Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

I've only used UD Primer Potion. I got a sample of it in a swap and I think it works pretty well. Though I have read that the full size bottles are oddly shaped so that you can't even use some of the product! The brush can't reach the remaining product because of the way it's shaped. So it does work well, but that's also something to consider.

Re: Can anyone rec. a good e/s base/primer?

I purchased Wet 'n Wild's concealer stick for $2.. & it works wonderfully. I apply it directly to my eyelid & browbone & then blend with my finger [to make sure I get everything covered]. My shadow doesn't fade, crease & it lasts all day.

I tried L'Oreal's De-Crease but I find that this concealer stick actually works better!

Get it. It's cheap & you will not be disappointed. & if you are, you only wasted two bucks & now have a concealer stick for undereyes or wherever, haha. ♥

Paint Pots (Painterly, Black, Rubenesque)- the best i have ever testet and i tried a lot (also ok are the paints)- i don´t like the prep and prime and the urban decay is too expensive.

(should say PAINTpot in title lmao sorry)
I'm going to MAC tomorrow and I don't want to buy all three lol
I was thinking either a shadestick in beige-ing, paintpot in painterly or paint in bare canvas...
which one would be the best choice for a base?

Re: MAC Paints, Shadesticks or Painpots for base?

Bare canvas is a pretty good base; I haven't tried painterly yet, so I really can't comment. But I think beige-ing is my favorite because it makes shadows look nice and is the least messy IMO. But because MAC is DC'ing shadesticks, beige-ing might not be available so you might be able to get it. HTHS!

Rubenesque paint pot actually looks good. I didnt like it at first, but it's really good.

I vote for Painterly paint pot b/c to me it seems closest in texture (cream) to the paint tube I'm used to (Bare Canvas). I'd say go for the paintpot, I honestly love them so much more than shadesticks (which I find to be dry though they slide better when you have a base underneath like a paint or paintpot but to me I wanted to use it as a base itself) or the paint tube which is just not convenient packaging (yucky metal tube....I hate it!).

I love the paints more than anything else

I have Painterly, and I found that its best used with light colors on top. When you apply darker colors it changes them slightly (dulls them).

From the paints, I use often Stilife & Shimma.

you must have got a bad one because udpp is not sticky at all.

i hate shadesticks. they don't glide so smoothly. paint pots are ok. i really like the Paints.
