I use this in indianwood which is a bronze/gold colour
I apply with a brush over my foundation/concealer.
I decided to purchase this as my fluidline was always smudging, I have oily skin and this is perfect for keeping my fluidline on,
I have had this product for over a year and it's still going strong even though I use it daily.
it does smudge easily when touched so try not to rub your eyes etc when using
Tips: don't use too much as it thicken/ layers up easily
I use the soft ocre all over my lids when I am going to apply shadow or even alone. It is the perfect base colour for my lids and gets rid of any veins or discolouration if needed.
The paint pot is nice and creamy highly pigmented as well so you need not use too much otherwise you will crease your shadow. I have slightly oily lids so this is perfect to get rid of that problem. Also will help with the colour pay off of every shadow you use.
Tips: A little goes a long way. I usually use my finger tip to apply or a small concealer brush.
The best way to describe this is lipstick for your eyes, creates an amazing base for eyeshadow to adhere to and remains on all day. fantastic to be used on its own or as a mixing medium.
Brought this in painterly. It is an amazing base colour to even out eye lid shade as u get older I am 46. Makes eyeshadow stay in place and pop with colour.
Tips: Use concealer brush for smooth application.
I have a couple of paint pots Soft ochre Delft Artefact Indianwood Rubenesque Genuine treasure Bare study
The colour pay off is really good and they blend easily. I use my finger to apply and blend my crease out with a blending brush. I use them alone or as an eye shadow base, or as an eyeliner which I set with eyeshadow.
I find these very comparable to the maybelline colour tattoos, and stila smudge pots and mix and match them up. Cost is a point when it comes to repurchasing as maybelline is a lot more price friendly and can be picked up at perfume sales for $6-12 as opposed to $40ish. I do think mac still has a superior colour selection, and I'm a packaging snob sometimes and mac just looks a lot more chic and classy without big bar odds and ugly stickers.
Tips: Keep your lids on nice and tight or they can dry out. Use a light hand as they can layer up and become uneven.
I bought this product in Painterly. It is fantastic. I use it every time I put on eyeshadow, and sometimes just by itself, My eyeshadow stays put and lasts soooo much longer with this. Everything seems to go on so much smoother. I love this product, and really want to get it in more colours/shades.
Tips: I put this on with my finger usually, much like one does with concealer. But you can use a brush if you prefer.
I am a massive fan of the paint pot in the colour "Painterly". I use this every day as my eyeshadow base and it never creases or fades. I've had mine for almost a year now and I'm still not even close to the bottom so its definitely value for money too!
Tips: Use it as an eye shadow primer
My lids look great with eyeshadow but they don't hold it well - shadows tend to move into the creases no matter what primer I try! I took this problem to MAC and one of the makeup artists recommended I use the Paint Pot as a "grip" beneath eyeshadow. I bought the "Painterly" shade as it is closest to my natural skin tone and would go well with any colour layered over. I find it's quite nice to brighten the eyes on it's own, but I don't think it stays put quite as well as I was sold. I am an extreme case though! I use a brush as I was instructed by the MAC makeup artist to apply this product. I have had it for years and use it every time I use eye shadow so the investment goes a long way! The packaging is nice though has a lot of glass, which is a bit heavy if you're taking it for travel.
Ive tried 2 colors, bare study and groundwork, and i can't figure out how to make them work for me! Ive tried applying with all sorts of different brushes, I've tried using my fingers and it just seems patchy, and if i try to apply another coat it just wipes off the first coat. The colors are so pretty but i never use them because they just aren't working for me.Does anyone else have this problem? or can anyone give me tips so i can love my paint pots as much as i want to?! please comment!
I have this in colour Painterly which is basically a skin coloured beige which I use as a primer before my eye-shadow. It really helps the eye-shadow to stay in place all day without creasing or melting away & I've found that it enhances the colour of the eye-shadow. Whenever I wear eye-shadow I always apply this first. I have oily lids that always crease the eye-shadow & it looks horrible-but not with this stuff. It lasts for ages I've had my pot for about 2 years and it looks hardly used because you really use only the tiniest amount. Touching the top of the product puts enough on your finger to cover the area, then you can apply eye-shadow immediately. I always use my finger because it is way to easy to overload a brush with it. Great stuff
Tips: If you use too much on one eye, it will actually crease. use the minimal amount & its awesome
