No, they are not smooth at all. I used Perky and it was dry as hell. I also think Soft Ochre is the same. I was told by an MA to use Prep & Prime Eye. I have increased my eye cream when I use these. I use Clinique All About Eyes, but these paint pots are so dry that I switched to All About Eyes Rich. This is working better for me.

I have Cash Flow and Girl Friendly and I love them both.

I did a pink and grey smokey eye this weekend and I used Girl Friendly as a base. It came out great.

I've just jumped into the bandwagon(thank you africana eyes and twinkle_twinkle) and so far i am loving artifact. I have constructivist coming in the mail and in my wishlist i want indianwood, rubenesque and maybe moss scape.
they're great for bases!!

So far, I have Constructivist and Groundwork I like them both a lot. I had Indianwood, but it didn't seem to be the same once I got it home... the gold was pretty stark against my skin, and looked a lot like my Nars Palm Beach Multiple so I exchanged it for the aforementioned Groundwork. I'd eventually like Rubenesque as a sheerer, warmer alternative to Indianwood ( although, I really think I just got a bad pot). Next up for me are Blackground and Deft.

Is Cash Flow similar to indianwood or rubenesque? I don't want to buy it if it is

thanks


Also is Soft Ochre --women of color friendly? I am an NC 44

Have you been in DSW recently? You look hella familiar!

Cash Flow is very different than Indianwood or Rubenesque. Cash Flow is more of a burnished gold. It has a slightly old gold look to it. Indianwood is a very bright, rich gold. Rubenesque is a softer gold. It has mild pink tones.

Thanks.




Does anyone know about Soft Ochre or Quite Natural? How do they look on women of color (NC 44)?

I personally wouldn't advise you to go for Soft Ochre... too pale ( my daughter is nc 42-45, depending on various factors) and it would be a pasty looking. but I would advise you to go to a counter and play with it a bit. It's great as a base on someone a little lighter, though. Quite Natural could work for various purposes, though.

I'm C7/NC45 and I wear Soft Ochre all of the time. It is one of my favorite paint pots. I use it with my brown neutral looks. I would not wear it alone. It is quite pasty and beige looking on my eye initially. I would assume that some WOC would not care for it because it is pasty looking. I have lots of paint pots and this is the one I reach for most often as well as Perky and then Girl Friendly.

i had a makeover yesterday and the MA put girl friendly on my lids, but she used it as a base. it barely showed up on my skin. i'm an NC30 by the way.

 

[MIXEDSHAWTI18]

all the paintpots for the most part work well on all skin tones my fav is painterly because its a nude color that could be used as a base for any shadow

 

[neezer]

well i always use whatever paint pot to the color eyeshadow i am wearing...for just an natural base i use Quite Natural. but I have most of the Paint Pots except GreenSmoke/Stroke and some of the Fafi ones

^^I looked at some the other day but there is always so much that I want to see...

What I'm doing now is making a list of stuff to check out. That way when I go to the couter I won't be all scatted brained and I'll have an agenda. LOL.

Is there a thread on what paint pots/paints work best with what colors?

i bought Cash Flow the other day b-cuz it was so pretty in the pot but i have no idea how to wear it. Any suggestions anyone? I'm so new to eyeshadows. I'm learning.

 

[dominichulinda]

you know my all time fav. p/p is layin ' low..loves it!!!

 

[cocodivatime]

Anyone have any ideas for what to wear with Mosscape (sp?) as a base?

Its such a beautiful green but i have no idea what I'd ever pair with it to tone down the green

thanks
