MAC Paint Pots

 MAC Paint Pots are amazing! They work great alone as a cream eyeshadow and/or as an eyeshadow base. They go on creamy and dry to a nice even finish. MAC paint pots stay put without any creasing for some. I personally can't use Paint Pots without an eyeshadow primer or they will crease :(. I guess it depends whether you have oily lids.

I have a total of five paint pots in my collection so far. The only one that I feel I am missing is Groundwork. I want it now :)

(left to right)  
Top row: Bare study, Indianwood 
Bottow row: Rubennesque, Soft Ochre, Painterly

(L to R) 
Indianwood(metallic antique bronze)
Bare Study(soft beige w/gold pearl)
Rubenesque(golden peach w/gold pearl)
Painterly(Nude beige
Soft Ochre(Yellow beige)

I can't choose a favorite but I recently picked up Soft Ochre and have been using it every day:) I like it more than Painterly paint pot! :-X What's your favorite paint pot? or Which one do you reach for daily?

  1. I really like bare study, it's almost like Urban Decay's Primer Potion in Sin..I have painterly too, but I think I might have to buy a new one because it kind of smells funky. But I haven't really used it :/

  2. @ grace: nice, I didn't know it was similar to UDPP in sin. Good to know! Wait, why does your painterly paint pot smell funny? That's weird! lol

  4. I had it for like...three years now? And I read that if your makeup smells funny, you should throw it away. I was curious so I compared the two and painterly just seems way off..or maybe it's supposed to smell like that? I have no idea hahaha

  7. painterly can look pink on people, I have read that over and over again, and judging by your swatch, it does look that way. I don't have any paint pots, but I've got a sample of bare study a few times and it's lovely!

  11. I own soft ochre, but I think it makes me look weird, I should change it for Painterly =/

    Umm, they crease on me too, I def need a base for them, I bought them to prevent buying a primer, that didn't work out as planned...lol

  15. I love painterly paint pot! I use it almost daily. I really need to get my hands on Rubenesque though. I'm obsessed with the color and it's been on my list for awhile. Hmm..this may call for a trip to MAC in the very near future lol. I've been trying to hold back so that I can save for the To the Beach Collection since I want just about everything in the entire collection lol.
