Great for oily eyelids

I have this in colour Painterly which is basically a skin coloured beige which I use as a primer before my eye-shadow. It really helps the eye-shadow to stay in place all day without creasing or melting away & I've found that it enhances the colour of the eye-shadow. Whenever I wear eye-shadow I always apply this first. I have oily lids that always crease the eye-shadow & it looks horrible-but not with this stuff. It lasts for ages I've had my pot for about 2 years and it looks hardly used because you really use only the tiniest amount. Touching the top of the product puts enough on your finger to cover the area, then you can apply eye-shadow immediately. I always use my finger because it is way to easy to overload a brush with it. Great stuff

Tips: If you use too much on one eye, it will actually crease. use the minimal amount & its awesome

midas' touch

I use this in indianwood which is a bronze/gold colour

I apply with a brush over my foundation/concealer.

I decided to purchase this as my fluidline was always smudging, I have oily skin and this is perfect for keeping my fluidline on,

I have had this product for over a year and it's still going strong even though I use it daily.

it does smudge easily when touched so try not to rub your eyes etc when using

Tips: don't use too much as it thicken/ layers up easily

Almost everytime I use shadow!

I use the soft ocre all over my lids when I am going to apply shadow or even alone. It is the perfect base colour for my lids and gets rid of any veins or discolouration if needed.

The paint pot is nice and creamy highly pigmented as well so you need not use too much otherwise you will crease your shadow. I have slightly oily lids so this is perfect to get rid of that problem. Also will help with the colour pay off of every shadow you use.

Tips: A little goes a long way. I usually use my finger tip to apply or a small concealer brush.

Painterly.

I bought this product in Painterly. It is fantastic. I use it every time I put on eyeshadow, and sometimes just by itself, My eyeshadow stays put and lasts soooo much longer with this. Everything seems to go on so much smoother. I love this product, and really want to get it in more colours/shades.

Tips: I put this on with my finger usually, much like one does with concealer. But you can use a brush if you prefer.

Groundwork works

I purchased a pot of this in the colour Groundworks from the Mac store in Botany. A young man served me and I told him I want an eyeshadow that acts as my base and stays on all day. He sat me down on one of the chairs and proceeded to brush this eye colour all over my eyelid and I loved it right there and then. I left the store without purchasing it at that time because I wanted to make sure it was going to last before I spent my money. Anyway I was back in the store the next day and bought it. Have worn it everyday since then. Its creamy texture is so easy to apply and yes it lasts throughout my work day. I paid $37 for it and I feel I got my money's worth. I'm going to buy myself another one but in a different colour to compliment and add to the one I've bought. No creases either...yay.

Tips: According to the guy that sold me the pot, you can use this as your primer as well. Tried it and it works for me.

Non-creasing, gorgeous colours

I have two of these - Groundwork (soft neutral brown) and Vintage Selection (pinky champagne). I use Groundwork on its own all over my lid, and will sometimes layer Vintage Selection on top. The best thing about these is they do not crease on me, which I find incredible. I apply them with my fingers and find them easy to blend. They are expensive but will last forever!

It's worth it I think! I have tried cream eyeshadows from lots of different brands and these are my favourite. The MAC artist can help you pick one that will suit you - there is a decent colour selection. Enjoy! They are great.

Paint Pot!

I always use this as a base for any eyeshadow when applying makeup it provides a long lasting colour of whatever eyeshadow you have used on top of the base and it wont crease, I love it but I would never use this alone as an eye colour.

Tips: Use as a base!
