Shout-Out to the MAC Cream Colour Bases!

May 15th, 2018 by Karen 8 Comments

MAC Cream Colour Base = LOVE (palette kitties in the bag are from the Palette Kitty Tote in the store)

Old-school MAC right hurr! It’s been a minute since I’ve talked about the Cream Colour Bases, but I’ve been wearing Improper Copper and Vintage Rose as cream blushes lately and just remembered what makes them so, so good.

Hello, my pretties!

Not all of the shades are eye, cheek and lip safe.

These multitasking creams moonwalk across the skin and stay put on my lids, lips and cheeks. You can easily blur the edges with your finger, too, even if you consider yourself blending-challenged.

I wear Shell and Hush as eyeshadow bases and highlighters all the time, and I give them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ out of 5 hearts for being awesome.

Do you have a fave? Which one, and how do you use it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Are these similar in texture to the paint pots? I use painterly as a base most days, and under eye concealer. I’ll have to check out the bases.

      Hi Lisa,

      No, they’re thinner and “wetter” than the paint pots. If you have dry skin they’re lovely as an eye base; if you have oil skin you may need to sandwich a primer underneath and powder on top to keep them in place.

    Hi Ms. Karen,

    I have root – but I actually don’t ever use it. I’ve tried using it for a primer on my eyes… but my shadow creases? It just sits with my other make up and catches dust.. I guess I’m doing it wrong? I thought it would be great as a wear alone easy eye – but it’s too tacky for that to me. Help?

      Hi Gina,

      I kinda like that it’s semi-glossy and moves around if you wear it by itself… But you know me, I like those edgy/editorial makeup. Try layering an industrial strength eye primer underneath it (NARS makes a great one, it comes in a white tube, but anything transparent that’s designed to hold eye makeup in place will do). You can also try setting it with a powder eyeshadow.

    I haven´t use any of the cream color bases, but if I end up getting one, I´ll go for Improper Copper, because the name makes me laugh.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
