    What the gurus are saying

    This warm-toned eyeshadow primer is celebrated as a timeless, reliable base that experts consistently return to in their makeup routines. They layer it thin, buff it out, and overlap it with concealer before tapping shadow onto the lid, a technique that prevents eyeshadow from sitting directly on the concealer and ensures smooth blending. The shade is praised as pretty and flattering across different skin tones.

    "I'm going with soft ochre Paint Pot from Mac. The thing I would always use under eye makeup, depending on skin tone, it'll be constructivist. Paint Pot, Paint Pot, soft ochre, painterly, whatever the skin tone was. Now I do a thin layer and then buff that out, overlapping the concealer. Because I don't want eyeshadow to sit on that concealer at all. Make sure I'm covering like the outside corner of the eye, not under the eye. And then tapping that into the lid. And that's how I would and still do prime my lids."
