    I cannot say enough good things about this product--I love ALL of the paints. I use bare canvas ( or another colour) before ANY eyeshadow application because it keeps the shadow on ALL DAY--even...

    awesome eyeshadow base, but pricey. the packaging is also kind of crappy, because you need to put VERY LITTLE PRESSURE on the tube and sometimes a bunch of product just comes pouring out - you...

    I always use an eyeshadow base cuz I have super oily skin. I got this product cuz it's very neutral in color. It was really dry, crumbly texture, not smooth texture. It was also super light,...

    I LOVE this stuff! I use it every day under my eyeshadow, and I get absolutely no creasing. My eyeshadow really sticks, too. I can sleep with it on and it looks just as good the next morning. I...

    Bare Canvas is basically a nude paint that is intended to work as a base. It could go under any color eyeshadow as it is the perfect nude shade to match the eyelids, but that is really the only...

    I use this mainly to neutralize the "teabags" on my eyelids. Evens out the whole eye area and makes me look more awake. So on me this works as a stand alone eyeshadow but works fantastic on days...

    When I first used this product it worked fantastically for me for setting eyeshadow. My eyeshadow would stay as perfect as if I just put it on all day long. I recently bought it again, and maybe...

    this is not my favorite primer... my shadow would flake off and if you use your shadows wet then it creases and flakes off more

    This was the first paint I tried. I am not a fan of the packaging because it's very prone to product waste. Secondly, this shade is just too pale and matte against my NC30 skintone. I definitely...

    I use this as an eyelid primer - it perfectly neutralises any reddish discoloration on my eyelids.

    I never have a problem with creasing or with my e/s not staying put during the day. I got this mostly to make my e/s colors more true and vibrant. Recommended by the MA. I wasn't very impressed...

    This is a great base, I use it every day. But if used alone, powder eye shadows don't stick very well as it is very dry, so I put a cream color base over the paint and it works PERFECTLY as a base....

    HG product! (MMM, NC20-30, blonde/green) I gave 4 stars because the tube packaging tends to leak...all over my makeup bag...not a good thing.

    I use it everyday before I put on my eyeshadow. I have noticed that it only works well under MAC shadows. Other shadows don't benefit from it. UPDATE: it dries out my eyelids and the actual...

    I have mixed feelings about Bare Canvas Paint. I like the way it makes my eyeshadows look and wear when I use it as a base for my eyelids, but I don't like the way it applies. It is rather "dry"...
