I have yet to find a product from MAC that I don't absolutely love. This one I especially love for it's versatility as well as ease of use. I like to use it at the inner corners of the eyes, at the...

It took me a while to learn to use this product. I apply a light layer of paint pot with a 242 brush on the eyelid, then use my fingertip to blend it out. Blending with the brush applied too much...

I just received this product this morning, and at first glance, I was like uh-oh, I don't think this will work for me, but just a few hours later, alas, I am in love with this product! In the pot,...

This is the first paint pot I purchased and it made me a fan. I've since bought 5 more and love them all. Imo they're so much more fun than UDPP because they're more versatile - changing the...

First of all, I think <b>MAC</b>'s website has a good, accurate description of the color. <b>Bare Study</b> is a champagne color with gold and white pearl. It has a frosty finish. The shimmer is...

What I'm struggling with with this product is that it looks so much like Shroom, but not as pale. I don't think I like it enough to buy again. I apply it with MAC 217 brush all over my eye area and...

I really like this! I had to doodle with it to find which application technique works best for me and found that applying it with warm fingertips works best. It extended the life of my eyeshadow...

When I first bought this product, I used it over my UDPP as a base all the time since it's such a neutral color. It wasn't until about a few weeks after that I realized Bare Study is really...

I wanted to love this product as I thought it would simplify my morning routine. I found it looked greyish on my skin tone was very frosty and overall I just wasn't impressed. I did return it.

I was looking for a pretty nude with some sparkle in it. This works perfect for me. I love the color on it's own and mixed with other MAC eyeshadows ( like Sable). As far as an eyeshadow base,...

Epic fail on the bare study from all aspects. The SA sold it to me as a shadow base. FAIL! Using this as a base does NOT increase the longevity or improve the wear of my powder shadows. If...

I had high hopes and expectations from Bare Study but I ended up hating it. The color in the pot is amazing, a shimmery nude-champagne. I thought it's going to be another favorite since I...

I bought this because I needed a neutral color base. It was that, and it has a bit of gold shimmer to it. I really haven't noticed much change with my eye shadows but I don't hate it and it doesn't...

I bought bare study because my eyelids tend to get a little greasy during the day. I'm not sure why people say it does not blend because mine blends like a dream. I have a theory that, similarly to...

I was initially really disappointed with the texture of this Paint Pot. I applied a small amount to my lid and it was not creamy at all. Instead, it went on unevenly and was very difficult to...
