Paint Pots for Women of Color - Page 5

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I just discovered this thread. I have a bunch of colored paint pots (love them all) and am looking for a more neutral one to replace my Bare Canvas paint. I'm trying to pick between Painterly, Soft Ochre or Bare Study. Which one do you guys recommend? I'm an NC30/35 with pink undertones.

Painterly for sure. It is very similar to Bare Canvas as it has pink tones. Soft Ochre is more yellow. Bare Study is shimmery so it's very different.

proud owner of 10 paintpots..I reach painterly more and groundwork is my fave for all natural minimal look..I still use UDPP and sometimes layer s/s over p/p..no crease at all!!!
I also like Artifact with Heritage Rouge and Cranberry.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I use Quite Natural.
NW47 and it works like a charm.
E/S sticks to it like paint.
Just have to be careful with the crease area.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I adore my Bare Study, Groundwork, & Blackground paint pots

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

Hi ladies!!! Newbie here
I have the Groundwork and Indianwood p/p. I love them both. The Indianwood dosen't show up as a bright gold on me, maybe it's because I apply it w/ a brush. Either way, I love it!

I think I want to go back to get another p/p...any suggestions ladies? I would love something to help bring out the purples and pinks in my palettes

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

whenever I do make-up for a colored lady I will use Groundwork, & Blackground because barestudy and painterly turn out a bit washed out. It the lady is NC/NW35 or lower painterly and are still good matches.

Sorry but i had to chuckle a bit when I read "colored lady". I'm sure you didnt mean anything by it but it caught me off guard. For a second I thought I went back in time. LOL

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I just bought Constructivist and although I don't know much about the pp since I'm new, it seems a bit sparkly. It is almost the color of satin taupe and part of me believes I need a lighter color. I dunno. trial and error I guess

If you can get a hold of Nice Vice, I'd recommend that.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I wish I could get samples of the other paint pots because i dont really want to shell out 16.50 for a big pot i may not even use all the time i have like 7 paint pots and i really want to try like 4 more but i dont want purchase them I just want really nice size samples. I wish some one would sell me some nice size samples of them. I am sorry I am ranting. that is what i kind of do. but hey any who i love paint pots and i think they are amazing at changing the color of the eyeshadows and making the eye shadow color brighter.

Did you had any problems with soft ochre? I cannot apply it evenly..while the rest of my paintpots I could apply at ease either using a brush or fingers..soft ochre ended up blotchy..

What brush do you use?
post #136 of 196

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I use a brush with indianwood and it's still pretty bright. I used the 242. I've heard that some use the 217 or 213 but I haven't tried it.

I know that over here, mac_mocha does samples.... I can't remember the names of anyone who does them at MUA, but you have to just search for the colors you want in the swap section, and read on to determine if that person swaps sample jars. I received two from someone who hasn't logged on for a very long time, so I don't want to put her name out there and get your hopes up for nothing. It's very easy to find someone, with the directions I gave you though. :-) As far as over here, You're just gonna have to do the legwork and look through the swap/sell forum... again, just narrow the field by serching for specific paint pot, and they will have in their listing whether or not they do samples. HTH.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

The area around my eyes is quite dark and shadow does not last long or show up on my eyes very well. A MA at MAC suggested I use a paint pot to brighten up the eye area so the eye shadow shows up and lasts longer.

Has anyone used PP for that purpose and if so which one do you suggest. I was in a rush so didn't catch the color but it was really sparkly.

For reference I am a NC40.

You mean, something close to your fleshtone? I'd suggest Groundwork.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

Me too. These are myfave two paintpots right now and even though I love the paintpots with shimmer (BareStudy, Fresco Rose, Indianwood, Rubenesque, Delft, Artifact, etc.) I wont purchase them because of creasing issues and also if I have to apply my udpp or my two face es insurance thats just too many steps for me. I only want the matte ones...Anyone tried ochre style PP yet? Thoughts please? Also in watching some specktra tuts I see people using a moisturizer or vasleline with the drier paintpots...wouldnt this automatically cause them to crease? Have any of you tried this method?

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I have groundwork PP (I love it...but sometimes when i'm wearing matte shadows..the satin shimmer of groundwork shows through). So i'm looking for a basic cream pp that's close to my color (or at least blends well into brown girl skin). I'm NC50. Will Painterly work?

Okay, now I'm wondering if I have a bad pot... my Groundwork has absolutely no shimmer, mine is flat. what gives?

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color
