    This is my go to paint pot for my daily summer look -- I use it to contour my eyes and give them some shape in very hot weather... it is the only product which won't run and drip down my eyelids. ...

    I've had this for about a year and totally hated it until recently. I'm not sure what happened but I was in the "ugly, muddy mess" crowd at first that's for sure. I am now using it for a very...

    First off, I have to say that I have very oily lids and problems with shadows creasing a few hours after applying even with UDPP. With so many raves about paint pots and how they help with the...

    I love this as a base for a dark brown smokey look. It's also nice in the day with All That Glitters over it. Even on its own it's a nice mid-tone brown with a very slight pearl to it which makes...

    A nice taupe colour on my dark lids, although I can see how many girls find it too muddy. I can wear it alone for a sophisticated matte look with kid on the crease, black liner, lot of mascara and...

    these paint pots are great eyeshadow bases. Eyeshadow stays on all day, but this doesn't dry out my eyelid like udpp and trish mcevoy's bases do. I was using rubenesque, but felt it was too...

    I like the MAC paint pots. This was my first one. At first I was skeptical but was one over when my MAC eyeshadow lasted all day. Groundwork actually turns out to be a pearl shade on my lids. It is...
