    I love the texture and colour output, but I just don't know how to use this cream product. I'll stick with powders instead.

    Nice color to use as an all over lid color. I don't reach for it often but when I do I'm happy with the results.

    Perfect for shading the nose and jawline. I put Root all over eye just above creaseline and apply Cocomotion on top - use Bare Canvas as base. Just gorgeous!

    Another Find at a CCO.This time I will start experimenting with cream color bases.This is sheer in application which works good with lighter colors over them.Root was discontinued by Mac, hopefully...

    Well, I wanted to get a base for my eyeshadows that was like Artjam paint. Since MAC has discontinued that, the search began. I bought this for a super discounted price online. I only paid $10...

    I noticed that it depends on what climate I'm in, but while I'm in the tropics I use the cream color bases as a base to my powder eyeshadow. I normally put more product on my eyelid and thin and...

    Root looks great alone on the eyes or cheeks. It can also be used as a base for eyes. It looks awesome under club. Very cool.

    My second CCB - I love them and am so glad I gave them a chance, they do not crease on me and look so natural on. Root is a coffee brown with a bit of shimmer and on me (GGG, NC35, chinese...

    I just couldn't get Root to work for me. It wasn't a good color for my lips or cheeks and it creased horribly on my eyes. Even with an e/s base. I hope one day MAC will figure out how to get the...

    I have to admit that Root is a beautiful color. It looks similar to Mystery eyeshadow (lighter) with shimmer. The color is hard to describe, but it really is a knock out! I don't care for their...

    Root is a beautiful brownish shimmer with dark purplish undertones. The color is stunning. It's hard to describe the exact color. However, although I love the color, I don't like MAC's Cream...

    Following Mandy's cue, I bought Root from gloss.com with the intention of using it as a bronzer. When it arrived I panicked. It's a deep chocolate brown with a faint pewter shimmer in the pan. ...

    Bought this on a whim. Literally spent 2 min in the MAC store and walked out with the box. On the way home, I realized this wasn't a powder shadow, as I'd originally thought (this might have...

    Cream color bases are just as the name implies - creamy, making them so easy to apply and blend. Root is a great color to use for natural looking contours. It is a neutral brown, not too orange...

    I use this to contour the eye area. I like the color and the fact that it looks very natural, with a light shimmer.

    For quite a while, the Root Cream Color sat in my makeup drawer barely being used. I really hated the thought of this product joining the cosmetics graveyard. I tried it as a bronzer and LOVED...
