Eyeshadow Base - M.A.C. rules!
My eyelids are so oily it’s not even funny. I have yet to meet another person whose eyelids are worse than mine. As a matter of fact, here’s a common reaction I get: “Eyelids can be Oily?” To clarify how bad it is, it takes less than 20 minutes for eyeshadow powder to crease on me.

3 or 4 years ago I met my Savior. MAC Painter is really a creamshadow line. It’s not your everyday creamshadow though. It’s very matte and heavy. I call it ‘industrial strength’ eyeshadow base. I bought “Untitled” which is the lightest nude color. After applying it my Stila powder shadow lasts all day!
I was so happy I went back and bought 3 other colors, green purle and blue. But it turned out other vibrant colors were not meant to be used as eyeshadow base. I still like them though. The color is rich and easy to apply (only a finger is required).
Origin has an eyeshadow base too that I want to buy after I run out of “Untitled Paint”. Speaking of which, i bought it a few years ago and I still have 20% left. The best 15 bucks you can spend!! Origin’s base is beige-white, and they claim it’ll make the eyeshadow color more vibrant. I’m yet to find out how long it can last. Has anyone tried it?

If you love the MAC’s paints, you’re going to love MAC’s Shadow stick! I have it in “Fresh Cement” and you don’t get your fingers dirty, and the makeup doesn’t ooze out like paints does. We’re going to miss you Seattle! But have a great adventure in SF!
