Re: Shadestick or Paint Pot?
why not try some of the paints and see if they would work. maybe bare canvas might work for you and make your shadows you like pop. untitled is what i wear under my shadows everyday depending on the color i choose. i wore bare canvas paint under deep truth and dang did it pop!!!!

I used to have bare canvas but didn't really find that it was any different from Untitled, so I gave it to a friend.
I figure I'll just go in tomorrow and play a little before deciding

To make silvery shadows pop I use Frostlite fluidine and in the past I've used Luna CCB. Blackground or sharkskin will make them a slightly darker shade but should help nonetheless. Have you tried using UDPP?

Paint Pots are easier to apply. Shadesticks give more pop to eye shadow in my opinion and come in a better range of colors.

There is a paint called Pixel. It is silver. I forgot to add this one.

Re: Shadestick or Paint Pot?
I like both but sometimes my shadesticks feel really dry especially Sharkskin. I might have bought it from a bad batch or something. I think paint pots are easier to apply and control if you do get a paint pot I suggest using the #242 brush to apply. You can also try Silverstroke fluidline as a base, it's a nice greyish silver.

Paint Pots or Shadestick?
Hi! I'm new to MAC so i'm just start my collection. I want a color base for my eye shadows so that the color shows up better than when I use UDPP. I know some people use the paint pots and shadesticks as a base, but which do you think is better? I have one of the MakeUp Forever Flash Color Pots and it would never dry and it creased really bad. Do any of the paint pots or shadesticks crease or do they stay in place? Thanks!

Re: Paint Pots or Shadestick?
i have both paint pots & shadesticks. However, i havent gotten around to using my shadesticks. I do use the paint pots. They're really great and dont crease (i have oily skin) & stay in place. MAC is slowly doing away with shadesticks so u might want to either get it while you can or just use the paint pots. I use bare study, but they have other natural shades such as painterly. if you get the shadestick beige-ing is a good natural color. Also, paint pots & shadesticks come in colors as well, which is great for bringing out color eyeshadows & still providing a base. btw u can even wear both of them alone.
i hope this helps..

Re: Paint Pots or Shadestick?
I guess its down to personal choice. I, for one like Shadesticks, some people dont because the aren't soft and creamy like paint pots. But I think I would suggest a paint pot since they come in a great range of colors whereas s/s seem they might be dying a slow death. Good luck!

I'd choose Shadesticks over Paint Pots, but I really do like them both.
