paint pots as a base.

[powderpaint]

today i used indianwood toped with casino on the inner lid and tempting on the outer lid and crease highlighted with shroom. 2 unknown men approached me today and said i looked really good. hmmmm....weee!!!!

I can't say enough about Paint Pots! I've recommended them to all of my friends.

I use Painterly from lash to brows DAILY. It matches with my natural lid color perfectly and makes the best base. Since I'm very fair-skinned I have visible veins in my eyelids and this covers them completely! Gone are the days of layering concealor to get the right coverage to hide them.

I especially love the fact that a tiny bit goes a long way, making it easy to layer them without having to worry about them creasing or fading. I've used Delft on top of Painterly and then covered those with four other shadows and I never had any problems at all.

It almost seems silly to call this my Holy Grail item, but.... If it LOOKS like a HG and it WORKS like a HG, then.... I guess it's my HG!

I just use it directly on the skin. One of the reasons that I like paint pot is that I can skip the primer. but my paint pot does crease on me eventually...like, after 5 hours, which is pretty lasting already!

I still use UDPP. It lasts for about 14 hours for me and never budges or smears. I love the paint pots. I want to get all of them.

 

[janwa09]

I have most of the colors except artifact, moss scape and groundwork....I used greenstroke under green smoky eyes and I love it..planning to use blackground as base for another smokey eye soon.

 

[macedout]

last yr i applied p/p with the small brush (white head, THAT they were orig promoting them with, similar in texture to lip brush) and didnt like it ...but last week i decided to try again and bought the 252 brush and it applies the p/p FANTAStiCLY!!!!!! yahhhoooo!

252 for p/p is a MUST

I was at the MAC counter tonight stocking up on cotton candy paint and didn't see FRESCO ROSE pot...for those of you who've tried both cotton candy and fresco rose...which one did you like best? Anyone have a picture with it on? Now I'm thinking that maybe I'll exchange a cotton candy for a fresco rose...Is it the same pretty soft pink?

same for me but with Soft Ochre p/p! love that stuff! =)

This is such a great thread. I really want all the paint pots but I lack the creativity on what to pair them with.

Thank goodness for all of your help

 

[Foxxydiva]

I currently apply with my fingers but I'll have to try using the 217 brush to see if it's easier to apply.

 

[Foxxydiva]

I use Groundwork allover but it creases on me.

 

[singer82]

Whats a good PP for purple/pink shadows? Green and blue?
the black one....im guessing thats good for smokey eyes?

I'm so glad I found this threat, because this is the best tip ever:

I bought Fresco Rose after I heard that it will be discontinued and I'm a real sucker when it comes to pinks. Until today I've been regretting buying Fresco Rose, because it doesn't look that good on me nor does it work that well under any of my e/s. Since I also have a sample of the Mauvement I decided to try this combination and it is gorgeous!

I'm so going to get a full sized jar of Mauvement from Fabulous Felines collection. Can't wait!

I have a few of them but my shadows still crease by mid-day. I have extremely oily lids and unfortunately I haven't found a shadow primer yet that can remedy this problem.

Have you tried Urban Decay Primer Potion under paint pots? I have very oily lids also and using UDPP under paint pot does make the difference.

I can't tell how happy I am about the tip of using FR under Mauvement pigment. I have now tried it under some other neutral colors and I'm in love. Satin Taupe and Naked Lunch both looks way better than over Painterly or Bare Study. Tomorrow I'll try it under some other neutral e/s.

 

[sunshine817]

have they discontinue greenstroke? rubenesque is my favorite!

i think so. i see it in my CCO all the time.

Quite Natural is BY FAR my FAVORITE paint pot! I literally wear it under every color!

 

[LMD84]

yes i'm pretty sure that greenstroke is dc'd. which is a shame because it's a lovely silvery green. it goes well as a base for guilded green pigment!

I haven't and sadly I gave my UD PP to my younger sister. My thinking was that layering all the products would make a creasy mess, but I'm willing to give it another go. Thanks for the tip!

Paintpots are great as bases, so are NYX shadowsticks. Haven't creased on me yet.
