What shadestick or paint pot to deepen colors?

I know there is a thread on best primer/base and I have paint pot Painterly and Bare Study for that (and UDPP), but I'm looking now for a base to bring out/deepen the color of the e/s.
I mostly wear green, purple or brown. Any recs on shadestick and paint (pot) are welcome, though I've never used shadesticks before.

Thanks a lot!

Sharkskin Shadestick, or paint pot in Blackground. These colors will really bring out the colors of the shadows you wear.

I 2nd Sharkskin shadestick. =) I find it really brings out purple eyeshadows.
Sea Me shadestick really brightens greens as well, but it will change the green color to more of a teal color. Delft paintpot works with greens as well.

To deepen, Sharkskin shadestick or Blackground paint pot. To brighten, I would say a shadestick or paint pot of the same color your using. For example, Purple would be Royal Hue shadestick or maybe wait for the purple paint pot being released with Fafi.

blackground paint pot.

i have it and this would be a great base for the dark eyeshadows..

it's a black shimmery base, but it'd work with any darker shadows in any color (navy, brown, purple, green, black, etc)

I tried Blackground and Sharksin thinking that they would deepen the colors I used over them but they really intensified them and brightened them.

Thanks all! I will start with Sharkskin Shadestick. And wait for the purple paint pot or try shadestick Royal Hue.

What about greens? Could I use Groundwork or Moss Scape paint pot to intensify the green?

Thanks again!

If you're open to try a CCB [Cream Colour Base] I would suggest Fawntastic. It's great for brightening any shadow and it is especially good for neutrals.

Use them over a good base. I use paints.

Thanks, I'm gonna check it out. I used blackground with mulch over and didn't get the effect I was after.

Like aziajs said, use them over a base, like UDPP or TFSI. I was just thinking in terms of bringing out color.

With something like Mulch you would want to use a gold toned PP like Cash Flow.
