![]() You can chose among matte, shimmering or frosty finishes. The Paints, which actually are cream eyeshadows packaged in a tube, feature a creamy texture and are available in different colors. The Sans Soucis Base has a very creamy texture and does not contain any oils, so that combination neither dries out nor makes my eyelids greasy. I had a similar experience using MAC PPE, my skin did not feel quite as parched, but still dried out to a level that was uncomfortable. The TFSI is not quite as bad as the UDPP, but both products are a no go for me personally. Regarding those facts, it’s no wonder both bases won’t work for me as the turn my eyelid skin into desert lands, even if I use a special moisturizing product before applying the base, my eyelids are extremely dried out. Maybe it’s because I am over 40 and wearing contact lenses, so my eyes are quite sensitive and the skin on my eyelids quite dry. I don’t really share the buzz about UDPP and TFSI. I actually have tried them all, except for the NARS base. Personally, I haven’t experienced any color fading or washed out effect with the paints, so that’s why they are definitely a part of my Holy Grail collection. You might think now how is it possible, that there are these completely different opinions about the paints? Well, I think the reason is to be found in our skin chemistry, which is a very individual factor and some colors react very differently depending on the skin the some in contact with. It seems some of them actually experience a reversed effect, meaning that color intense eyeshadows actually fade out on a paint base, as the paint swallows too much of the actual eyeshadow color. But, to be honest, the main reason why some beauties are not fond of using the paints as a base is the feature to intensify the eyeshadow colors, the so called color popping effect. ![]() The answer to that question in my opinion is plain simple: YES! Eyeshadow Primer/Bases not only prevent your eyeshadow from creasing, but they also intensify the brilliance and luminosity of your eyeshadow as well as prevent your shadow from fading or greying out throughout the day. I’ve linked previous reviews of my favorite beauty discoveries for 2014 below.There have been numerous discussions all around the globe w hether or not it is necessary to use an eyeshadow base or not. I think the holiday sets this season were the best ones I’ve seen to date. There have been so many great beauty releases and innovations this year. ![]() ![]() I have a roundup of beauty highlights in 2014. ![]()
