I find this is true for all paints and paint pots with shimmer in them. They always crease too easily on me, so I'm like, what's the point?? This is why I prefer the matte shades.

Groundwork for neutrals, pinkish looks, purples (and blues, before I procured Delft) Constructivist under greens and browns Rubenesque, I haven't used for a look yet, but I suppose I'll use it for greens, golden and bronze-y looks, and some pinks. I have to get Blackground now. HAVE to. nw45-47 btw |

I gave Perky paint pot another try today and it worked. I used it as a base on the lid with expensive pink on top. BEAUTIFUL!!
I'm glad that I didnt return this the other day. I guess its all about what you pair it with.

I will give it one more try and if I still hate it ---its going back or I'm gonna swap it out. it was a very pale weird coral on my eyes that just didnt work for me |

I use UDPP under everything so creasing is never an issue and so I use Paint Pots to pop the shade I wear over it. HeavenLeiBlu, have you tried using a primer under your PP?

I haven't; mostly because Constructivist and Groundwork ARE my primers! I've only noticed this with Delft, and I can tell it'll be an issue with Rubenesque, because the texture is the same. Nice Vice seems to prime and hold up as sturdily as the first two. I guess I'm gonna have to cave and do that though because I'm a quick and dirty kinda girl and too impatient to be meticulous all the time, but I love Delft too much. Blues are my favorite color, hence the username, LOL.

oh no! I just picked up rubenesque yesterday. I have very oily lids and I wanted something that would not be too creamy. I will have to use UDPP under it then
I I want to get bare study...indianwood also looked really nice

Yeah, I mean I have to say that I used Rubenesque as a base a few days ago w/o incident, but I used it VERY sparingly w/a brush. If your lids are oily, definitely use a primer.
Indianwood is VERY pretty, but it's a very strong and BOLD gold, and being that one of my NARS multiples is almost an exact dupe of it, I took it back because it's bolder than I'd ever use on a frequent basis, and I'd never use it up, since I have a sub for it. So if you're feening for a strong gold, DEFINITELY get it. It's gorgeous.

I have to add Layin Low even though its LE. Its the perfect color for neutral, brown, or any shade. It matches our skin tone and its matte. Perfect p/p!

its a rare find i hear...so I am eager to try it if it will look good on me.
Anyone else have this one?

Ok, I just started getting into paint pots since maybe 2 weeks ago, and all I can say is, "Where have you been all my life?!"
I want almost all of them, seriously. And I never thought I would retire my shadesticks, but that's what's happening right now (and I just really got into those earlier this year lol).
So far I have:
Groundwork
Fresco Rose
Indianwood
Constructivist
Still trying to figure out which colors work best with which e/s, but I love them all. Next on my list are Delft, Mosscape, Artifact and Blackground...I may sneak away this weekend to pick them up, lol.
If it wasn't for Indianwood, I seriously would have thrown away Woodwinked, but now I like it (just not all over my eyelid, but that's another post haha)
Yay for Paint Pots!!

I just recently purchased my 1st pp and its in Quite Natural... I like the color. Its darker than my skin so I have to really blend it because I only want it as a base but I do like it. I also got a CCB in Mid-Tone Sepia and I LOVE the CCB.

You, my dear, are in trouble. You can forget it now. You have discovered paint pots. I swore I wasn't going to get into these, and you sound exactly like I did. I've got 8 of them now. Moss Scape deserves a look, also.
