I recently read that cheaper tubes of paint usually contain less pigment. How's the opacity of this brand?

The opacity is good, when not mixed with water. Overall for the price I really like these paints. I used them to paint a rusty bird statue and it covered it nicely. The colors are great too. Just a note the tubes are only .74ounces, so if you want a really opaque painting you made need to go with larger tubes or their jars.

Depends on what you have. If your paint is faded or in bad shape it wont matter. If your looking at a new paint job, it adds depth and gloss to your base color. For a touch up for scratches you'd want to use clear to blend in the repair. I don't however recommend this brand for anything other than small repairs. IT has to much reducer and Flashes (dries) to fast. Normally a fast drying paint is what you want but this stuff is drying as soon as it leaves the gun.

Use the #2 shade(its the darkest one in this bb line) its still pretty light tho but as it oxidizes it'll blend into your skin tone a bit better.

I don't have the Revealed Pallette but this pallet is very good for everyday look and easy to use. I like it more than BH neutral palette. This one is better pigmented

I use this to be portable and I project from behind. So I am not worried about the image quality. The image quality is acceptable to me. If you are thinking of using this at home I would just clean up a wall and just make sure the paint is nice and even. If you are really concerned about image quality then get some flat white paint. If you are using it to be portable and project from the front then there are better options. A screen that is more opaque will give you a better image, but you cannot project from behind. Anytime you lose light you are going to lose image quality. This screen does not reflect all the light. Hopes this helps. I use this to be portable and I project from behind.

Sadly it does not seem to be:( I've owned two tubes bought from ulta before ordering this one...at first when I saw the tube color was a little different I thought maybe they'd repackaged...BUT it doesn't go on the same & the color of the product is whiter

The core is harder than a pastel, but softer and lays down more color than a watercolor pencil. You may not be impressed at first, but when you wet the medium, that is when the Inktense (as in "intense") color surprises you. You get a lot of control with the depth of shade. I love them.

I'm sorry.. I really don't know.. My tube has paint all over it and I am unable to read the label..

Excellent coverage - I thinned the stuff 4 to 1 w/ mineral spirits & a quart covered our 26' sailboat's bottom, including its deep, huge bulb keel, as well as the tip or our rudder. The Rust-oleum got really high scores in a comparative test w/ better known brands & so far, we've been really pleased. We applied two coats from a 2nd can because the paint was so cheap - there's still approx. a pint left over in the 2nd can. I applied the paint w/ a long fiber "fuzzy" roller & the job was easy. Good luck, you'll end up w/ a really hard coating that's almost like a flat finish gel coat.

I have only used this product, but my roommate used my leftovers after using Manic Panic's purple. She says that there is no comparison. Manic Panic's "doesn't last nearly as long" and fades pink, unlike this one. Just note that purple stains things more than other colors.

Not me. Its actually very pigmented and smooth. The colors blend good. I wouldn't say it's on the same level to urban decays products but more on the bh cosmetics level and with everything that comes in it, it is most defitnitly worth the money

I have done that with other brands no problem! just condition really well. my gripe with this one is that it bleeds and there isnt much of it. it's really a pretty colour though.

My opinion, it's more of a touch up paint and not a filler. Works great as a paint but deep gouges or chips it will only cover or blend with the environment. Hope this helps.

This particular one is good and so is Essie"s Limo-scene. Essie's if put on thinly is very sheer whereas a heavier application makes it whiter and more opaque. Both colors need a minimum of two coats and most streak if not applied very slowly and carefully.

Yes, you can see the color of the liquid in the tube. It is not crystal clear transparent like acrylic though.

I haven't had any problems with my set of paints... I just give them a little stir. Maybe you got a bad batch?
