Question Re: Cream Color Base

[LisaR]

Do many of you use this product and what is your favorite useage - cheeks, lips, eyes? I've never used it so I'm just curious...

Thanks!

I have a couple (Pearl, Black, etc.) that I use mostly on my eyes to make colors more vibrant. They're fairly emollient, so they don't dry like Paints and Shadesticks do and will crease on the eyes if applied too thickly. As such, I usually put on a Paint first, and then pat a very thin layer of the CCB on with a brush like the 242, then put shadow over it. It really helps with colors that you have a hard time getting to show up, but it can be tricky. HTH!

I use it as a base to help my eyeshadow stand out more. I like it....but the paints are a better choice.

I have both Virgin Isle (a coral color) and Fabulush (a rosy goldish red) and I use them lightly as an eyebase with my coral or pink shadows and I love them as cream blushes too underneath other colors.

Virgin Isle is super pretty as a lip color too. I just add a little gloss over top

Fuchsia Perfect makes a great blush.

I use Fantastic plastic, Cooled pink, Luna and Tickle me pink on the lips.

they look nice and glossy x

Thanks for responding all!

One other question. Some of these colors look just yummy for lips/cheeks as you wrote above. How is the staying power of this creamy color? Does it last?

Thanks yet again!

I find they last really well on the cheeks (you still probably want to set them with a sheer loose powder, though, for more staying power and less smudgability). I haven't used them on the lips, but I love to see pearl used right below the browbone as a highlighter, because it is sooo gorgeous and on the browbone it won't have any place to crease like it does on the lid itself!

I do this too. Works great!

Lune is the only one I own, and honestly, I'm not sure why I bought is as I've only used it 2x.

I own Fabulush and Salsabelle and both work really well as blushes - I don't really know what else I would use them for since I don't think they'd look that great on my eyes.

I have the CCB in Bronze and I use it as a bronzer on my cheeps, nose, or even sometimes on my lips. I don't think the CCBs are good for an eyeshadow base because they crease since they are more creamy. I used to apply it with my fingers, but it goes on unevenly and is splotchy. I use a firm blush brush now to apply it (not the 187, it's too soft to get out the product).

Addendum = Hush CCB and Florabundance lipglass over Test Pattern lipliner can be pretty damn hot.

Okay...sounds like this is a must try product. now...which color to start off with.... hmmm...

i use a thin layer of CCB over the paint or UD Potion primer to help e/s adhere better. I have a CCB in Silver, it's pretty sheer. If you use CCB alone on your lids (w/out the base or primer) it'll crease very quickly.
