paint pots as a base.
who else is in LOVE with this idea? i know, i am. yesterday, i spent 45 minutes just putting colours over the paint pots and everything looked amazing.
let me tell you.
delft under moonflower eyeshadow does wonders! both the artists and i were amazed. i cannot even describe to you how beautiful it looks.
i am terribly sorry my beloved bare canvas paint, but i am going to have to retire you and move on to something new and better: paint pots!
seriously, i will never use anything other than paint pots again [until they run out, of course].
gosh,
I AM IN LOVE.
does anyone feel the same??

Re: paint pots as a base.
Oooooh! I just went to MAC today and bought rubenesque and fresco rose. They are beautiful and so smooth and moisturizing. My fiance and I are having a date night tomorrow night at a nice italian resturant and I have been planning my pink/lavender eye with fresco rose, helium, kitchmas, shimmertime, and blacktrack fluid line! Oh, I'm so excited to get to use it!

Re: paint pots as a base.
I got 3 paint pots the other day. Yesterday, during the day I wore Bare Study from lashes to brow and then lined with Blackground. It looked so fresh and clean and it was SO quick to apply. Then last night, we went to a birthday party so I added Greenstroke on my lid, Ether e/s in the crease, and Nylon over Bare Study as a highlight. I am really liking these!! I want to add Delft, Fresco Rose and Rubanesque to my collection soon!

Re: paint pots as a base.
yes, i love them too. i have artifact, delft, indianwood, bare study, constructivist. i use them as a base. i have used artifact under cranberry. indianwood under goldmode or woodwinked. indianwood is my favorite. constructivist i have used under mulch. delft under shimmermoss or turquatic. they are all so smooth and makes colors pop. does not crease on me. i also got a sample of painterly.
i would like to hear all other combos you have tried.

Re: paint pots as a base.
I think my favorite is Rubenesque.
I used these all day long on all of my customers, and haven't found anything I didn't like. I think my favorite eye of the day was on an NW45: Constructivist from lash to above the crease, then Falling Star from the center of the lid out and up towards the tail of the brow. Then I lined with Photogravure and smudged. That's it. No other product. It looked AMAZING.

Re: paint pots as a base.
a little off topic...do you all use any brushes for that, or just fingers?

Re: paint pots as a base.
I haven't gotten a chance to play around with the new paint pots yet, but damn, you people are only making it worse!
Except for Blackground, which is almost identical to Sharkskin from what I've seen. That lessens the tension...slightly.

Re: paint pots as a base.
I was pretty in the air about the paint pots, so I just bought Fresco Rose because it was so pretty. But having used it, I LOVE IT. As soon as I get more money I am going to be getting more.
Also Kiko, I've been using 228 or 242 eye brushes to apply my paint. It goes on nice and even. What is also nice it is easier to not waste product with the pots whereas the paint tubes can sometimes be a struggle to not get too much or not enough.

Re: paint pots as a base.
I tried Greenstroke today and I love how creamy they are. It feels very moisturising. I am getting a few more on Tuesday. I have now Greenstroke, Delft, and Artifact. I think I am getting Bare Study, Indianwood, and Fresco Rose.
