    MAC's Bare Study is a creamy pearl base/cream eyeshadow. It's absolutely amazing. Extremely similar to Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten, so if you're looking to buy that, I'd suggest MAC's instead - the...

    A creamy pearl shadow base. I usually wear this all over my lid and under my browbone and then pile on a dark shade on my lid or in the crease. Eyeshadow sticks to this base so well esp. the MAC...

    If you are in your 20's or younger (or have no problem with frost) this is a beautiful color. It looks icy champagne in the pot, but goes on with a slight golden sheer champagne tone to it...no...

    I really enjoy Bare Study! It lasts long, applies well, and can be worn alone or under eyeshadow. The texture is creamy and once on the lid, drys nicely without any blotchy spots. This is a product...

    If you are looking for a good base- this is it. I love it much more than my UDPP, and it does a better job of not creasing (like UDPP does for me). The color is simply beautiful and looks great...

    I have oily skin, including my eyelids. No matter how much I prep them with foundation, powder, or primer, my eyeshadow always seems to crease within minutes of application. My small, hooded eyes...

    I hate it alone just doesnt work for my dark skin. But it does turn all your mattes into metallics so you have a whole other set of shadows for that I love it!

    Bare Study is my first Paint Pot - hard to get in NZ, only 2 or 3 stores in the country stock MAC (which is very annoying, grump!) and it's $42 NZD. Ouch. Works well though, the colour is nothing...
