I don’t normally go for pricey products, but MAC Paint Pots are most definitely worth the cost. This means that one pot could easily last you for a few months, maybe longer. £16 a pot might seem like a lot, but because of how pigmented the shadows are, you’ll only need to use a tiny amount each time. They’re easy to work with, blend well, are long-lasting and water-resistant, plus they are highly pigmented and come in a range of beautiful colours. ![]() However, that’s the only fault I can find with them. All you need to do is pop the jar into the microwave for 10 seconds and the formula will soon soften up again.īecause the packaging is quite heavy and made of glass, MAC Paint Pots aren’t ideal for travel. If you do forget to put the lid back on, all is not lost. That’s why, each time after use, it’s essential to pop the lid back on ensuring that it’s tightly screwed into place. My brushes of choice are So Eco brushes, they’re made from natural fibres and are lovely and fluffy, so not only pick up the colour well but also are great for blending.Ī word to the wise, because the formula is cream based, if you leave the lid off it can easily dry out. You could use your finger to apply it, but I find that using a brush is more effective. Sometimes, I like to apply the ‘paint’ to my lids and then add a dusting of light, shimmery shadow to add a little sparkle.įor applying the shadow, I tend to swap between my two shadow brushes – one large and one small. Because of how pigmented it is a little goes a very long way, so although the pots are small, they last well. The formula is beautifully soft and creamy, making it super easy to apply and blend. Because it’s a vibrant shade, Perky looks lovely when worn alone on my lids as well as when used as a base for pink-toned powder shadows. My pot, Perky, is a beautiful pinky-peach colour and comes in a satin finish that adds a warm, pinky wash to my lids. ![]() What I love about the MAC paint pots is the fact that they come in a range of shades – 23 to be exact, and a range of finishes satin, pearl, cream and frost. Cream-based, can be mixed with M♺♼ shadows and liners. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. The next generation of a popular M♺♼ formula, Paint Pots maintains all the intense traits of its inspiration. Plus, they’re incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of different things, from priming and lining the eyelids to being used as a standalone eyeshadow.įrom the MAC UK website: A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. However, after testing out my new Paint Pot in Perky, I can see why the price is so high, and that’s because the quality is high. Normally £16 per Paint Pot, MAC’s most popular eyeshadow pots are a little pricey. I couldn’t have been more excited because MAC is a brand that’s been on my makeup ‘must-try’ list for a while. However, after joining a blogger group on Facebook for makeup swaps and sales, I managed to pick up one of the MAC Longwear Paint Pots for a reduced price. The reason for this was purely because the products have always seemed quite expensive compared to other brands. MAC is a brand that until recently, I’d never used.
