I have this in Chartru, and I love it under green eyeshadows! Application is a little hard to get the hang of, and sometimes too much product comes out of the tube.

If you are short on time, MAC paints are not for you. Just too high maintenance...its an awesome product once you get the hang of it. Great coverage and staying power. What I have to do is gently...

Okay, perhaps I was a little harsh in denouncing the Paints in favor of Urban Decay’s Primer Potion. I mean, I still stand by my assertion that Paints aren’t all that when it comes to a...

I have this in portraiture and I HATE IT! It is the WORST orange color on my lids and no matter what you put on top of it, it shines right through and looks awful! The MA at the MAC counter...

I had trouble with these at first but the MA at the MAC counter told me to mix them with a touch of moisturizer to keep them wet longer. I love these. They don't crease and they done rub off.

These are an absolute staple in my make-up kit. I have every color (yep, these are an addiction for me) because they are an incredibly versatile product. Bare Canvas is a staple base. The other...

Well, I have to admit my newly affirmed love for MAC's paints. I originally bought Bare Canvas as a neutral base, it kept my e/s from creasing, but was never really impressed. Then I received the...

The packaging sucks because sometimes too much product comes out, you only need a TINY amount anyway. It makes eyeshow last a lot longer, no creasing, and you only need very little eye shadow...

Copy-pasted from a review specifically for "Bare Canvas" paint: Paints are like the goodness of rainbows and starlight and weekends all in one glorious product of glory. I'm not kidding. I...

A light application of this goes a long way. The paints go on very nicely and the colour stays put all day. A lot of eyeshadows don't show on my olive skin tone but these look great.

A metal tube--what a HORRIBLE idea! What marketing genius thought up this one? Why can't MAC just use a plastic tube like they used for the cheek paints? Your eyeshadows will not budge if you use...

Well, I thought this was a great concept. I tried several colors, they all seem to crease on me and not last very long. And after a couple of uses, it seems the tube splits and half of the paint...

I bought it for the package. I love the little tube, although it is not that practical. I really wish it worked, but the corners of my eyes started to hurt, and I had to take it of. Grat shades,...

I have Mac Paint in Graphito and gave it 444Y. Good: I love the colour, it's very beautiful and goes on sheer or thick. It stays on great and does not smudge. I can use it as a liner or a shadow....

Got this in Bamboom. Works well on my NC30 skin. I've been using it alone for a natural look on mu 'bum' days. It's great for layering with my other browns and coppers. Staying power is amazing!

I don't know why everyone loves this product so much. When I first opened it, the tube farted and a huge amount came out. I applied some to my eyes, and it dried before I smoothed it over my entire...

I agree with most here: the product is awesome but the I could do without the oozing. I tried bare canvas but it looked pale and ashy on my NW 25 skin so I got stilife instead.

MAC paints work wonders for anyone with oily lids. My eyeshadow creases after an hour or two, but with these the shadow stays put. They work great for a light base all over or to deepen a shadow...
