I decided to compare pictures to answer Phyrra's question.
Now I don't remember what shadow base I used.* I'll check the name of what I think it was and add it later. But afterwards I used some of my sparkly nude mix. I use this mix because I am so fair that deeper colors will grab on me if I don't lay down a dry foundation. (I also use eye cream on my lids.) (If your lids are oily, you will have to find other products -- then let me know what works. I think using a second mix as I do would work.) [* I think I might have used Trish McAvoy. The trouble with this one is that I never know how much to use, and then I don't pay attention necessarily to how much drift/slide I get over the day to know whether to reach for it again or not.]
All colors posted at my FOTD which is coming up shortly.
Taken early this morning:
Lippie: Too Faced Diamond Gloss Fire, straight up, nothing added
At 5:30 added this lippie
Lippie: NYX Lips Iced Lavender -- pretty color, almost brown with some lavender -- the full face picture looked TOO MUCH -- but I was swatching the color from my amazing NYX haul.
Taken about 8:30 after eating, etc. not standing in the same place as this morning:
You can see there was a slight drift on my lids, not enough to worry about. When it is more, sometimes my eyelids get irritated -- I wonder then if it is the base or if it is the glitter (is it really smooth or is it cutting?) or if it is the particular color range.
Over all, my eyes have looked perfect today, not drifted, and the crease is identical to this morning. So I think part of the difference in looks in this photo is where I was standing and how the light grabbed from the camera.
I've found Nude Frost (in a pot) works best for me for Fyrinnae, Meow and AL though I use others on occasion. I've also had drift with it, and serious irritation, redness of skin, but it appears not to be the Nude Frost. When that happens, I go back to my tried and true shadows for a day or so, until it clears up.
What base do you use?
