MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot Review

I purchased the soft ochre and painterly paint pots to use as coverage for the veins on my eye area. My skin can be both yellow and pink toned and so both suit me depending on what foundation undertone I'm using that day. I apply this with my fingers and use the heat of my fingers to warm it up. Moderation is key as too much will clump together. This dissolves on my hooded eyes 2-3 hours after application unfortunately. I have also tried using the paintpots as an eyeshadow base, and although colour wise this works well, it does not help with holding the eyeshadow on my lids. I will continue to use this for covering my veins, but I probably wouldn't repurchase.

I love MAC's paint pot range.I own a few of these beauties and use these at every opportunity! Once applied it is easy to blend and doesn't drag on your skin. Shadows apply well, do not not crease and are lasting. Although a little bit pricey for the size, one pot will last you a very long time.

I brought my very first MAC Paint Pot on a recent trip to the US I swatched it and immediately fell in love. This Paint Pot has a rich bronze colour which is shimmery, light-reflecting, and still quite soft. Not at all glittery either.

This goes on very smoothly and blends well. I have found its incredibly buildable from barely-there sheer to rich metallic opaque.It will look gorgeous and very summery by itself in summer i feel.

It stays all day without budging, creasing, or migrating.

Perfect.

I own the Mac paint pot in painterly, indianwood and rubenesque and all three of these colours are perfect as primers and bases for eyeshadow. Painterly is great at neutralising the eye lid to brow area and is a great at intensifying the colour pay off of eyeshadows. Indianwood is the best base for golden tones or even on its own and rubenesque is good to add a bit of shimmer to the lid.

All of the paint pots have incredible lasting power, they do not move at all and I have never had trouble with creasing. This product is definitely worth the price tag and the packaging is great for travelling!

It's perfect as an eyeshadow base, I use Soft Ochre and it works well with my skin tone. I use it with my fingers, I don't think it works as well when I use a brush because the heat from my fingers can warm it up. It lasts all day. The only thing I don't like about them is they dry up really quickly and I find that I can't use it all up without it drying and cracking.

I love love love this primer! I have it in Painterley and solely use it as a primer. I know they have other colours which would double up as an eyeshadow but I bought the more neutral shade so I could use it under any shadow colour.

Since using this, my shadow colour appears stronger, stayed on longer and doesn't crease at all!

It is quite pricey but I have had mine for years now and still only half way through. I use it every time I wear shadow.

I use MAC paintpots solely as an eyeshadow primer. I use painterly most days (and it's actually so opaque and suited to my skin tone I use it under my eyes lightly as a concealer). It keeps my eyeshadow lasting well throughout the work day and also really enhances the colour of the shadow. I can't imagine not using this! I also like bare study, which has a bit of shimmer and is nice for going out. For versatility's sake, painterly is my favourite and it lasts for a really long time for the price, and I've never had a problem with them drying out. Would totally recommend!

This is the best eye shadow money can buy, I swear by this it doesn't budge once put on and has so many uses I have 4 different shades out of this range . you can even use the lighter one dapped on the lip to create a nice ombre effect if done correctly and is an awesome highlighter around the eyes not to heavy and doesn't crease .

I have this paint pot in the colour constructionist and I love it! I have found that you only need the tinest amount and can use it as a base, by itself as a sole colour or even as an eyeliner. The advantage to these paint pots is that they don't crease over time and I have seen that my eyeshadow lasts longer if I use these. The only slight downside is the drying out of these paint pots over time, so you need to take extra good care of it to ensure it lasts as long as possible! They retail for about $47 from memory, and for the amount of product you get, you are definitely getting a bargain :-)
