SO true!! GPS's are the best smokey base ever!! The plus is they can be used in the waterline!!

Hi Everyone:

I just found out from my Mac Counter, the sharperner is on the end of the GPS. I did not know that. I usually use an eye liner brush so I don't waste the product. Did anyone know this?

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

I tried my GPS in the waterline yesterday loved it and I also still love using it as a base I will be buying more with his upcoming collection I love these better than shaadesticks more creamier and easy to us all around.

 

[omgitzstephanie]

I've never tried a GPS yet and I kinda don't want to ONLY because I feel like I'm going to get addicted and love it like the rest of you do!

I want all of the Greasepaints! It's not realistic at all but I want them all!!!

My thoughts exactly! I bought the Style Black GPS just because everything else was sold out - it wasn't on my list but I was so sad so I just wanted something (and then went home and bought everything from ebay...).

I've only once tested it on my other eye. I don't know why I don't use it though! Still these new ones interest me, I like some of the colours, but I don't want to waste my money on something I won't use. I'll have to try my current one in a look to see if I like it enough to purchase more. Maybe I just haven't learned their awesomeness yet?

Lucky me... I'm not realistic nor practical!!! So bring them all!!

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Wow, I just think Slick Black gps should be given for free to anyone that purchased the original (nameless?) gps from Style Black. That's what I was looking for originally, oh MAC you're so thoughtless now-a-days.

hee hee! don't worry about getting addicted to them. they're great but not that great, if you know what i mean. that's why i am only getting 2 of them, at the end of the day a dark base, is a dark base

Thanks, makes me feel a lot better about passing them!

But for all my eye looks, I never use colour bases.

I always just use UDPP and I think it works fine for me. Maybe one day I'll step out and use something different!

I am in most things - just not makeup. I love my makeup

How does the consistancy of the GPS compare to Feline kohl power? I know that's kind of random, but I've been using Feline as a base for smokey looks for a few months now and I LOVE how easy it is to blend onto the lid (using a 217 brush) but it creases on me in a couple of hours. Are the GPS just as easy to blend??

 

[purrtykitty]

I find the GPS pretty easy to blend, and once you're done blending that sh*t don't budge. Like a lot of bases, there's only a limited amount of time you can blend around before it sets, though.

Does anyone know if we are going to be able to B2M for the Lipstain markers? I am assuming yes b/c you can get dazzleglass, cremesheen, pro longwear etc. so why not the Lipstain??

i have a feeling that yes, you will be able to. we get a fax with all collections with an updated list of b2m-able products, so i will let ya'll know.

what karin said.

its very creamy, slick, smudgable, and blendable like feline, but for only about 30 secs. tho feline stays creamy forever (and creases as a base), the GPS sets like nobody's business and won't move (on most people anyway. there's always the random few that say it moves

).

Too bad we can't B2M for the GPS!!

it's only moved / creased on me when i was eriously hot and sweaty after dancing for hours on end

normal wear is absoluetly fine. in fact i use the black gps on my lower lash line today... applied at 6am and now at 7pm it still looks the same! 13 hours wear people!!!
