MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot Review

Fantastic product! Almost like using a eyelid primer. It is the perfect base to hold your shadow in place all day! I sometimes just use them on their own. When doing a matte eye I find the shimmery ones like painterly, give another dimension to your eye shadow. Perfect for brides it can crease on really oily skin types but I find if you put shadow on top it doesn't. Comes in a wide range of colours! Just love them.

This is my all time favourite as an eye primer! I have tried a few colours, but Painterly is by far my favourite. Perfect neutral colour for most skin tones, and very smooth and blend-able. I usually apply with my finger, though a spot concealer brush usually does the trick also.

Since I started using this, my eyeshadow has lasted a lot longer each day, it doesn't crease, and the pigment has been a lot stronger too.

My other favourite colour is Blackground, which is the dark black coloured one, absolutely perfect for a smokey eye as a base!

These are a must have for anyone who wants their eyeshadow to last, and could turn even the cheapest eyeshadow into high end quality!

i was sold this as a eye primer , i didn't even no until now that it was a colour on its own ... but i would highly recommend as a base for any eye shadow keeps eye shadow in place all day with out any rubbing of or fading away . it has also lased me a very long time been using my pot for about a year now and i have only just hit the bottom :)

I used this all of the time for an eyeshadow base as I am prone to creasing. It worked really well and ensured the eyeshadow remained crease free for the day.

I always use this as a base for any eyeshadow when applying makeup it provides a long lasting colour of whatever eyeshadow you have used on top of the base and it wont crease, I love it but I would never use this alone as an eye colour.

It is really good to prime your eyes but shouldn't be used by itslef as i've found it creases quite badly. On the plus side it is easy to apply and feels good on the skin.

The skin on my eyes can get really dry and using this product on dry skin is a definite no-no. It grabs and emphasise any dry patches on me. But when my skin behaves, it's a great base for eyeshadow or can be pretty just on it's own. It is a bit pricey, but if you don't leave the lid off (that will dry it out) it can last a while and be worth the investment.

I use the shade soft ochre as an eye primer under eye shadow daily. I find the colour a good match to my nc15 skin. This does not crease on me and I find it lasts all day looking the way it did when I first applied. This products only downfall is that it can sometimes appear uneven or patchy when applied.

love using this product as a base for my eyeshadows, works as an amzing primer to keep the shadows and liner on all day instead of fading out over the day! perfect to use when youve got a long day at work or where ever and dont have time for touch ups, or a night out!

I have two of these - Groundwork (soft neutral brown) and Vintage Selection (pinky champagne). I use Groundwork on its own all over my lid, and will sometimes layer Vintage Selection on top. The best thing about these is they do not crease on me, which I find incredible. I apply them with my fingers and find them easy to blend. They are expensive but will last forever!
