Hi Christine,
this is the moment ;)
I use as a base: Eyeshadow Base from Artdeco.
I don’t know if you have it in the US, but if you do – try it!!
always wanted to share this, because this product has a great performance. It costs around 5€, 5ml. and lasts for 18 months. It is a creamy texture, light brown in color, which is not noticeable when applied.I just apply it with my fingertips and then do eyeshadow etc. The eyeshadow stays the whole day in place! Even after workout, shower and steam bath it is as in the morning.
I really love this product!

I use that base too, great product!

I also tried mac paint pots, but they don’t give me the same result. They last for a few hours, but then the color is moving. So I stick with the Artdeco product here. But I did not try the primer from Mac – there is one for the eyes right? Anyway, the artdeco is less expensive so I am happy.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It’s the only thing that really works nicely for me. I don’t think I’ll ever stop buying it!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP, sometimes UDPP+MAC Painterly paint pot.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I have oily skin which means oily eyelids and when I discovered UDPP it solved all my crease. Now I moved on to Too Faced Shadow Insurance because the packaging just works better for me.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP – it works great. I’ve heard that people have an easier time blending with other products, but I don’t have any problems.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Bare Study PP! I love the shimmer. Doubles as a highlighter. :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I use two everyday.
I first put down two faced shadow insurance, then on top I put a Mac paint.
I just can’t skip one of them, I am addicted!

Painterly Paint Pot
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Though I think the Mary Kay primer is much better.
Paint Pots don’t work for me at all. Maybe I got a bad one but it goes on so dry and uneven on my eyelids.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Always Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance, if need som colour I use a Paint Pot on top.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
MAC Painterly Paint Pot and MAC Bamboom Paint… I ran out of UDPP and just never bothered getting it again.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Urband Decay Primer Potion!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
me too ive never used mac paint pots!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Too Faced Shadow Insurance =)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
i use soft ochre, too! it’s such a pretty neutral color and you can use it with anything. ^_^
Thursday, November 5, 2009
i go back and forth between soft ochre paint pot and two faced shadow insurance. it depends on what kind look i’m doing.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Well, I am still mourning the loss of Guerlain’s old formula. Why they switched to this horrible dry pasty formula just blows my mind.
I’ve been using UD Primer Potion lately. I don’t love it, but it’s doing the trick so far. I just find that it doesn’t cover as well as Guerlain’s used to; it’s also a little bit dryer.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I also use Mac Soft Ochre paint pot!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
bare canvas paint
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Too Faced Shadow Insurance or GOSH shadestick in Love That Brown or Love that Gold. They are really good and makes your makeup last ALL night – and they are cheap! :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I use MAC Prep+Prime Eye.

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly
Thursday, November 5, 2009
It depends. I only have one paint pot (rubenesque) so when I am using a shadow with gold glitter or coloring, I put it on top of that and it looks gorgeous. But for other shadows I just put UDPP under it and it holds up nicely :]
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I’ve used a lot of bases over the years (shadows crease on me like CRAZY!) but I can’t live with out my Paint Pot in Bare Study!!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Since I wear brown shadows daily, I use MAC Bare Study Paint Pot. I absolutely LOVE that color!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
MAC Soft Ochre paint pot!! I love it cause it’s creamy, really prevents creasing, and I can use it with any look!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP, topped with NYX Milk — a white base REALLY makes colours pop!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Same here! :)
Friday, November 6, 2009
Yes, that’s a classic! :)
Super seductive bright eyes in seconds. <3 this combo.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP and often paired with NYX JEP’s.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Too Faced shadow insurance and sometimes I will use Too Faced first base if I want more of a shimmery look…Love these! I wasnt impressed with UDPP.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
At the moment its Painterly Paint Pot by MAC. Sometimes I do switch over to the good old UDPP :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
First I used to wear MAC Paint in Bare Canvas, now Too Faced Shadow Insurance, for some looks MAC PRO Chromaline in Pure White
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP!! I have extremely oily eyelids and this is the only thing that will keep my eyeshadow on.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Linen, or one of the Laura Mercier Creme Eye Colors.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP and MAC Painterly Paint Pot. Layered together it’s like glue! ;)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Bare study, bare canvas paint,or UDPP Sin; they all work fine but have been meaning to try shadow insurance :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
After trying and being unimpressed with HIP paints, MAC shadesticks, UDPP, Too Faced SI (this one is a bit better than most), and Laura Mercier eye basics, I finally picked up MAC Painterly paint pot. That’s the one. Keeps everything vibrant and mostly prevents the fadeout problems I tend to have. Works best with keeping matte colors vibrant, shimmers still fade a bit, but all in all, best I’ve found.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I just use my under-eye concealer as my eye shadow base. I don’t have oily lids so this works really well for me personally. No fading, no creasing. :-)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP and Victoria Secret cream eyeshadows or else it will crease.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
urban decay primer potion, stila smudgepot in kitten or victorias secret beauty rush cream shadows. they all work amazing for me & don’t crease even after 8+ hours. the only thing i notice is that the smudgepot don’t make my colors stay as vibrant all day long.. but somedays i don’t mind.
i tried soft ochre paint pot, and it did nothing for me.. went on dry & uneven and my shadows creased within an hour! :(
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP all the way!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Artdeco Eye shadow base and Make Up Factory eye shadow base.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
i use my oil-free concealer and pressed powder over it .. and it works great!!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
F.Y.Eye from Benefit.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
MAC Paint Sublime Nature, it works great as it neutralizes the eye and makes eyeshadow stick. The colour also stays fairly true to colour. It also tones down very bright colours too. For pigments I like to use Medusa’s Makeup Stick it Primer, because I find that the waxy texture helps adhere the loose pigments more.
Thursday, November 5, 2009
E.L.F. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer. UDPP used to be my HG, until I tried this. Not only is it easier to blend (slightly more watery than UDPP), it is only $3!! Oh yeah, and it works just as good as UDPP. UDPP will always be one of the best primers IMO, but it’s a tad too thick for my dry lids (accentuates flaky patches around my eyes), esp when I’ve been using the tube for a while. I bought 5, seriously. I’ve been using it for a month now at least, and yes I have oily lids naturally!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Maybelline Dream Matte mousse foundation- cheap and works great! :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
UDPP. It’s the only primer I’ve used that helps keep my eye makeup lasting from 7am to 3am the next day haha. I’ve never had issues with it blending – I find it’s really creamy and goes on without any issues. Maybe because my lids are oily?
I find that it does absolutely nothing though when it comes to making my shadows more vibrant, whether it’s a MUFE shadow or a L’Oreal shadow, and anything in between. For vibrancy, I dab on some sheer cream eyeshadow all over my lid, and it works beautifully. Been doing that for 2-3 years :)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
I have really hooded eyes so I need a lot of help to stop creasing. I usually UDPP with a PP over it, usually either Soft Ochre (which is really to yellow for me) or Bare Study (too shimmery). My dream PP would be the color of Bare Study in a matte.

Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance.

I USE UDPP THEN BENEFITS BIRTHDAY SUIT. LOVE LOVE LOVE
