    I find this is a nice cream shadow that brightens up my face and works well with my dark green eyes. As others have noted it is fairly sheer, but I don't mind because I usually use this as a wash...

    This paint pot does not do much for me. I am medium tan or NC 35 and on me this shadow looks as good as not using anything. The glitter is terrible, they fall over my cheeks. I love cream eye...

    I wanted desperately to love this, but I don't. It looks so lovely in the jar, but it is really thin and sheer, and the shimmer seems chunky and it just doesn't work. This one is almost too...

    I bought this product about 2 years ago and wear it occasionally. The color is gorgeous and good for everyday wear. I'm about NC30-35 for reference and I like colors that just give my lids a shade...

    I love using this to prime my eyes but sometimes I'll just use it as a shadow. I typically use my finger but if I am using it as a shadow then I'll use a brush to get a clean/flawless application....

    Rubenesque looks much prettier in the pot than on my lids, sad to say. It doesn't apply as well as Soft Ochre and Layin' Low, probably because of the shimmer and it has a tendency to crease, even...

    Rubenesque is a close runner up for M•A•C Painterly in terms of frequency of use. It's a golden peach duochrome shimmer that really does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. It can be a bit...

    I've had this since I was a young teen and it was the first MAC product I have bought and can I just say, it is the quickest thing to apply when you're in a rush. It's not highly pigmented but I...

    I just got this. I tried bare study on but found the color too sparkly and washed out my olive skin tone. This ok the other hand makes my blue eyes pop and looks pretty natural. I use it with...

    The least favorite of the mac paint pot I own. I feel it is not as pigmented as the other ones. And not as long lasting.

    On my nc20 c2 skin this paintpot slightly blends in with my skintone with jst one layer. The second layer shows up as a sunset peach gold sheen which is beautiful for just a natural look but with a...

    I use this as a base almost every day for work. I have to use it on top of UDPP to prevent creasing (this is true for most cream eye shadows). I bought this color because of the rave reviews, but I...

    This product has tones of gold and coral in it. it glides on smoothly and can be used as a sheer wash or layered for a more intense colour. I'm really impressed with this product mainly because of...

    I LOVE my rubenesque paint pot with some Mac expensive pink over top. It really makes my green eyes pop.

    I really wanted to like Rubenesque. Such a pretty and rich rose-gold. Looks amazing in the pot and swatches beautifully. But on the lid, there were large particles of shimmer that didn't look...

    I adore Rubenesque! A few months ago, my friend had bought some stuff from MAC and I asked her what I she thought I should buy... I told her that I wanted an eyeshadow. She told me to go look at...

    Oh man oh man I love this paint pot so so much. It's a sheer peachy gold cream eyeshadow. I use it all the time just to make my other gold toned shadows layered on top opaque. My favorite...

    Disappointed in this eyeshadow. I was hoping itd have more pigment, but its so sheer it looks like theres nothing on my eyes. Good base, but why buy a mac e/s just to cover it up?

    I love this as a quick everyday wash of colour all over the lid. It lasts and doesn't crease without a primer, even on my oily lids. It's a beautiful, easy to wear colour and even after owning it...
