Shadestick help

[mspixieears]

Haven't used UD PP but can vouch for paints. Also, fluidliners, just used one yesterday - my e/s creased on me...after 8-9 hours. I'd say it put up a good fight!

Shadesticks creased on me, so if you have tendency to get oily eyelids, they might not do so well as a base.

LOVE my pink corture shadstick...will be getting more ASAP!
never tried the UD PP though, i dont think we have UD in Australia...

I the most oiliest eyelids known to man!! I think I might have found my answer - UD PP as a base, then a shadestick, followed by shadow. I'm hoping that it works.

I use MAC paint in bare canvas and cream color base in fawntastic together. The paint is a good base and keeps things from creasing, while the cream color base is moist so eyeshadow really sticks to it and you can pack alot on.
Paint then Cream Color and my eyes are awesome all day!!

Good Luck!!

My favorite is the Prep & Prime Eye! All my e/s colors look much better with it and blending so easy with it! Love it!

Unorgiginal, but true - I would have to go with Urban Decay's Primer Potion. It's unreal - I can wake up from a nap and my eyeshadow is still bright and in place. Love it!

I sometimes use M·A·C Matte which helps prevent creasing which is quite important when I'm flying across the atlantic for ten hours or so and then still have a full day ahead! It works pretty well but I'm going to play with bare canvas paint tonight to see how I get on with that

having been a lover of Benefit FY eye for ages I thought nothing would better it. however the Urban decay eye primer is positively magical. I have very greasy lids but my eye shadow stays perfect with this.
Go buy it now!!! I demand it * stamps trotters*, LOL

UD PP is the best stuff, ever. MAC paints are good, too...personally I like Mauvism, Canton Candy, and Bare Canvas. Shadesticks...I really like Corn (which is a yellowish shade) and CCBs...I avoid those. They make my eyelids feel all oily and greasy...but that's just CCBs in general. I haven't experienced any CCBs by MAC.

Ahh UD!

I have been using the UD PP and it truly is the best eye base I've ever used--makes my e/s appear bright even 12 hours later!

Thanks everyone!

...i like shadesticks best ;D

So do these primers and paints even stop the matte shadows from creasing? I find when I wear Bark or Quarry they crease within minutes. Should I invest in a primer?

I just got Frostlight fluidline and I love it! I used it from lash to brow as a base, but it also doubled as a highlighter. It works awesome! I put it on with my 242 brush and it worked great! No crease and it made the shadow pop even more since it's a white shade.
Give it a go!

Shadestick application

I got the mini shadestick set for Christmas and I've never had any shadesticks before. How do you guys apply them? Like a crayon or with a brush? I used one today, like a crayon all over my lid. Is that the best way?

 

[user3]

I rub it on my lids or browbone area right from the stick and blend with my fingers.

 

[mellz]

You can use it both ways. Usually I just put it on like a crayon and sometimes when I use more than one I blend them with a brush.

I recently bought Lucky Jade shadestick. I tried it today but it doesn't seem to go on smoothly with UDPP. Whats they best way for shadesticks to glide onto eyelids?

 

[a914butterfly]

i usually just use the shadesticks as a base itself. maybe try prep & prime?
