nature paint is being neglected- oh well, rubenesque, and fresco rose. and i have been eyeing bare study- i thought i was too dark for it but why not? and delft has caught my eye also. thank god these are permanent, because i'm currently unemployed!

. . . anywho, i feel that my growing love for these will cause me to neglect my eyeshadows. i love to wear them alone for a quick easy look

 

[shadowaddict]

I'm really excited to try my Bare Study and Delft tomorrow. I wasn't sure about Bare Study because it seemed so basic but so many people have raved about it I had to get it. So I hope I'm as pleased also.

 

[Ramona6]

I bought my first paint pot today. I got Indianwood. It is such a pretty color. I applied it with the 242 brush and added some bronze eyeshadow to the crease and it looked amazing. I definitely recommend that color!!

 

[thelove4tequila]

Am I the *only* person that these crease horribly on? I'm still sad about it...

 

[Lisa J]

I have found that they crease more than the paints for sure, unfortunately

I still love the paint pots though, the colours are just gorgeous. I've taken to applying my bare canvas paint before the paint pot if I really want to prevent creasing.
