Woohoo! I’m soooooo excited! As many of you know, I’m in the process of starting an online business. Well, I finally figured out what to name my brand of products. But before sharing it with you, I need to make sure the name I have in mind is not in use by some other company. (Crossing my fingers! Lol.) Anyways, I need to do a little research on the United States Patent and Trademark database. And after I’ve checked the name against any possible trademark violations, I will be able to comfortably trademark or register the name I chose for my products. (Apparently, there is a difference between having a ® or a ™ next to your brand name. Lol.)
I’ll go into more details about my online business as soon as I get all the legal stuff sort out.
Okay my lovelies, now on to the review.
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.
What I say:
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 can be used as a base for your eyeshadow or if you prefer, you can use it alone as a cream eyeshadow.
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:
-
Prep your eyes by applying a layer of concealer to your eyelids.
-
With a small brush, set the concealer by dusting a little loose powder over your lids.
-
Apply eyeshadow.
This simple tip will help your eyeshadows adhere to your skin better and most importantly stay on your lids all day.

Before you can even start thinking about foundation colors, you need to decide what type of coverage you need.
Are your lashes straight or do you want to make your eyes look bigger? Then start off by curling your clean eyelashes with an eyelash curler.
After curling your eyelashes, the next step is to apply mascara to your top lashes. Dip the brush into the mascara tube and remove the brush from the tube in one pull. Slightly tilt your head back, look down into a mirror and hold the brush parallel to your eyelid. 
Apply mascara to your bottom lashes by turning the wand vertically and carefully moveing it from side to side. When applying mascara to your lower lashes, less is always better. So before you coat you lower lashes, use a tissue to wipe off any excess mascara on your brush.
