    Love, love, love this paint pot. It is light and shimmery and works perfectly as a base for gold/taupe/neutral looks. I don't get much color payoff using it alone but I love it as a base and/or...

    I had originally meant to get soft ochre, but I ended up getting bare study. Soft ochre was a little too light for what I was looking for on my NC30-35 skin tone. Bare study is a very nice...

    My HG primer. The colour is a light champagne, very creamy and slightly shimmery (just the right amount, not glittery). It is easy to apply, whether with a brush or with the fingers. I apply it...

    This is my first paint pot. I didn't know what expect from it because I knew I needed an eye base/primer and my friends told me to get it from mac. So I asked the MA at the store to help me pick...

    Now that winter has rolled around and my tan has faded, I started using this more and more everyday for a neutral, going to school look. Bare study is a very pretty pale yellow-based champagne...

    This is a really pretty color! The staying power is unbelievable and it works so well as a base. The color is beautiful but hard for me to work with as I wear a lot of grays and plums. I should...

    Fantastic! Great shimmery colour, and works well as a base. Stays put ALLLL DAY. No creasing or smudging. Works brilliantly as a base, or on it's own. Love love love it!

    This is my first product in my foray into cream bases/primers and so far I'm very pleased. This is soft and shimmery and provides a solid base for my eyeshadows. I wear it by itself on my lids for...

    I have tons of paint pots and this is the most recent one. I really love it. It's perfect for "waking up" my eyes and works well as a primer. I'd traditionally use Soft Ochre or Painterly for...
