M.A.C Paint Pot Eye Shadows. Plus One Fabulous MakeUp Tip!

The Website says: A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners.


Okay my lovelies, now on to the review:

This paint pot DOES hold up to all of its claims.  It really is a creamy and long lasting product!   And it comes in nine different shades for you to choose from.   The colors range from your typical beige hues to lovely browns and black-gray. 

MAC’s paint pots are cream eye shadows but can be used as a base for your eyeshadows.

I currently use MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.  I really like this shade, it’s a yellow beige that almost disappears against my skin and I just LOVE useing it as an eyeshadow base. 

(For the picture below, I used MAC’s eyeshadow in Pink Venus.)

Eyeshadows apply easily and beautifully over MAC’s Paint Pots.  It makes all of your eyeshadows last all day.  Trust me, at the end of the day, your eye makeup will look exactly like it did when you first applied it.  Plus it works great with any brand of eyeshadow.

Overall, I DO reccomend MAC’s Paint Pots.  They’re absolutely AMAZING! 

One Fabulous MakeUp Tip:

However, just in case you currently CAN’T or you just DON’T WANT TO buy another beauty product, you can make your eyeshadows longer lasting by using products you already own.

Here’s what you need:

  • Face Powder (Loose, translucent powder works best.)
  • Concealer
  • Small Makeup Brush (I use the small blush brushes.)

Here’s what you do:

  1. Prep your eyes by applying a layer of concealer to your eyelids.
  2. With a small brush, set the concealer by dusting a little loose powder over your lids. 
  3. Apply eyeshadow.

This simple tip will help your eyeshadows adhere to your skin better and most importantly stay on your lids all day.
