THE PRODUCT: This is the description of the Paint Pots on the official MAC website: “A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Cream-based, can be mixed with MAC shadows and liners.” Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking.

What you can necessarily do with this is use it alone on your eyelids or use it as a base or primer for your eye make-up. Doing so will allow your eyeshadows to appear truer to their colour and more vibrant and last longer without creasing. If you’ve got discoloured eyelids, you can use this as a base and just do a light wash of shadow over your lids. You may use your fingers for application or use an eye make-up brush with synthetic bristles. It’s highly blend-able and this particular shade works well with any eyeshadow colour you can imagine. ‘Soft Ochre’ is a yellow beige shade, which is exactly why it works for basic as well as darker, more put-together looks. The product comes in a very sturdy glass container with a black top. There are 23 shades in the range, starting from very basic shades like ‘Soft Ochre’ and ‘Painterly’ (nude beige) to bright ones like ‘Clearwater’ (sea foam) and dark ones like ‘Blackground’ (black-gray with multi colour). Be sure to close the caps of the Paint Pots tight or they might dry up quicker than usual. With this in your hands, you’ll no longer have to worry about your eyeshadow creasing or smudging. They may be expensive but giving these a try might just change the way you look at eye make-up. I can honestly say that it was a good investment. PRICE: 1450 INR ($21 approximately) for 5 grams.ĪVAILABILITY: MAC Counters, DUPE: The formula is quite similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoos (which are 350 INR for 4 grams) and they pretty much serve the same purpose.

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.

(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.īrowse all of our MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot swatches. 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 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.
