wearing paint pots alone

[jdmac]

MissChievous-i know what you mean. i got rubenesque recently and i'm still trying to figure out how it works best for me, but i know what you mean about it not applying evenly...? i wonder why no one else has really mentioned that. i've used my fingers and a flat shader brush. am i doing something wrong??

btw-i saw your glowy skin tut and i loved it! =) thanks! beautiful skin!!

I still dont like paint pots.. it feels weird on me...

I can't use them alone, I think there's not enough colour of them (excluding dark shades, and they don't blend enough). They don't last so well alone, I have such oily lids. But they make perfect base to powder eyeshadow.

Funny - I bought groundwork first & it was too dark to use all over my lid but its a great contour color for me. So lately I've been putting it in the crease with my ring finger and then painterly above & below & overlapping it just a bit so it blends out the edge of the crease color. I can go out the door with just that or add e/s if time allows.

If I'm in a hurry sometimes I'll use a lighter paint pot color (like bare study) from lash to brow with just liner & mascara.

I like rubenesque, indianwood, bare study and cash flow by themselves on days when I cant be bothered with makeup but I rarely wear only one shadow and feel like by themselves they dont have enough dimension

If I'm feeling lazy. I just put painterly on lid to brow bone add eyeliner and mascara

I use my Bare Study PP as a base or sometimes, alone just to blot out any redness.

I can't seem to use shadesticks as a base, they tend to dry out on me very quickly.

I use Bare Study hands down. It saved me in a lot of situations where I really have to get going to a place and it's one of those places where you kinda need makeup. (Example, parties lolz!!)

Moss Scape and Rollickin' are my tied second favourites

I love using:
- Bare Study + Groundwork
- Bare Study + Indianwood

- Bare Study + Girlfriendly + Nice Vice

I also mix'n'match with my Bobbi Brown and Benefit cream eyeshadows, which are just as good.

I still prefer to use PP as base.

I'm wearing Painterly alone today!

Most if not all of them can be worn alone. The only one I have trouble with is Blackground. It is much wetter than the others, and for that I would suggest another Paint under it such as Bare Canvas, or Soft Ochre. Ones that dry down more than the other ones, just to balance it.

I love girl friendly. its a very nude color on me since im like a nw35 right now. When i want to look like a clean face as if i had no makeup i like groundwork..but thats just me since im that type of skin tone.
