    These are fun to play around with, but I believe they are only good as bases. Bare Canvas is the "nude" one (for us mostly white girls, anyway) and can be used under mostly anything. I still prefer...

    This was my eyeshadow base of choice for years, but I have since switched to Urban Decay Primer Potion which lasts and works a lot better in my opinion.

    Bare Canvas is total HG...I’m not even interested in looking for something to replace it. I’d be absolutely distraught if MAC ever discontinues this and I can see myself wearing Bare Canvas...

    Bare canvas alone doesn't work for me yet layered over UDPP it makes eyeshadows stay put like nothing else. UDPP alone, as a base, can make shadows a little tricky to blend. That's where bare...

    I'm a fair girl, and this color really is a 'bare canvas' for whatever shadow I layer on top. Has no color on me but holds the shadows nicely so they stay all day. Reminds me of concealer a little...

    First off, I would like to say that I do not have *super* oily lids. This stuff CREASED!! I didn't even apply e/s on top, cuz I just wanted to see how it would stand up without anything. End of...

    i don't know if i would actually repurchase this. it's a very good neutral base for my fair warm skintone, and it has a very slight shimmer to it, but that is hardly noticeable at all. i do like...

    I love this as a base, it makes my eyeshadow so vibrant and keeps it from creasing. No complaints except for the packaging which can be aggravating at times, it's cute but definitely not practical.

    I love this stuff! Pros: Makes your eyeshadow stay on literally all day without creasing. Fantastic base for eyeshadow. Like the color, which has the slightest hint of shimmer to it. ...

    This product did nothing for me. Did not help seal my shadow, enhance colors, or even helped my overall makeup look. I'm in the minority, but the paints just feel like an unneccessary step. If I...

    My never-fail go-to base when I need my mu to last, because with this it certainly does. no matter what I put over it or what the weather is like. Perfect shade for my NC20 skin as a barely-there...

    I am a MAC fanatic. I use Bare Canvas as a primer. It helps make eyeshadow pigments pop and stay. I wish the packaging was better. The tube can get messy and sometimes too much of the product comes...

    I really love this as an eye shadow base. I live in Florida at it is the only thing that has kept my eye shadow put. It helps with creasing and it just makes everything look better on my eyes. A...

    I love MAC paint as a base. My eyeshadow never creases and stays looking the way I applied it all day. The paint goes on creamy but dries quickly and creates a nice, smooth "bare canvas" for my eye...

    This is my staple in my everyday mu. color is light beige with fine shimmers. it prevents creasing, e/s looks more vibrant and helps e/s stay longer on lids. be careful about applying less product,...

    I only have one Paint, but I probably wouldn't repurchase from this line of products again. By itself, it doesn't do anything to prevent my e/s from creasing - I thought it would because a lot of...

    Very nice - stops my eye shadows from creasing and keeps the colour staying the same all day. You only need a tiny tiny amount (you shouldnt hardly even see it on your lids). I like it and will...
