It works well with the Bare Escentuals Wet/Dry shadow brush.

The makeup guru at my local Sephora told me I could use my clean fingertips, but I don't think the shadow spreads as nice as it does with a brush. I recommend an angled brush, but you can blend with your fingertips.

I am quite the germaphobe but I would have to disagree with Alraina
who says that using your finger will make your product go bad not to mention build up bacteria in your product.

As long as you follow the number one rule (Always use clean fingers/wash hands before use or use a hand sanitizer) and as long as you do NOT share your makeup with other individuals, your makeup will be just fine and last just as long whether you use a brush or your finger.

One thing I do like to do however, is to either use a sanitizing wipe or hand sanitizer on a tissue and rub over My eye makeup products/lipsticks/liners etc. after each use before sealing up and putting away in My makeup bag.

Clean application every time. :-)

As far as the question is concerned, I like to use a brush (hard angle brush such as one you would find in Benefits Smokin eyes kit) for the liner and My finger for the shadow application and blending. Be sure to use the finger with the softest tip as the skin on the eye and beneath the eye is the thinnest and most delicate skin on your body. Be gentle with these areas and never rub or tug in a harsh manner when dealing with such a delicate area.

One of the fun things about makeup is experimenting, so do just that and see how many looks you can achieve using both your fingertip and your brush and go with that.

You know YOU best and what works for you best. Have fun out there! :-)

i like the product much better when i use the talent brush- smoother, lighter application

This product is so versatile because it can applied with your fingers if you're on the go or with a brush if you have more time. I personally find it easier to apply with my fingers, but if you prefer using a brush I'd recommend using the benefit talent brush it's great.

i always found it better with fingertips, just make sure ur hands are clean

Always use a brush, you can contaminate your make up and it will make it go bad faster not to mention give you infections and harbor lots of bacteria in your make up. Some times sponge applicators work really well for these types of eye shadows for me. But MAC #217 is the best one have found to work and I love it, it has really fine, denesly packed bristles in a oval shape, perfect application everytime!

With cream shadows, I find that it's easier to apply with a brush and blend with my ring finger.

Either way works great for me.But i would recommend using a brush just because it goes on thinner and smoother.Its helpful to blend different ones together with your finger though.

A brush doesn't come with the product, but I apply it with the Stila double ended shadow brush #30, and it looks great.

I use rsvp alone on casual days and as a base when I add get figgy as a contour color. Really looks great with hazel/green eyes.

I have hazel eyes with lots of green in the center and a dark rim on the outer part of my eye and I think the flatter me also emphasizes the green in my eyes because it has a pinkish mauve tint which looks great for hazel eyes.

I would go with Get Figgy (shimmery plum) or Strut (smokey denim). Both would look great with hazel eyes and will add tons of dimension to your eyes.

I use Get Figgy for my hazel eyes and it looks great.

i almost always use my finger becuase its so easy to just put your finger in and rub on your eye. plain shadow and highlighting is easy with your finger. if you want to speciffically use it for under eye or crease i would use a brush

I've applied it both ways. i usually use a brush when I want to build up a more intense look

You can use a brush to apply the shadow but i start off by using my ring finger and then blend it in with a brush.

I have not done that but I don't think it would be too hard to do, I think with the texture of the product you would still get enough on and be able to blend.

Yes! I use UDPP and then R.S.V.P. under shadows and get really great wear time, longer than if I'd just used UDPP. On its own, it creases on me, but with the Primer Potion, I get about 9 or 10 hours of wear.

I say YES! I have very oily skin and eyelids (ugh) and I love these shadows. I wear them more than powder eyeshadow now, because they REALLY stay on! I will say that I use an eyeshadow primer (Too Faced's Shadow Insurance) and it really stays put- no creases, no sliding off, no nothing!

Actually, YES. I have horribly oily eyelids (I have to use Urban Decay shadow primer or in a few hours any shadow is a mess) But this stuff doesn't budge on me! Granted, I'm not glopping it on. But if you put a normal amount, it stays.

No, but for me, the eyeshadow usually fades a little by the end of the day anyway, so I use urban decay primer and it stays on and doesn't fade.

No.

It seems to be. It seems to stay nice all day.

I use Towne Car - it looks shimmery in the pot, but not once it's on.

Hey there sweety
I like the Venetian Brown.....doesn't have any shimmer in it.
Hope you find something you like. Good Luck

I currently have Skinny Jeans, Strut, Honey Bunny, and Birthday Suit. My eyes are dark brown and all of these colors work well with them. Brown eyes can honestly pull off anything. But if you want your eyes to pop out more, strut is nice because the blue enhances the golden tones found in brown eyes. But I like all 4 to achieve all kinds of looks (smokey, soft smokey, natural, etc.)

Dear Sister,
Any of the Benefit colors will work: Flatter Me, Get Figgy, Marry Up and Bunny Hop are terrific on my dark brown eyes. Since my skin is oily I need a shadow that won't wilt or crease. This is the stuff. And I'm an "advanced" woman so I know my make up. Good Luck !!! Hope you find a color that works for you.

I have blue-grey eyes and I use the plum and pink colors that they have. Skinny Jeans (navy) would be flattering as well.

I have blue eyes and blonde hair and I use "Flatter Me". I'm a warm skin tone and I think it looks really good!! Its kind of a purple/brown/pink all in one.

I own both paint pots and BeneFit's cream shadows and find them to be similar products. A lot of BeneFit's cream shadows (if not all) are frosted. MAC has about 3 paint pots with cream finishes and maybe one with a satin finish. All of the rest of the paint pots have frost finish. Most of the colorful ones are limited edition too, so if you are want a certain color (green, purple, pink, coral, etc.), you'd better hope that you find it in a CCO or that MAC releases it in one of their many collections during the year. MAC's paint points do not claim to be creaseless, but they make great bases as does BeneFit's cream shadows. Both products can go on sheer and are buildable. MAC does give you 0.17 oz for 16.50 compared to BeneFit's 0.16 oz for $19. It all depends on what you are looking for.

The paint pots are a lot more pigmented. The benefit products tend to be shimmery/frosted.

Wow. I paid $19 buck for one RSVP. That being said you do not want old product. My first RSVP was pretty hard when I opened the box for the first time and I exchanged for a new one at Sephora. This product does not have a long shelf life, and you need to keep the lid really sealed (and then again, it does not have a long shelf life)

That was a deal?! :(
I don't think so anymore because I paid $17 for one.
