Paint Pots for Women of Color

[Leilani78]

I am NW 40 and i bought Bare Canvas. I love to use it as a highlight and as a base! When I was testing out, I tried Reubenesque, Fresco Rose, Indianwood and Groundwork. Those were all pretty colors, except groundwork didn't look very natural on my lids.
It kinda creases on me when I don't use UDPP under it. When I do use it, it lasts all day long, even when I do not use any shadows over it.

I only have rubensque so far and I like the color, but I find that it creases without UDPP. I tried it once without the primer and it was crease city, but today I used the UDPP, rubenesque as a base and then covered with gold stroke pigment and it looks the same now as I applied it this morning.

I only own bamboom, I dont have a major MAC haul but its coming along.... I love bamboom but sometimes I find that you can see the golden shimmer from it thru some of my e/s. I dont know if its because Im not putting on enough e/s or what but overall i love it.

I should try more colors with other e/s perhaps it will make it more vibrant.

That's interesting. I have never had that problem. I used to wear Bamboom with Bisque over it as my go to look. I could never see it through the shadow. But, I wonder if that's because Bamboom blends into my skin really well and is only a shade or two off of my complexion.

Im planning on buying that one! Oooo and thanks for the description! I might try that one out.

i got painterly, it looks nude on my lids and it dfinately makes my eyeshadows POP!

I got Blackground a few weeks ago and it looks great as a base for so many shadows. Sure it's black, but it makes anything with pearl, shimmer or iridescence pop.

So very true!! An A-A MUA talked me into getting it.....I was very reluctant until she swatched my hand w/it and put several different color es over it.....I fell in love....To me it gives the es more depth and dimension. I love it! At the launch of the collection I bought just about every color and this is the one I use the most!

Another benefit to me is that I don't have to use UDPP anymore. I used to use UDPP and a CCB or a paint as a base. I'm so happy to cut out one add'l step from my MU routine. With the PPs I have no creasing even after a 14-hour day. This is the only product I've used where my make-up stays put and fresh all day long.

I am NC45, and love Fresco Rose.

It helps my pinks, purples, pinky browns, and even gives golds a cool effect!

I want to get Blackground next, everyone seems to love it!

I am C40 and I just got Rubenesque and Indianwood plus Bamboom paint in the mail today and I am

Loving

them all. They go great with my complexion. I bought them to use as a base, especially under mineral eyeshadows, but they would be great to wear alone on days when I am in a rush.

I bought Cash Flow. I love it! I am really into antique gold shades right now so this was right up my alley. I layed Bold As Gold from the Fafi Eyes 2 quad over it and it turned out well. I liked Layin Low and Girl Friendly. They are cream formulas so they have a matte finish. It's great for those times when you need a nice, opaque base for your color. I also like Nice Vice. I think it would be a great base for purples, especially purples with a duochrome.

i used perky paint pot under pink venus when i did my video tut, i love paint pots in general tho. as sheer as the shadows are with this collection youre definitely gonna need either a paintpot or shadestick to make em pop!

 

[shoppinglover]

I purchased Cash Flow...used it today with Painterly p.p../black liner/mascara...LOVE IT! makes a very nice combo!

I wore Perky paint pot yesterday with All That Glitters, Falling Star, Honesty, Sketch and Print. The look was beautiful, but my Perky was somewhat dry. I'm on the fence with this one. I need something smooth and creamy like my paints.

 

[imperfectbeauty]

cash flow, nice vice and rollickin really stood out for me. if your not afraid of color def go for the rollickin as well as if you do turquoise or aqua colored looks. if you like to stay safe cash flow and nice vice are pretty good as are the others some others mentioned. for some reason i can't pull off light to medium pinks. i had my friend do a pink look on me using perky and it just didn't work. in the end she used cash flow paint pot with coppering and post haste eyeshadows which looked gorgeous.

That's so funny because i first tried painterly when it was a paint and it looked great on me... i no longer use it but it was good to me back then

i bought artifact and hated it. it made me look like i had a black eye. i wear nc50 btw. i have had my eye on rubenesque and delft but hadn't had a chance to try them on yet. i think i might go to the counter today and try them on since y'all seem to like them so much. i just use a concealer under my shadows.

 

[Abhayah15]

am i the only one that thinks perky p/p doesnt apply smooth at all? do you ladies have a problem with any of the other fafi p/p or is it just me?
