POLL: Favorite MAC Eye Shadow Base?

[Indian Barbie]

Prep and Prime eye for me isn't much good, I have to put paint over it and then it works well...

One time I put on p+p, a tiny amount of paint on top and CCB on top of that AND THEN applied makeup and the eyeshadow stuck to it beautifully all day. But my liquidlast liner didn't seem to agree to it much.

i ALWAYS use bare canvas as a base for eyeshadows and stuff
i swear by it lol xx

My favorite base has always been Bare Canvas Paint!

It always works well with anything I do. I've tried the shadesticks, ccb's, etc... but I always end up going back to the paints!

Prep+Prime eye technically isn't a base for your shadows. It's meant to be used as a primer to 'prep' the eyes for the actual base [ccb, paint, etc.] I know people with oily lids don't like it b/c it creases too easily on them. Personally, I like it b/c I think my shadestick goes on better when I use prep+prime eye. I love all of MAC's bases. I recently bought Benefit FY Eye & I'm in love!

MAC products have never worked for me as an e/s base. I like UD Primer Potion.

shadesticks !

 

[crazy13eautiful]

I use CCB, Fawntastic & Pearl

I looooooooooooooove UD Primer Potion. Absolutely no creasing and makes my eyeshadow look brand new all day

I'm still tempted to try Bare Canvas paint, though, and see what the hype is about

i just bought the Beige-ing Shadestick ... but it doesnt seem to be working for me and i dont know whhhhy

i really really really want to try UDPP but australia doesnt have UD which totally sucks! ahdkfhaldfjas :'(

I find that for darker looks, unless I use Sharkskin shadestick, the color fades out way faster than it would with paint.

But, with paint the colors aren't as vibrant.

Honestly, UDPP is the only base I've used so far that gives you vibrant color AND helps your eyeshadow last longer. Too bad it makes blending slightly more of a pain in the arse.

I use paints and CCB's.

I use mostly Bare Canvas paint and Artdeco e/s base. I prefer this last one when I want more vibrant colors, this product is fabulous but it makes blending a little trickier.

Some paints are really great as a base, like Bare Canvas and Flammable, and others like Pixel just suck. E/s doesn't stick to eyelid when I use Pixel as a base, it's too dry. For the same reason, I never liked Fluidlines used as bases. They are way too dry for it and e/s just falls when I try to apply. I simply don't understand how some people can actually manage to use fluidlines as base!

I also didn't like the shadesticks because of the tugging, but if you don't mind it, they are prety great.

I used to wear Agnes b. "Eye Color Base" which is a great product since it doesn't alter the e/ colours.
Now, I'm a shadestick addict and I think I couldn't live without the Beige-ing one! I also have Sharkskin s/s which is nice for smokey eyes and I bought Sea Me 3 days ago to use with my Blue-Brown pigment and it's great: it really brings out the blue & green undertones of the pigment, I'm so happy with that purchase

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

Love love love Bare Canvas and Structural Brown paints. I also love to use Bare Canvas under a lipstick if I really really want a nude/low key lip.

I like to use Fluidline as bases as well when I wear Fertile (Macroviolet) and Black Tied (Blacktrack).

I´m very happy with my Urban Decay Primer Potion. It lasts the whole day! I love it!
