I really like the formula of this product - holds my eyeshadow on and doesn't crease! It's a great primer. However, I bought it to camouflage the veins on my eyelids, and it is way too dark for my...

Matches my NW15 skin very well. Great as an eyeshadow base & sometimes on lazy days I will pat this on all over my lid, add some mascara and go! :D

LOVE this product. I use it as a base for my tricky eyeshadow or when I know I'm going to have a long day and not be able to touch up my makeup. I'm NC15 so Painterly is very neutral on me,...

Perfect color as an eye lid base for my NC25 skin. Comes on easily and keeps my shadow put. I do have a bit of creasing sometimes but I haven't figure out why. Doesn't happen every time. Even...

First, the paint pots are FAR BETTER than Bobbi Brown cream shadows, that dry out in two weeks, are in a container you can't get a brush in, etc. This is a very subtle but color drenched prodcut. ...

I decided to treat myself & bought this in Painterly. I have to say, it works great as an eyeshadow base & prevents creasing, shadows last longer. I even use it as a base for concealing sunspots....

Adore these. Painterly is perfect for a natural base and works wonderfully to make my eyeshadow stay put. Highly recommend!

I love this. I love MAC stuff but never would have paid attention to paint pots until a MAC SA recommended it as an eyelid primer. It applies beautifully. I usually pat it over my eyelid up to...

Great primer. Eyeshadow always creases on me within an hour but I can wear eyeshadow all day without creasing if I put this on first. I haven't had such great experiences with other paint pots...

I'd tried Paint Pots in the past and not been thrilled with them, but swapped for this one and am delighted that I did. The shade is perfect--just slightly (maybe a half-shade) darker than my skin...

My first Paint Pot at MAC. Using this really made my eyeshadow colors pop. It goes on smoothly and while it doesn't exactly match my skin tone, I think it makes a very good highlight color. I think...

I had a make over last year and the MUA used this on me as an eye shadow base and instantly I was hooked. This is super close to my skin tome so I use it alone when I donT do shadows and then layer...

I don't even have my own pot of this. I had been looking into getting a Paint Pot but I don't wear eyeshadow every day so I was hesitant to spend $17 on an eyeshadow base. My mom came home one day...

I love this so much! It is the greatest thing as a primer or an actual shadow! It makes your shadows so much more pigmented and lasting. And it's like a bottomless pit of product because it lasts...
