    this product is really great! does require some work after the first few months though, as the texture changes. it glides on GREAT when you first buy it, glitter is evenly distributed etc....

    Bare Study was recommanded to me by the makeup artist, but I didn't give it much thought at first. I wanted to purchase Soft Ochre (which to my mistake) I disliked a lot because of the matte yellow...

    I love Paint Pots because it stays put. I have this in Painterly also and Painterly gives a more nude/matte look. Barestudy gives it a more sheen and light bronze look. I use this primary as a...

    I use this product as a primer for my eyeshadow/pigments. Although I do like it, and it doesn't crease, I have found other things that give the shadows and pigments much better color payoff.

    I use this is as an eyeshadow primer and highlighter for the brow bone. This keeps my shadow in place for about 7-8hrs--anything longer than that and it creases on me. You have to get a good amount...

    I love this Paint Pot just as much as I love Soft Ochre! I always pair them together. I put Soft Ochre all over my eye area and then I put Bare Study just on my lid, slightly above my crease. It...

    I can see why this is such a popular product however there are several problems with this. Firstly, if you have oily lids, forget about it. It sends to be eaten up by the oil and is gone in half a...

    I probably don't use MAC as much as many on here seem to- don't get me wrong I like the brand there are so many fun things. I'd heard about the paint pots and I thought I would try one. I LOVE...

    Nice nude eyeshadow base with shimmer. I wear it when I want to jazz up my neutral daytime look a bit. I use it rarely, but I will repurchase.

    First of all - you cannot apply too much of this ! I think that is why so many people have problems. I use this as an eye base, its a great shimmery colour for my fair (N4) skin... I hardly...

    This stuff starts out sticky so the eyeshadow will stick to your eyelids and then dries so that the shadow stays in place. This is exactly what you would want an eyeshadow base to do! I put it on...

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this paint pot. I like wearing it under matte shadows to make them have a little zing to them. I love paint pots and wish I could have them all!

    I don't really like this shade, probably because I'm looking for more neutral non-shimmery shades. Bare study is shimmery, so if you like that, this is the product for you. However, it does make my...
