Then again, I don't think I want to try a used one or use a sample in the store. Which do you prefer and why? I'm assuming you can wear them as liners or shadows by the colors I've seen online. Is this correct? How do you apply them? Do they blend well or do you blend them at all? Do they feel heavy on your lids?

You can use paint pots as eyecolors, too, but typically, it's bases.

It'll even help cover up some of the worst of the dark circles under my eyes if I pat it there. It's wondermous. Indianwood is another gorgeous one.

I use Blackground (a pure black paint pot) as a base for when I do black/dark eyeshadows and I really want the colors to pop. I use Indianwood paint pots (a deep gold) when I want gold-ish colors to pop. Soft Ochre is good for neutrals you want to pop. I have a gorgeous teal color that I will use for blues. If you want something that will help colors pop, try NYX Jumbo sticks. I use a separate primer under them, but they are cheap (way cheaper than MAC!) and they offer great color. I use the NYX pencil in Milk (a white shade) when I want lighter colors to show up well, and it's wonderful!
