Mac Paint Pots :)

"Paint pots" are one of macs maybe not so popular product to the everyday customer but for me its a case of I cant live without!!

To date I only have four of the paint pots available to buy. I started off with a golden tint one years ago called "Rubenesque" and I still have which is in perfect condition and still very wearable and gorgeous (I still have lots left). It is a sheer colour, but you can build it up perfectly to create a more vibrant look. Smooth and easy to blend.

Then I bought the most popular of the paint pots, "Painterly" and I must say, this is the best money I have ever spent. I wear this as an eyeshadow almost every day over the last year and I still have almost half a pot left. It is a neutral colour with pinky undertones, looks fabulous on its own, teamed with a brown in the crease or it also works really well with a purple colour. I love it, as it stays on all day without budging and even lasts until the next day (if you don't take your makeup off at night, which we all do)!! This paint pot is also easy to blend and quite smooth to use.

This is what the packaging looks like.

Paint pots are by FAR the most long lasting, best value for money and have fantastic colours available to buy. They are basically, a cream texture, in a pot, which you can use as an eye base, an eye shadow or else to make another colour pop by adding the same or slightly different shade of powder shadow to the eye, or change a shade of eye shadow and create a unique different colour. They are a cream in the pot but dry to a smooth vibrant finish.

Here are the shades I have in order: Rubenesque (golden peach with gold pearl) (frost) , Painterly ( nude beige cream) (cream) , Groundwork ( chocolate brown) (cream) and Dangerous Cuvee (is a new pro longwear pot and is a purple/grey metallic colour)

These are the lovely colours I have at the moment

These are Swatches of the colours

     

Rubenesque & Painterly 

Dangerous Cuvee & Groundwork 

                     

Groundwork is a more newer one that I own and I have only used it and Dangerous Cuvee a few times.   Groundwork is a more drier consistency to use, so you have to work a little more quicker when applying to the eyes. Dangerous Cuvee is creamy and frosted and works lovely with a pigment or a purple colour over it.


I absolutely LOVE these products and can't wait to get my hands on more of them & have them in every colour :)
