^^ Nat I have a Q for you hehe. Will lip erase make pale pink colours look better or worse on me?

Also to everyone else, what do you reckon about the black grease paint stick vs blackground paintpot or anything else of that kind - I dont have any sort of black base short of using fluidline - recs/thoughts?? (sorry this is probably a bad thread for this Q)

Hey Mich, why don't you try a bit of foundation or concealer, just around your lips? I have dry lips, so I don't put the lip erase all over my lips - just the outline of it. So when I wear a pale lippy, I don't look like I have a darker liner lol.

The only dark base I have is Blackground pp.. I would love Sharkskin ss, but don't want to hunt for it, when it is so similar to Blackground pp. I had a hard time blending it this morning though.. Don't know if it was my lid or PP got dried up.. But then I do get that with Delft pp sometimes.. Anyway (I am thinking loud
lol.gif
because I am still digesting huge lunch grrr), Blackground went on patchy on my lid, but by the time I applied the shadows, it didn't look patchy at all. MES look fantastic against PP base, but then I haven't seen myself under bright lights today, so maybe my eyes look like disco balls

I think I have a sample of Blackground pp sitting somewhere. I can check if it is still usable.. if it is - you can have it!

^^ I think it was Bibi who said they were almost identical? You have Sharkskin ss, right? Lip Erase is just flesh coloured lip balm.. Nothing special really.. Just convenient than pumping out my precious foundation/concealer

^Yahhh they look the same on the lid BUT Sharkskin can actually be really handy if you want to apply a smudge proof black base colour to your lower lash line easily. I like having both >_<

Mich - another great black base is the Black Cream Colour Base that was released with Style Black. It's really good for using with the mineral shadows since it's tacky, and pigments and glitters as well. I think I now own every black base that MAC makes except for the Chromaline... One day!

Bibi, you left a crucial point - Nat reads and remembers what everyone says here

Yet, I have a hard time remembering my own mob. number.

Oh well, I bought MUFE Aqua liner in dark grey, so that can be used for the lower lash line.. I am not really crazy about CCB. Last week, I wore Luna and even with TFSI underneath, the shadows kinda disappeared. I never have that problem with PP.

OMG Nat I was just remarking today how I can't remember anything!!

When I was typing out my look for today I had to Google a few products because I could not remember what they were called... So scary.

Too bad Luna isn't working for you. I've had no issues with any of my CCB's though! I use Shadow Insurance underneath too.

Hahaha I am glad I am not the only one Bibi. Sometimes my mind goes blank and I have to search as well. I treat writing my FOTD a daily brain exercise.

Yeah, I just don't love CCB as much as PP.. I will have another go though.. Maybe it was just my face.
