MAC Paint Pot Reviews

Good cream shadows
I have Bare Study, a pale gold shimmer shade with a hint of pink. I use it as a brow bone highlighter, or under light brown eyeshadows to give them a little more oomph. It's pigmented and soft, but a little finicky during application. — 2 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

This Shade: Groundwork: Is great!
I love paintpots. They are very easy to apply and they do not hurt when you apply it. The colour of the one I had: groundwork is one of my favourites. It really pops and makes people with darker skin's (tan) eyelids glow. It is great! (I find that other eye shadows hurt to apply. It also depends ALOT on the brush you use.) — 2 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Good Base
This makes for an excellent base but not necessary. Excellent for nude eyes. — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

makes my eyeshadows stay in place
Yes these are very nice and I have mine in bare study, but I do notice that when I put it on my eyelids it can look kind of drying if I don't put on concealer beforehand. Some may use this on the brow bone by itself, but I just use it as the base for my eyeshadow. Now when it comes to that, it gives great staying power and really brings out the colors in my eyeshadows. It's really weird because it looks so beautiful on my hand but once I try to put it on my eyelid it looks different. Maybe it's just me? — 3 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

i don't believe the hype
i had this in the color "painterly," and i wasn't impressed with it. it CREASED like crazy on my eyelids after only about 2 or 3 hours and doesn't particularly help my eyeshadows appear more vibrant or intense. it felt that it had a slight pinkish undertone to it, which i don't like on my yellow undertoned skin. it looks heavy on my lids and very fake and cakey. it's not easy to blend out (the urban decay primer potion blends so smoothly). instead, what works for me is using the revlon age defying moisturizing concealer and urban decay primer potion on top. for me, it works better than using the paintpot. never gonna buy a paintpot again — 3 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

Very average
Firstly I hate how heavy each one of these weigh, not good for traveling at all. The colour varieties are not that great at all. I have three of them, they work well and do have staying power but I find that once it gets dry it's not comfortable to have on and the colour loses it's stay. It's hard to control over the lid as well. I dont think I will buy another one so that's a big negative indicator for me — 3 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Paint Pots!
Love them! Hands down thats it. And I hate hate hate cream shadows. I use Painterly everyday as a base or sometimes by its self if im down on time. Since I've been using these I haven't had to worry about my shadows not staying on all day. — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

The Holy Grail....
These are the holy grail for eye lid/ eye shadow primers! I have this in Painterly and my eyeshadow no matter what kind does not budge or crease...i wish it was a bit more softer of a formula but its still amazing! — 3 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love them!!
I am African American and I have them in Delft, Painterly and Quite Natural. I use them with an eyeshadow base for extra crease protection. I use them before I use certain eyeshadows that I want to be intensified. I use all of them and I love them!! — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Multi use product!
I have been using MAC products for a few years now and it is the best! I have a few of the paint pots. I use painterly more often than not as an eyeshadow base and as a neutral base for underneath my slicker lipsticks and glosses. Sometimes all alone with a neutral liner and a light lip tint as not to let my lips get too dry. The paint pots are an essential in my makeup closet! — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
