Pros

I didn't even know this color existed Is it the famous Laying Low? lol I vaguely went to buy that, but to my surprise, it turned out to be a taupe color, so I was flustered haha Then by chance, I saw the Groundwork and felt I had to buy it before trying it! Sure enough, when I tested it, the color was a perfect match! I'm too lazy to do full makeup, so I just slap on a single eyeshadow and go I've been wandering around looking for a long-lasting cream eyeshadow But as soon as I saw this, I knew this was it These days I don't have many occasions to do makeup, but on the days I have to, this is all I need for my eye makeup! I don't even need to line my eyes lol I just SSG (Swipe, Smudge, Go) this with my finger Add mascara if I'm in the mood! For you lazy girls who just want to finish with a single eyeshadow, this is the answer It's fast, applies smoothly, has great staying power, doesn't crease or smudge! If you use an eye primer, the color payoff lasts even longer~~^^

Cons

I'm already worried that the cream eyeshadow will harden before I even use half of it lol I don't know, if a prettier eyeshadow comes out, but I'm also worried it might get discontinued lol

Tip

If you apply the Urban Decay eye primer and then the eyeshadow, the color payoff will be more vibrant and the color will last longer But even if you just remove the oil and apply it, the color is still pretty^^

Pros

This is truly a must-have in my life. I used it throughout the summer and it never budged. There was one time when it got really bad (known for being waterproof), but the paint pot and the shadow I put on top of it survived! No need for other primers, the paint pot is the best. Once it's set, it lasts through anything! The groundwork is a slightly grayish muted brown tone, so it really gives a shadow-like effect. When applied lightly, it has a MAC Wedge vibe, and when applied more heavily, it has a Mulch vibe. It just meshes perfectly with my skin tone, and it's so long-lasting that even using it every time I do my makeup, it'll take 1-2 years to finish the huge amount.

Cons

As obvious as it may sound, when I use this as a base, my makeup becomes too deep, and the colored shadows can't shine to their full potential. And the Korean retail price (32,000 won) is just too much to bear.

Tip

If you're like me and prefer more shadowy or deeper makeup looks, this will be a holy grail. But if you enjoy brighter makeup and do it frequently, I also recommend (pink, red, or vibrant orange-toned) shadows like Painterly or Layin' Low in the same line! Topping the groundwork with a pearly or glittery shadow is the finishing touch. A recommended holy grail combo is mono eyeshadows with a strong pearl effect, like Modern Fetale, or Mepho Diamond Powder types - they stick on perfectly and the longevity is a bonus, plus they just look gorgeous... The makeup in the review photo has MAC Honey Lust on top!

Pros

This is truly my life-changing product that I use daily ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I also have this in the Laying Low color. Laying Low has a slightly yellow undertone, but the color and texture are the same as this one. Even though it seems expensive, the amount is so generous that you can use it for several years as long as the expiration date is not an issue. The pros are that the color payoff is extremely impressive, and the color is beautiful!! It has a subtle sheen and the taupe-gray color is something I really like. The store staff even recommended using it as an eye primer. My eyes are an absolute oil field, but when I apply this eyeshadow, it lasts up to 8 hours at most, and there's hardly any oiliness or creasing on my eyelids. Over time, the eyeshadow may crease a bit with oil and eyeliner, but this one doesn't do that. It seems better than most eye primers. It doesn't budge even when I rub it with water, and when I pair it with my other life-changing eyeliner, it's unstoppable. I strongly recommend this eyeshadow to my friends.

Cons

Not really. The MAC Paint Pots in our country have slightly less color variety compared to the original, so I'm curious about other color options as well.

Pros

This is my most frequently used daily eyeshadow. Since it's a cream type, you just need to swipe it on with your fingers, and even beginners can easily apply this eyeshadow.

Cons

Nothing in particular. Well... the amount is a bit too much? But I'm using it without any complaints.

Tip

Try using it together with MAC Satin Taupe. You can use it as a shading eyeshadow or as a base before applying a darker color.
