    I love a great eyeshadow base. One that doesn't crease and one that really lives up to its claims. MAC, you seem to always deliver for me. BARE STUDY is no exception. I was a little leary...

    I'm surprised by all the bad reviews for this product. I really like it. I don't have an eyelid crease so I cant say if the product does crease but it gives either a subtle pale shimmer if you...

    Doesn't crease on me at all, and I like the subtle pearly finish. Sometimes I just wear it alone with some liner, I like how it freshens up my eyes when I am tired. Pigmentation is also really...

    I really like this as a base for my matte shadows on days I want a little shimmer from them. I also found a cool trick: mix a dab of UDPP and a dab of Bare Study on my finger tip then tap it over...

    This was by far the worst MAC product I have ever tried. The MA at the MAC store said this would be a great eyeshadow base to prevent creasing and make the shadow last longer. This stuff creased...

    This is a beautiful paint pot and one of the more creamy pp. Some other pp's are more dry and harder to blend, like Soft Ochre. Bare Study is definitely very creamy and easy to work with.

    I use this as a base because most of my shadows are indeed shimmery! This one is great and makes all my shadows really pop and keeps them in place all day. I apply it with my middle finger for a...

    The color is a beautiful pale iridescent beige with gold pearly shimmer but the texture isn't so great. I find that in order for me to get a thin,smooth, even base i have to apply it with a fluffy...

    Hello. Male makeup artist here. I recently purchased this for my wife and she is in love! She does not have very big eyelids, so when she wears any shadow it tends to crease on her. Not only do...

    Best daily cream shadow! I use this on a daily basis. It takes seconds to apply, and it lasts all day. It's a beautiful champagne shimmer. It's very frosty, and it illuminates the whole eye. You...

    I love the color to me it's a goldish -brownish color. I find it looks great on it's own or with eye shadow. I find it to be nice creamy. I like that it reflects the light without looking cheap.
