    haha... reading these reviews it seems like you either REALLY LOVE bare canvas or you really hate it... i've decided you're more likely to love it if (1) you have problems with oily lids and e/s...

    What a great product -- I use it all over my lids every day before powder shadow as a base (no creasing and the shadow lasts all day) or sometimes on weekends as an allover lid color. It matches my...

    Great as a base, however for me, is too matte to use as an eyeshadow on it's own. Makes eyeshadow stick like glue, but also mattifies it VERY slightly, so apply a little more shadow than you would...

    I absolutely love this product. I use bare canvas as a base just about everyday. I find that I can use it as a bas for any eyshadow. It does not seem to affect the color of my eyeshadow. It is a...

    I usually use a powder shadow as a base, but this is a great alternative if you want budge-proof eyecolor. I find this is excellent as a base! It's a nice neutral color that can go with anything,...

    This is my holy grail base. All shadows creased on me by lunch, and disapeared by the end of the school day. This has kept my eyeshadow more-or-less the way I applied it in the morning all day. ...

    I have very oily lids that tend to crease my eyeshadows 2-4 hours after aplication. After using this for the first time today, I have finally found my HG! It kept my eyeshadow crease-free and...

    I love this paint! I'm a MAC NC25-30 and I use it as a e/s when I want "your lids but better look". It matches so perfectly my colouring! I use it also as a concealer and I think this is the best...

    I tried this for the first time today, and an entire twelve hours passed before I noticed even a hint of creasing. It doesn't have to be pretty--it works! Update 05/30/05: Unfortunately I am...

    I am one of the few who is not desperately in love with Bare Canvas. I do like the creamy texture & the slightly pearlized quality. I don't find that this really prevents creasing, however. It does...

    After hearing how much I should use this for a base, I was interested. Needless to say, glad I didn't purchase this. (it was a freebie) This looks HORRIBLE on my nc40 skintone. It looks like I...

    This is my third paint, my first two being Stilife and Canton Candy. I didn't particularly care for either of them, so I swapped them away. I kept hearing all these raves for Bare Canvas as a base,...

    This is great as a base, or just on it's own on a "natural look" makeup day. Even on it's own it just brightens up and smoothes out the eye area. It really does make eyeshadow last longer too. ...

    After reading all the rave reviews, I decided to try this out. I am so glad I did! This is a great base for e/s, and it stays on all day (and so does the e/s you put over it!). When used as a base,...

    I have both Bare Canvas and Untitled paints. They're great eye shadow bases. Bare Canvas is a skin toned shade that has slight shimmer. I found it to be more neutral than Untitled. Bare Canvas...

    Almost forgot about this one. Bare Canvas is a good match for my skin tone, a tad pink but close enough for an e/s base. It holds those dang BE glimmers on really well, and *nothing* else I've...
