I’m 76. Been wearing this for over 20 years as a eye base. NW 20. Still works under cream or powder shadow and holds my Clinique pencil liner.

I love these paint pots! I have been into these since summer 2022. My fave is Painterly. A perfect nude beige that is great as a primer or as a bit of something. No fragrance, no irritation too....

Bought this in soft ochre to use as a base to cancel out red and purple tones on my eyelids and make them look neutral. Works like a charm; even when I was doubtful ANY creamy product would not be...

This color is a cool pinkish beige, for those whom Soft Ochre seems too yellow. It's a base color or a primer; works with Grounded (soft brown) as a full eye or as an eye primer, which is how I use...

Foul. Greasy and Creasy. Everyone told me on my nw20-30 skin painterly was the one to get. I tried so many times. It creased always even when I applied primer under (defeats purpose imo), powder...

I like this eye shadow primer very much. It is definitely suitable for oily skin. The texture is creamy and the formula is long-lasting. I put my makeup at 7 AM and it starts creasing around 7-8...

I really like this as a primer for eye shadow, but it’s not a love for me. I am between NC30 - NC35, light olive skin. This is a hair cooler than ideal for me. Pros: evens out your eye area...

I've been searching for an eyeshadow primer to replace my Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion. The Urban Decay one makes my eyeshadow stay on for 12 hours, but a full size tube lasts for only 1...

I love it as an eyeshadow base since it covers tiny capillares on my eyelids. It creates clean canvas without causing troubles while I’m blending eyeshadows. I gave it a 4 since in the summer when...

This has definitely improved my eyeshadow wear time and helps to prevent shifting and creasing. I have been loving this over using an eyeshadow primer for two reasons: 1) I can see where I put it...

I wanted to share a tip I just discovered. This works incredibly well with a tiny damp beauty blender! I had stopped using it because it was making my eyelids look more crepey then I cared for. ...

I was actually after the stormy pink one, but couldn't find it, so I got painterly instead. While applying, painterly looks very plain, but after it dries out it turns into a gorgeous soft pink...

Overall rating: 6/10 I like this product, but I wouldn't say it's a staple I can't live without. I actually use it as an under-eye concealer rather than on my eyelids. It's a good concealer but...

I used to like this before I knew much about primers. It kind of works, but it's not long lasting enough on me. It's good value since the product will last a long time, but what's the point when it...
