Hi girls,
i'm doubting about the mac groundwork paint pot. I use my paint pots daily, especially camel coat, painterly, constructivist and quite natural.
I like constructivist but find it sometimes too shimmery, but quite natural is just a tad to warm-toned for me. Camel coat is perfect but sometimes i wish for just a bit more color.
So, what do you girls think? Do i really need groundwork paint pot? Or is it just too similar to camel coat, constructivist and quite natural?

I would say no. If you want something muted but with more colour than Camel Coat, go with something like Frozen Violet, Stormy Pink (which is really more of a greyed-out purple than pink), or Tailor Grey.

Thank you for your advice! Stormy Pink and Tailor Grey seems very pretty. I'm gonna check it out at the mac counter!!

Funny, I recommend groundwork to everyone since it is such a neutral shade. I wear it almost every time I wear something a liiiiittle darker than my natural skin tone (so I won't use it if I do a light beige eye makeup look but everything from dark beige to black, I'll put groundwork beneath it) I sometimes also use it as a base for another paintpot. I love to use it as a base for almost every color but also on its own and I'll only define the crease a little more.

I would say no too because, it look like you are searching a mat brown base deeper than Camel Coat, but Groundwork is not that deep.
It's a really beautiful Paint Pot, maybe you can try it later.
