MAC Paint Pot

MAC paint pot is available from MAC shops and maccosmetics.co.uk and currently retails at £11.75. They are part of the permanent collection and also have limited edition shades available with certain limited edition collections but the permanent shades currently consist of 12 different colours. The packaging is quite simple and is made of a clear glass jar with a black plastic screw on lid. Underneath the jar you'll find a sticker with the colour name and some product info. These paint pots are of a creamy consistency and can be used as a cream eye shadow or even as an eye shadow base; to even out skin colour or help to make the shadow colours more ...  Read the complete review

MAC released the 'Paintpots' as part of a large, new collection and without all the hype / marketing that came with it I probably wouldn't have rushed out to buy them. As a great user and fan of the regular Paint formula, I wasn't really looking for a new eyeshadow base but decided to give them a try anyway. The 'Paintpots' are packaged in small glass jars, similar to the 'Fluidline' Gel liners but larger. They are £12.00 for 3g but last forever, even with daily use. There are 12 permanent shades - ranging from pale, creamy nudes to shimmery deep greens and blacks - plus some limited edition colours that MAC has released with other collections. Marketed as ...  Read the complete review

For a long time I've loved MAC's vast range of eyeshadows - any colour under the sun is pretty much guaranteed to be included in their collection and in variety of finishes to boot! My only real gripe with them is that I find that they tend to crease on my eyelids halfway through the day which is a real problem if you tend to be drawn towards the brighter colours. I was interested in purchasing a primer to help tackle this problem, and before heading into the MAC store I was all prepared to buy MAC's standard primer for eyes - Prep & Prime. But when I got chatting to one of the makeup girls she convinced me that their Paint Pots actually make a wonderful primer, as ...  Read the complete review

I've used MAC for the last couple of years, and I've even managed to get my Mum and friends hooked on them too. Up until last year I had been skeptical about wearing eyeliner - I wasn't confident at putting it on and making it even. I went into MAC and the girls in there have built up my confidence and showed me how to apply the paint pots as eyeliner. I find that as it is a cream consistency when you put it on, it manipulates really well, so if you want a definite line, or if you are looking to smudge with other eye colours, it has the ability to do that. Only a couple of minutes after its been applied it's virtually smudge proof (unless you want to moisten ...  Read the complete review

I have only recently just started using Mac as I have always thought id never spend that much on makeup but i thought i would give it a try as I had heard so many good reviews about it. I decided to get a paint pot in 'rubenesque' as i was told that it was a really wearable colour which would go with my skin tone. This is such a nice colour its like a gold/coral, it comes out creamy but when its on your lid it dries so there are no creases. It is a brilliant base for eyeshadows or it can be just worn on its own for a sheer glow. I have also just bought another paint pot in 'bare study' which is a much more natural colour which could be used as a base or even ...  Read the complete review
