1st time paint pot?

[Whisperwar]

I'm a paint pot virgin!

Yes. So I was wondering which you would recommend as a first time buy. I want something that is neutral and pretty, so it can be worn on it's own, but also good as a base colour.

I was looking at Rubenesque, Painterly, Bare Study. That kinda thing.
Thanks guys

My favorite paintpot is Perky that came out with the Fafi collection I use it everday as a base but I'm not sure if it's a LE one.

mine is soft ochre

I use Bare Study as a base all the time for neutral looks. It's a frosty nude color and I love it for my lazy days when I don't want to wear a lot of eye makeup.

I like using bare study and painterly, depending on what look I want that day. Bare study is beautiful on its own!

Painterly works with everything imo

Painterly! I love Blackground also but I suppose that's for darker looks..

 

[MissResha]

painterly works great with everything

but as a pretty use-alone color, i'd suggest rubenesque or indianwood

Yes, I was going to try out Blackground aswell, because I usually do darker looks when I'm going out on the weekend.

Painterly is great as a base!

 

[MissResha]

^^exactly. i wouldn't wear it alone lol.

i think essential paint pots are painterly and also blackground. Painterly is great for a base for anything, Blackground is perfect for darker looks.
Bare study is lovely too on its own!!!

My first and only PP was painterly, and I love it.
Im NC35 for reference.

My first paint pot was blackground. For neutral looks I tend to just stay with primer a use a base eyeshadow. But for darker looks, I always use blackground to help the e/s stay and make them pop.

Soft Ochre and Grounwork! Great on their own or as a base.

It really depends if you want a shimmery or a more matte base. If you want shimmery, I'd go with Bare Study, if you want matte then I'd choose Soft Ochre or Painterly.

I loooove Perky...I don't think it's L/E, cuz I'm pretty sure I bought it when the paint pots were first introduced...anyway, it's a really great base, and looks really pretty by itself. I slap some of that on with some mascara when I'm feeling lazy, and still somehow get compliments on my eyes...I chalk it up to the awesome power of Perky. Hehehe.

I love Painterly, Bare Study, and Indianwood. I wouldn't wear Painterly on it's own but I could see myself wearing Bare Study and Indianwood alone.
