    This was my first paint pot purchase. Been using it exclusively for months now. I first use my UUDP to prime. Then use this to deepen the color of my lids. Then I put on eyeshadow. Anything...

    By far, this is my favorite paint pot to use as a base. It defintely matches my eyelids and is very neutral. Works great as a base and doesn't crease my shadows. I also use it as a natural base on...

    I noticed that some are describing this as warm, but on my skin tone its more of a cool/neutral tone, almost taupe with a slight shimmer.I do find that it can look a little ashy which is why I...

    Groundwork is the perfect primer for my eyes. It seems to make my e/s pop and last all day long. I even wear it alone on days I don't want to wear any e/s at all. Very natural looking on my eyes....

    I don't find Groundwork to be as versatile as Painterly, but I do like it. It's a soft taupe brown which definitely pops out and makes my brown toned shadows last a whole lot longer. Whereas...

    This is the perfect color for you NC 43 people. It's softer and more blendable than my soft ochre paintpot. This is my go to everyday look. I just put this on, add eyeliner and mascara and I'm...

    I would prefer if the texture of paint pot existed in the paints, as I am terrified of this stuff drying out. I am NC25-30, and this is a lovely color that's just a tad darker than my skin...

    this is my favorite everyday eye shadow base. works really well on its own too. adds nice depth when i dont want to wear eye shadow, and makes whatever you put on top last all day.

    This is a great warm tone that is fantastic to wear as a base, or as an everyday colour. I really noticed that as a base, my eyeshadow lasts so much longer - it stays in place (doen't smudge...

    Great color to use with brown or purple brown shadows. One of my favorite colors is Satin Taupe, and this works great with it. I use a brush to apply it and it goes on smoothly every time! Nice to...

    Love it!! Another winner produced. Do not judge this color by the swatch on the web. This is a natural taupe nude. This is my everyday primer--goes with everything. I've never had a problem...

    LOVE the color and staying power. A nice subtle color for daytime that I can put on in low light. I just wish that it blended a bit easier...Not that important for this color, but it does matter...

    I hate to be the hater on these, but I prefer paints so much more! These to me feel drier, so it's hard to blend on delicate tissue like an eyelid. If you apply them by finger, it can get under...

    I must compare these to both MAC Paints and the similar Benefit Creaseless Creams. Compared to Paints, they are creamier but slightly "drier" in texture due to the higher silicone content and don't...
