I had high hopes for this, but the color payoff isn't the best. It's more sparkly and less shimmery than I wanted. I wanted more color payoff while using a tiny bit of product. I was looking for...

I love my paint pots. They don't crease on my eyes and I could never figure out how to stop this happening. (I'm 50) I used every primer there is. So I'm not sure if it's the paint pots that...

I used to love my paint pot. I had never used anything that DIDN'T go up in the crease of the eyelid, so I let that go. After I used primer for the first time, of course, I felt that the MAC paint...

I find this a totally mediocre product for the price, it seems to ball up in mess (all mac paintpots do this on me) enhance creasing, and try to apply anything over it and it just looks cakey. Much...

This is one of my favorite products, I think this is how my obsession with MAC began! Bare Study makes a beautiful non-crease base for eyeshadows, it is incredibly light yet it gives such a...

This was one of the first Mac products I ever owned (given to me as a gift for my 18th birthday). That being said, I've never looked back. This primer is great and truly stays on all day. The...

I bought this on a whim after seeing it used in so many youtube tutorials. To be completely honest, I figured I would probably use it once or twice, and then never look at it again. Turns out I...

You know, this isn't really anything special, but I love it. You look at it, and it's very pretty but is it unique ?, no but it's great for me. I use this as a base for many, many, eyeshadows. I...

A great cream shadow/shadow base, depending on how you use it. If you don't like shimmer than this is not for you but I happen to like it. The packaging however I am not a fan of because the lid...
