I was pleasantly surprised by it's color (rosey neutral, soft pearl), consistency (very smooth application, super easy to apply, a little goes a long way) and the fact that I have oily lids and there was absolutely no crease after even 12 hrs of wear. I'm a single working mama so I'm always on the prowl for a bargain. I got this product and an eyeliner pot at Walgreen's in a "buy on get one free" sale. SWEET! I also came across some Maybelline Dream Mousse Shadow pots in Mint Dream, Lilac Cloud and Turquoise Breeze (all for a smashing price of $1.67 each). These come out very sheer (unless you apply alot of product) and pearly, very pretty! I liked them also for a base, but I did notice a bit of a crease after the day was done. One more product I have been liking for a base are Maybelline's Cooling Shadow/Liner. They have a nice feel (they are actually "cooling" when applied) but they are tad bit dry, at first. They are long wearing and my fav right now is Cold As Ice 05. It's a bright, sparkly white crayon similar to NYX jumbo glitter liner (but the glitter is smaller and more blendable). I'm going to try UDPP in my next Sephora order. Have you tried Benefit's "Boi-ing" or "Ooh La Lift" shadow base? Hi Marlena,

And it made me so happy because I don't have many MAC eyeshadows, yet somehow already have Espresso, Satin Taupe and Vanilla! Gotta love the SAs hehe! If I could only get one or two more shadows, which ones would you recommend that would go well with the three I already have? Thanks in advance :) This video was fantastic!

I'll most definitely have to try it. I, too, have combo skin with an oily t-zone. I really struggle with my foundation during the summer because I get the Exxon Valdes effect about 2 hours into my application when wearing full or med coverage foundation. I decided to go with a cheap primer (Revlon $11), but it made my face feel gritty, smelled funky and if I applied even a tad too much my foundation would dry and flake. I've even tried a very thin layer of Milk of Magnesia (works good as a mask, but NOT a primer). I also tried Avon Apri Glow Skin Enhancer. It did even out my skin tone and helped some with controling the shine and it did help to minimize my pores a bit. I got a sample of the SB PhotoFinish in my Sephora order the other day, we shall see how that goes, as well. The search continues :) Hi Marlena,
