I'm experimenting with Blackground paint POT and Helium piggy today - was suprised at how purple the colour had become.
I have trouble working out what colour to use to blend in with background around the crease area. I have trouble getting a soft transition from the black to the lighter highlight colours. Any tips??
I used a silver, then wasn't too happy with that coz it goes a blue-ish tinge so I blended in the Violet piggy over the top.
What does everyone use to blend Blackground when it's just on the lid??

Much more bright pinky/purply IRL. Everything turns out grey on my camera.

^^Very pretty! I normally use the highlight colour (or whatever colour falls in between highlight & crease colour) to blend out Blackground. I think you did a great job!

^^ That looks really cool! I haven't got Blackground paint, is it Inglot or MAC? I couldnt tell from prev posts. When I've been moving a darker colour into something lighter I've tended to go to a neutral shade first like Wedge with a 217 or 224 and then used my crease colour over that, it blends well and puts a more skin tone between the 2 colours, dunno if it works for anyone else but it's helped me.

Yup - blackground paint POT. heheh.
I blame it being an early morning start... I should never post so early in the morning. Brain doesn't function.
I'll try the neutral colour to blend the pp around the crease area, prior to applying crease colour.
Samibabe - I don't happen to have terrible luck blending the highlight colour into the pp. And the times it's worked, I've felt like i've been blending for over 15mins straight with it. I think it's because Blackground is such a dark pp. With lighter pp's (like BareStudy) it's all good blending with the highlight. It's like I need a colour inbetween the highlight and crease before I apply my actual crease colour (if that makes sense).

I love Amber Lights - so pretty! Sounds v. nice!
Hey speaking of PPs - what brush do you guys use to apply them? I think I need to get a synthetic one... because i'm using 213 and it's driving me nuts (cleaning-wise). Does anyone use the 212 flat definer?

^^For PP's I find it really works to use a 217...it blends out the color so you don't crease and leaves just the right amount of color for the base

I only have one #217
, so I use my finger to apply Blackground. I also feather it up towards the brow area, so I haven't had any problem blending it out with the highlight colour so far..
My favorite MUA uses #217 to apply p/p by the way.
I am going to use this combo- Goldmine + Amber Lights + _____ all week and figure out which one I like the most lol.

I think it is quite controllable with #217.. I use flat fluffy brush for highlight! Whatever it is called from Napoleon Perdis, which is a bit like #252. And #239 to apply piggies? Wow, everyone has different way to use their brushes.

As for paint pots I used to use the MAC concealer brush but I felt it was too flimsy so I now use the Inglot concealer brush (pictured below with the blending brush I promised to paste in whichever thread, I forget haha).
I never considered using the 217, like CatsMeow I think it's a bit too fluffy!

Yay simplyenchantin!! You have French Cuff, too!
Yay spectrolite!! You got Deep Shade! It is so pretty. I bought Shale e/s to pair it with Knight e/s and somehow damn MUA gave me Satin Taupe, not Shale! Grrrr.. I always check my bag, but not that time, and of course it has to happen that way.
