i use this practically on a daily basis, it's pretty great. i heard good things about using paint pots as an eyeshadow base and even as a primer so i thought it was worth the investment (about...

I use this as a base for my eyeshadow and it does the job! I've used a couple of Mac paintpots in the past and this has the best consistency and texture so far! It's a great neutral colour that...

I have tried so many times to make this work underneath other eyeshadows. Everyone says it doesn't crease at all - I haven't had that experience at all. On me it creases within a couple hours. The...

I am reviewing mac painterly as an eye shadow base. I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It's ok but not great. By the end of the day I had some creasing although not as bad as if I didn't use...

Perhaps my favourite (so far) product from MAC. I have oily eyelids but with the paint pot the eyeshadow stays on for more than 12 hours, not needing any touch up. I like this colour, it blends...

Perfect everytime. Either I do the no makeup look for day and this evens out my eye area or I use it as a primer when I do a more elaborate eye. It has staying power.

This is a good product for an eye base and for concealing discolouration on the eye lid however it's a bit overhyped if Iam honest and can be quite drying at times. I much prefer the consistency of...

I use this everyday as a base over my primer and underneath my eyeshadow. I have oily lids, so I do like to use the combination of a primer and a base. I used NYX Milk in the past, but I was gifted...

Love this product. I do not use shadows on a daily basis, what I do instead is apply Mac Painterly, then line my upper lashes with a soft kohl pencil and wing out slightly, then lightly blend my...

I love this as a base or a primer color on my eyes and then I can get a natural look and it does work as a primer for me I like this product for a soft smokey eye .

I really loved this. It's creamy, easy to use, and lasts forever. It holds my make up in place, and I felt like it made my eyeshadow "pop" more. I tried using it under my eyes before foundation,...

When I swatched this in the MAC shop I was actually so surprised by the formula, it was really creamy and smooth, the colour is really nice for my medium asian skin (well in my opinion it is). In...

MAC must have. I was surprised by the durability of this product! It does not creases. It lasts a long time, even using it every day. I would try other shades, but it is pricey.

This was one of my first items that I purchased from MAC which was quite a while ago. The colour is a neutral pinky beige colour. I always use this underneath my eyeshadows as a base/primer or...

I have been using mac paint pots for awhile but recently purchased this shade. The reason I never purchased it before was because when I swatched it, it was dark and I felt that it wouldn't look...

I use this mostly as a base for my eyeshadow and actually as a small spot concealer! I like the texture of it and it works perfectly as a base.

I have oily, but not excessively oily lids. Gave this product a good year worth of trial and error. I believed this to be a eye shadow primer. For that it is HORRIBLE. It doesn't help keep it on...

Love this product, but I don't feel it works as a primer at all. I definitely creases but the colour is lovely.
