Ok now I explain my basic Pure luxe shadow routine ! :

When I first bought my samples I was very pleased with them 'cause they just look so pretty and stuff but I soon was a bit disappointed because applied dry they didn't show up ( on my NW15 skin !!! ) and once applied foiled the colors were vibrant but fell a lot on my cheeks and made my face look like a total mess !

So after 3 or 4 tries ... I gave up and kept these oh-so cute pots in my drawers.

Buttt ... then I discovered Mac Shadesticks !!!!

This stuff is in my opinion the best shadow base I've never tried ! It made a total difference to my eye make up !

For exemple today I'm only wearing pure luxe shadows on my lids ( white diamonds, charisma, risque and bubblegum), applied dry over beige-ing and Crimsonaire shadesticks !

The result is marvelous ... for real.

The s/s seems to make the pigments "stick" very well and it stays put all day long. No more fall out or dull pigment shadows !

Now I loooooove to wear my pure luxe and Mac pigments because I found it as easy to use as regular shadows. ^_^'

Hope this helps 'cause it completely change my pigment make-up life ! hahaha

They are even better with MAC paints which give a better color payoff or try Krylon AquaColors for very intense payoff. The key is a definite paint, shadestick kind of base, the richer or deeper the more payoff you will recieve.

I recently bought 14 eyeshadow & 2 blush samples from Pure Luxe - and I love love love them. I will be back on their website (which isn't user friendly however for the price of the pigments/shadows, I can live with it!) very shortly to buy some more!
I use UDPP, then either a shadestick or preferably a NYX jumbo crayon (much better than the shadesticks). I then wet my brush with mixing medium (1 part glycerine + 2-3 parts water) (and dab excess on a small cloth), and dip into the pigment. I press this onto my eyelids (packing it on). Give it a few minutes to dry and then blend with a little more shadow/pigment on dry brush this time.
No fall out & the colour is startlingly vibrant, and lasts all day long without creasing or fading. Give it a try and you will be amazed!
As for the blush - I thought they were good (maybe not HG, but still good to have) - just apply lightly after applying setting powder - if you do it before, the pigment 'catches' on the moisture from the foundation and won't apply smoothly.

I find the quality of these e/s totally lacking. Compared to other loose pigments, these are just so sheer and muddy. I get frustrated every time I work with them! I'll stick to MAD x.x

Has anybody tried their Eraser?

I have the eraser and I love it. It really smooths out skin and erases pores. I got a sample in the spring and I am almost out and need more. I will probably purchase the full size this time

Do you mean the cream or powder one? I have samples of both, but I haven't tried them out yet. How do you apply the cream one? I've been a strict mineral makeup user for so long it feels weird to use a non powder product on my face..
