I have Bare Study for shimmery looks and Painterly for a matte effect - I love them both!

Because my Urban Decay Primer potion couldn't prevent any creases, I decided to try something new. I heard about MAC's paint pots from a lot of makeup guru's and since I liked shimmery nude bases,...

Bare Study is great as a light shimmery base under more vibrant eyeshadows. I often dab some in the corner of my eye to brighten up my eyes or on my browbone as a highlight too. Overall, I would...

Be forewarned, this product looks shimmery on the eye. If you do not like shimmer, then you may not like this product so I highly encourage you to go to a MAC store and swatch it on your skin. I...

If I had time to review all my paint pots, I would give them all perfect scores *except* this one. It's so much drier/different texture and doesn't work well with my other eyeshadows, etc. My other...

Bare Study is my favourite paint pot. It is exactly as MAC describes it: "Soft beige wth gold pearl". It is smooth and easy to apply. I love how it leaves a pretty sheen that shows through your...

Love this! It reminds me of UDPP in Sin. It's smooth and creamy and subtle. Can be worn alone or used as a primer. Ingenious.

I use this as a base underneath my eye shadow and it really makes the colors pop. I haven't had a problem with it creasing. When I bought it the girl in the store recommended it to me because I was...

This paint pot is amazing. Give a nice light peachy pearl color. Formula is creamy. The only down fall is that if you want to wear this as just an eyeshadow is that you will have to apply a base....

I'm going to start by saying MAC in Australia... $_$!!! It's soooooo expensive. $35 for this little thing seems to be a bit extreme. However, this product does the trick of providing a nice base in...

I have Paintearly and I liked the reviews about this paint pot, so I bought this one. It's a beautiful, shimmery color but unfortunately this one creases on my eyelid. Not after 3-4 hours of course...

These are $16.50 and come in little 5g-glass pots w/screw on lids. Bare Study is a sheer colored champagne with quite a bit of glimmer. I usually wear Too Faced Shadow Insurance as the primer...

The lady at MAC basically shoved this down my throat, but I'm so glad she did! It's a beautiful color alone, and adds so much to my other shadows. They come up more vibrant, and stay longer. It...
