    Bare Canvas was my first paint purchase. I've read that it probably the most versatile base being that it is a nude-ish color so it doesn't change the color of shadows, but I saw that it dulled...

    I use this as a highlighter over my brow bone and eye lid, sometimes as an eye shdaow base. I really like the color and staying power.

    This is a nice base. Keeps eyeshadow from wearing off easily. If it was a bit darker i'd use it alone because it does have a nice natural finish.

    I used Bare Canvas as an eyeshadow primer for my NC44 skin for months, but kept going around and around, back to a Shadestick (which are too shimmery and too light, plus I found I was going through...

    I love the colour which is nude with beautiful light shimmer, looks very natural and brighens your eyes up. However I think it doesn't work on oily lids like mine: I did not use any eyeshadow on...

    I'm on the fence on these eye paints. I have to wear an eyeshadow base because my lids are veiny and eyeshadow will just not stay on. I love the color of Bare Canvas and Untitled, but the texture...

    I thought I would be smart and squeeze a small strip onto the back of my hand (like where everyone tests makeup) and apply it from there. I used a large concealing brush made of Taklon and went at...

    Unfortunately, my first experience with paints has been disappointing. I bought Bare Canvas to use as an e/s base but I think my eyelids are too dry for it. It's not a creamy product that you can...

    I like Bare Canvas much better than Urban Decay Primer Potion. Both primers last about the same amount of time on me, a good 5-6 hours until minimal creasing sets in. But the deal breaker for me...

    I'll have to update this review later, since I just opened my "Bare Canvas." My first impression is very, very good. I bought this with the idea of using it as an eyeshadow base, and I think it...

    I use this everyday as a base. It has changed my whole attitude towards eyeshadow! Until I started using this all eyeshadows would end up migrating to my crease within an hour or two and I ended...

    Though this goes on a bit light for me (NC 40/olive), it is truly the best base for e/s if you want the true color of the shadow to appear and last all day. I do not see the shimmers at all,...

    This is a great eyeshadow base for many reasons. The first is that it intensifies the eyeshadows you layer over it. Second, it stays put all day, as does the layered shadows. And finally, when used...

    Once you apply this, it stays on all day long. It is a soft creamy beige that is kind of a task to remove from the painters tube style container. At first, I squeezed out too much. But this is a...

    I only bought this a few days ago, but I must say so far I am impressed. Much much much better on my eyes than UD Primer Potion (*gag). I've recently discovered that my eyelids are more...

    I am very happy with this product. I use it as a base. The color tends to even out my eyelid area, to a neutral soft beige. The texture is great and if blended, doesn't seem to crease. IMO it takes...

    I love MAC paints - especially bare canvas. I love revlons cream shadows - but they crease like mad. I apply bare canvas to my lids with a brush and then apply the revlon shadows and voila. ...

    Not much to say about this eyeshadow base that I use daily, except that it is my HG. Hate the packaging.

    This is my Holy Grail eyeshadow base. It is a nice light tan color, with a tiny bit of shimmer in it. On my NW20 skin it is almost the same color as my eyelids. For a base it works great! I have...
