#MAC PRO PAINT POTS MAC#
I use the MAC Paint Pot in the shade Painterly (pink beige that MAC calls nude beige) fairly often to cover my red eyelids discolored from blepharitis. At the time I placed my order, Ulta was sold out of most of the new shades, but today when I checked, most were back in stock. They are sold at MAC stores, on the MAC website and on.
#MAC PRO PAINT POTS PRO#
Recently, I noticed that MAC introduced several new shades of their iconic Pro Longwear Paint Pot Eyeshadow, cream or base shadows, that come in the cute little glass black-lidded jars. How about you? Do you ever put on makeup these days? I'm actually thinking of maybe buying Dangerous Cuvee again.I know I am finally getting bored being at home because I have been playing with makeup more often even though I have nowhere to go. So far (I've only had this a few days), the wear and crease resistance are good - typical of what I usually get with a Paint Pot. The glitter sort of dances in the light but isn't over-the-top obnoxiously garish. But still, is is just so darned pretty - a darkened, grey-ish purple that looks pretty as anything applied sheerly (it's pretty sheer) on the mobile lid.
#MAC PRO PAINT POTS FULL#
Well, I totally LOVE this and I'm going back for the full size, which is probably silly given my age and lifestyle. But I figured, "What the heck" and asked my beloved MAC lady for a sample (there is no irony there the women at the MAC counter at my particular Hudson's Bay store are really lovely). It looked SO pretty but swatched SO glittery. Having had a less than happy experience with a sheer and glittery Paint Pot a few years ago (Dangerous Cuvee from ChamPale), I was more than a bit leery when I looked at this in store the other day. (Plus, it is rare that products actually go as long as 12, let alone 16, hours without some sign(s) of wear.) I don't recall this product having a specific, 24-hour wear claim before (and my prior reviews don't mention it, just that it was "long-wearing"), so ratings did change for certain shades as a result. With 24-hour wear claims like this, I wear for as long as I'm awake, but I don't want to sleep in makeup, so I extrapolate based on the state of it at 16-hours. The wear of the shimmer shades was shorter, too, and there was often a bit of creasing within 10 hours of wear.
I didn't find that they applied any better using brushes over fingertips or vice versa. They were best applied in thin layers and built up, but the results were inconsistent and varied a lot between shades. The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision.
The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing-12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading-but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was). The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer. The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable" and can be used as either an "eye primer" or as a "cream shadow." The brand says it's supposed to wear for "24 hours" without flaking or creasing.
