MAC Paint Pot Reviews

Good as cream shadow or as a base!
LipglossandSpandex (486 reviews)
I have MAC Paint Pots in Rubenesque (warm shimmer/frosty gold with slight peach tones), Delft (shimmery deep blue/green), and Greenstroke (discontinued, a shimmery silvery light mint green). The texture on these is just great--so incredibly smooth. The colors can be worn sheered out, or built up for more intense color. These are great worn alone, or with powder eyeshadow on top. Worn alone, they still have great length of wear. I can go pretty much a whole workday without creasing, and I have really oily lids. To get even greater length of wear, I like to put some eyeshadow primer underneath the Paint Pot. My favorite way to wear these is with shadow on top—they seem to feel a little sticky without powder to “set” them, and sometimes pick up my eyeliner (I have “hooded” eyelids). Because I end up putting shadow over them, I personally use these more as tinted eye primers than as cream shadows. I don't have any problems blending powder eyeshadow over Paint Pots. The packaging is great—sturdy glass, with a plastic lid. I store mine with the lid on tight, upside down in my makeup drawer, and haven't had any problems with them drying out at all! Not a single paint pot has pulled away from the edges of the glass even a little, and I've owned my three Paint Pots for at least a year and a half. The price is definitely right. You get a LOT of good quality product, and it lasts a long time. Compared to the price of other eyeshadow primers, it's very reasonable. To be honest, I don't use mine that often because I hate sticking my fingers in the pot to apply them. Yes, you can apply them with brushes, but I think fingers are better for application. Overall, I'd say that these are great products, whether you're looking for a cream eyeshadow or an eye primer. — 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Wonderful!
CliniqueLover (258 reviews)
One of my fave MAC products, I love using these as either a base for other shadows or just using them as creamy eyeshadow themselves. Fave shades are Bare Study, Rubenesque, Indianwood, and Painterly. — 5 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
