I think this is a beautiful color on it's own, it's not a primer like Painterly, for green eyes. It is Bare Study but strong peach, not dark just peach, instead of champagne as Bare Study. I am...

I love MAC's Paint Pots, and I tend to use them as a shadow more so than as a base for other shadows. Rubenesque has an orangey, golden color to it which is perfectly suited for warm-toned...

This is a beautiful pink golden peach color in the pot. On my NC20-25 asian skin tone it transfers more golden and can sometimes look a tad too orangey during the winter when I don't have a tan....

I was so excited to try out this product. I even checked reviews and swatches before purchasing it. At the MAC store, a very kind MUA swatched it on the back of my hand and i was totally sold in 1...

As the other reviewers have mentioned, this is absolutely gorgeous in the pot, its a golden pinky/peach color. The color reminds me a lot of Nars' orgasm lipgloss and blush. On my lids, its a...

I was disappointed. This product was supposed to be a great base product, but it's a bit tricky to apply and the result was pretty uneven and flaky. Besides it didn't last all day but started to...

This is a go to product for lazy people! If you don't have time to do your detailed makeup just smudge a bit of this on your eyelids. Blend a little with Buck or Smog from the Naked Palette...

I am an NW20 in MAC and this is my go-to eyeshadow for every day! I apply it using my fingers and just wear it on its own, but it also works great as a base for other colours. This is the only...

Beautiful colour! You can apply this as a base under eyeshadow for a bold intensity underneath or on it's own for a quick wash of colour. The shade is a gold shimmer with a tinge of pink. In...

Looks gorgeous on the pot. I would say this is the trickiest paint pot for me to use. This little guy looks like orangey shimmer on my eye. If I layer shadow over it, it gives the shadow a bit of...

This product is a lot more sheer consistency than their other paint pots. It goes on sheer with some gold shimmer. It's really pretty and helps shadow adhere. I just wish it was a little more...

I love this paint pot. I prefer my paint pots to have some color or something extra to them rather than a plain base (aka Painterly), but that's just personal preference. It's a beautiful, unique...

I like this color a lot, I just wish that it was as creamy as my other paintpots. I own painterly and nubile and they both have a concealer consistency but this one is a lot drier for me for some...

This is my very first paint pot and I'd like to know where it's been all my life. I will probably be using paint pots as bases instead of using plain primer most of the time. I love the...

I love PaintPots! Especially rubenesque. It is a perfect peachy pink champange color, in a long lasting shimmery cream eye shadow. Great base and also really pretty on its own. If your only going...

What a great everyday base shade! If I dab this on before smudging on a darker shade (Constructivist PP or brown liner), I'm set for the day. It's an essential daily product for me and I love it...

Ok so I was lemming Rubenesque for a really long time. I did a CP with a lady in the US and seeing as MAC is cheaper there, I figured I'd ask her to swap me for it. So here I was really excited to...
