MAC Cream Colour Base Reviews

Pearl = great cream highlighter
I purchased the Cream Colour Base in "Pearl" to use as a highlighter on my cheeks and cupid's bow. This is perfectly shimmery without being glittery at all. It just catches the light and makes you look glowing, but still natural. This can be applied easily with your fingers or if you are like me and prefer using makeup brushes, a flat foundation brush works wonderfully. This lasts quite a long time because a little bit of product goes a long way. I have pale skin and this looks really nice on me. My friend is Filipino with much darker skin than me and she uses this same color as a highlight and she loves it too. This is a very versatile product that is easy to use and effective. — 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Color 'Shell'
Shell is a "soft-pink beige with shimmer". I have tried this as a shadow base. No good. Creasy and greasy. I have tried this as a cheek/facial highlighter. No good. Sticky and too shiny. I have tried this as a base to lip gloss/stick/pencil. No good. Too pale and washed out. I then tried this as a brow bone highlighter. SHABAM! There it is. Perfect. Amazing. It is impossible for a cream to crease where there are no creases, and the brow bone is the perfect place to apply this. I apply with my ring finger and pat it all over the brow bone, from inside to outside. It looks so pretty with my blue eyes. I find that the lasting power is pretty good throughout a full day with no touch-ups. The one and only downside with using this in the way that I do is that in pictures it looks a tad greasy. PLEASE SEE: and Yet with my dry skin I would rather have that than looking bone dry and scary in pics. Will buy again.

Love it.
I have Fabulush and the bright peach blends into my skin so well and stays all day. I use it on cheeks, eyes, lips, and forehead. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Ok
Initially, I like this product. I have this in Pearl. I think my skin does not agree with this product. After a week or so, the areas where I apply this product started to form small eruptions. Nothing like cystic acne or anything like that, these were just small multiple spot with no redness. I didn’t think anything of it until I stopped using this product and the spots disappear. Other than that, it’s an ok product. I used it for highlighting and it does a good job at it. It lasts quite long. It does get greasy after a while though. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Super Fun!
This stuff is creamy and very highly pigmented! I love the way it feels and I can use the shades that I bought on cheeks and lips but not eyes (I think it's due to all of the red pigment in them). I was a little disappointed because I think they'd be beautiful on eyes, but I tend to listen to warning labels! These little pots are going to last me forever and the colors I got are great for summer! — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I love MAC but...
I love MAC but...not enough to baby this horrendous excuse as a base. Are you kidding me?! This thing creases within 20 minutes of applying. By the end of the morning, it's virtually gone. Ugh. What am I to do with this pot of worthlessness? It'd be better used for Back2MAC. :/ — 4 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Not the best
I was told to try this as a shadow primer for the loose pigment. I agree that the pigment adheres to this cream base but it creases like crazy within an hour! Ahh all the time I spent putting my shadow on is wasted. It might work better on the cheeks then on the eyes. — 4 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

I'm a Mac girl at heart but
I find this product kind of useless. Some of the colors you can use on your cheek and its okay for that but to be honest there are much better products out there in the beauty world. For the eyes this product stinks. It creases horribly and moves all over the place even with UDPP underneith it. Who wants to work hard at putting their eye makeup on just to have it look terrible an hour later? Sorry Mac, not your best. — 4 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

love it and sad they discontinued my favorite color
Unbelievably smooth and non-greasy. For cheeks- doesn't accentuate pores. (They have sadly for me discontinuedmy favorite color - fuschia perfect that I use for rouge). For eyeshadow I use as base and alone and love the natural look and ease of use and easy spreadability. Favorite colors are root, shell and fawntastic. Fawntastic is my favorite for daily use!!! Only disadvantage is sometimes case breaks. — 5 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
