I do like this product, but another one to look at is Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin ($17) which combines incredible staying power with a shimmering champagne hue that complements...

I've been through at least two tubes of Bare Canvas, and will continue to use this paint until the day I die! I have tons of MAC paints and paint pots, and reach for this and Sublime Nature the...

I have been a huge fan of paint pots as they provide a good coloured base for powder eyeshadows, but I have not found a "natural" colour as Bare Study was too shimmery and Painterly too pink. So,...

I felt like I 'owed' it to this product to write a review. I use it every single day!!! I have pale skin (NW20) and this pale yellow nude lightens and evens out my eyelids, and REALLY makes my...

This is a great color! I use it as a base, and it looks really great on my NW 20 skin. I like the fact that it is in a tube (which is going to last forever). I will definitely repurchase.

i don't use this too often so I usually forget how much I like this color. Its like a shimmery Beige and so pretty. I use it as a base but I think its really pretty by itself as well

I got this several years ago after having a makeover at the MAC counter. I didn't use it for a long time, but recently pulled it out to play with and I loved it. I honestly can't believe that I've...

I got this hoping to use it as a good base, but it was sooo close to my skin color that it looked like a concealer. This will probably look better on people with darker skin, but this color did...

I can't believe I've never reviewed this stuff. This has been my staple eyeshadow base for about 6 years. My lids are oily, and shadow alone creases on me almost immediately, but on me, this stuff...

I've recently bought bare canvas to use as an eyeshadow base under pink tone eyeshadows. At the MAC store it looked like it had a pink sheen to it. When I tried it at home, it just looked like...

I'm sad to read that these paints are being discontinued. They have always been such a stronghold in my MAC collection. I really like using them as shadow bases. <p> Bare Canvas is a light...

I first bought this product as a shadow primer/base. The MAC artist said it would prevent creasing. For many months, it did! I was very pleased with it. Less is more with this product. Lately,...

i have this product and i'd say that it's kinda like udpp because it makes eyeshadow show up more and it prevents creasing.

A must have and go to every time I wear eyeshadow. Sometimes it's the only shadow I wear. A little goes a long way. It evens out the skin tone around the eye and binds eyeshadow to the skin to...

I decided to buy Bare Canavas based on the reviews I read here. I like this product, it's a nice alternative to my beloved UD PP and ArtDeco e/s base. On the other hand, unfortunately, I do think...
