The promise was that these paint pots were going to take the place of MAC Paints which tended to be a bit irritating and frustrating to work with for some people. When MAC first came out with their paint pots, I thought it would be an exciting development. True MAC Paint Pot in Painterly is one of my very favoite makup items They make other neutral shades as well, such as Bare Ochre, which is more suited towards lighter skin types. And Painterly just happens to be one of my favorites All of the colors are excellent! Forgets other primers this should be your go-to.

I have never found a product comparable to MAC's Paint Pots. The eye shadows go on more vibrantly You can see the colors more than if you applied them directly to the lid. I apply this to my eyelid, put some powder over it to set it, then apply my eyeshadow and eyeliner. It also lasts a really long time I get a new pot every few months. I have very oily eye lids, and when I say that the eye shadow doesn't go ANYWHERE, I mean it! Say good bye to creases and fading colors. Painterly is a neutral cream that I use as an eyeshadow primer. I think I have gone through at least 5 pots of MAC's Paint Pots in Painterly this year. When I wash off my makeup in the evening, it is sometimes the only thing besides my mascara that is still on. It doesn't crease at all and lasts all day long. I have tried many other eye primers, and they just don't have the coverage that the paint pot has. This stuff is talked about so much for a reason. I usually use a concealer brush to apply it and then I set it with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

I like to add Rosehip Seed Oil so that my lids get a little extra hydration, and it also helps the paint pot to be a little more spreadable. It is the one thing that really brightens up my appearance and makes me look alive. The paint pot is amazing for covering up the imperfections and prepping my lids for eye shadow, but most days I just wear it on it's own. I have very fair skin, and unfortunately my eyelids are super purple and my veins stick out pretty obviously.
