Paint Pots for Women of Color - Page 4

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I think I have 9 paint pots now. This is how I like to use some of them.

- Blackground - for when I want my blues and purples to pop
- Rubenesque - Love using this for a smoky brown/black eye
- Rollickin/Deflt/Otherworldly - I wear teals and blues often so these are invaluable. Otherwordly is great for a really bright look
- Groundwork - excellent for a neutral look
- Perky - this one is okay. I use it for neutral or lighter looks
- Rollickin - Great for purple + Blue looks

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I'm surprised Delft hasn't ben mentioned a little more in this thread. I use it all day everyday (well not quite, but it's got a large dip so far).

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I just got Delft last week, and although I love the color ( goodness gracious I'm in deep love with the color), it doesn't seem to apply as evenly as the other 3 I own. It seems to make my otherwise dry lids turn oily, therefore making it's application uneven and streaky if I'm not careful.


Anyway, I use:

Delft under blues/teals (so far).
Groundwork for neutrals, pinkish looks, purples (and blues, before I procured Delft)
Constructivist under greens and browns
Rubenesque, I haven't used for a look yet, but I suppose I'll use it for greens, golden and bronze-y looks, and some pinks.



I have to get Blackground now. HAVE to.

I never thought I could/would use Blackground for anything. How well does using it under shadows for daytime office looks work (or does it)?

i think it is meant to intensify/make colors pop kinda like sharkskin s/s. i plan on using it with blues, greens, purples etc. i'm not sure about using it for office looks. you might want to stick with bare study, rubenesque, painterly, quite natural and shades of the like for a more subdued/daytime office look.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I've started to try and collect all of the paint pots because I love them so much. But I must say that I am very dissapointed with Perky paint pot.

I didnt like it at all. I will give it one more try and if I still hate it ---its going back or I'm gonna swap it out. it was a very pale weird coral on my eyes that just didnt work for me

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I just bought Artifact but have no idea what to wear it with. I do like the color in the pot though.

I used Moss Scape today with a sweep of chrome yellow on the top for a sparkling and shimmery green eye.

Artifact looks really pretty with pink bronze over the top. If you wet the pink bronze pigment it gives it a bolder color. HTH

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I find this is true for all paints and paint pots with shimmer in them. They always crease too easily on me, so I'm like, what's the point?? This is why I prefer the matte shades.

I gave Perky paint pot another try today and it worked. I used it as a base on the lid with expensive pink on top. BEAUTIFUL!!

I'm glad that I didnt return this the other day. I guess its all about what you pair it with.

I use UDPP under everything so creasing is never an issue and so I use Paint Pots to pop the shade I wear over it. HeavenLeiBlu, have you tried using a primer under your PP?

I haven't; mostly because Constructivist and Groundwork ARE my primers! I've only noticed this with Delft, and I can tell it'll be an issue with Rubenesque, because the texture is the same. Nice Vice seems to prime and hold up as sturdily as the first two. I guess I'm gonna have to cave and do that though because I'm a quick and dirty kinda girl and too impatient to be meticulous all the time, but I love Delft too much. Blues are my favorite color, hence the username, LOL.

oh no! I just picked up rubenesque yesterday. I have very oily lids and I wanted something that would not be too creamy. I will have to use UDPP under it then

I I want to get bare study...indianwood also looked really nice

Yeah, I mean I have to say that I used Rubenesque as a base a few days ago w/o incident, but I used it VERY sparingly w/a brush. If your lids are oily, definitely use a primer.

Indianwood is VERY pretty, but it's a very strong and BOLD gold, and being that one of my NARS multiples is almost an exact dupe of it, I took it back because it's bolder than I'd ever use on a frequent basis, and I'd never use it up, since I have a sub for it. So if you're feening for a strong gold, DEFINITELY get it. It's gorgeous.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I have to add Layin Low even though its LE. Its the perfect color for neutral, brown, or any shade. It matches our skin tone and its matte. Perfect p/p!

You made me get it, and I'm so glad I did. Indianwood is my latest MAC love interest and can do no wrong by me!

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

Ok, I just started getting into paint pots since maybe 2 weeks ago, and all I can say is, "Where have you been all my life?!" I want almost all of them, seriously. And I never thought I would retire my shadesticks, but that's what's happening right now (and I just really got into those earlier this year lol).

So far I have:
Groundwork
Fresco Rose
Indianwood
Constructivist

Still trying to figure out which colors work best with which e/s, but I love them all. Next on my list are Delft, Mosscape, Artifact and Blackground...I may sneak away this weekend to pick them up, lol.

If it wasn't for Indianwood, I seriously would have thrown away Woodwinked, but now I like it (just not all over my eyelid, but that's another post haha)

Yay for Paint Pots!!

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

I just recently purchased my 1st pp and its in Quite Natural... I like the color. Its darker than my skin so I have to really blend it because I only want it as a base but I do like it. I also got a CCB in Mid-Tone Sepia and I LOVE the CCB.

Re: Paint Pots for Women of Color

You, my dear, are in trouble. You can forget it now. You have discovered paint pots. I swore I wasn't going to get into these, and you sound exactly like I did. I've got 8 of them now. Moss Scape deserves a look, also.
