PAINTERLY MAC POT FULL
I have such confidence that the eye shadow on top will last the full day so I use this product on every single client. Personally, my favourite way to use paint pots are as an eye shadow primer. They are often described as a pigmented cream eye shadow that truly last all day long.
Paint pots are versatile and can be used on their own and in conjunction with pressed eye shadows or loose pigments.
PAINTERLY MAC POT HOW TO
To be honest, until my makeup training I too had no idea what this product was, how to use it or the power it has. When working with my clients I often get asked what this product is and how to use it. This was my first time trying a paint pot and I do have to say it is a solid product, amazing when you use it as the eyeshadow base.A go to pro product for all makeup artists are the MAC pro longwear paint pots.
PAINTERLY MAC POT SKIN
Overall I do think this is a cute idea which can truly work if you happen to have a skin tone that matches one of the paint pot colours exactly. You can also use it on blemishes and other imperfections, for me it felt too heavy on the face (I do have oily skin). It looks better if I wear heavy duty foundation. Bare in mind that this is a very matte product and I normally go for a dewy face, so while the rest of my face is dewy my under the eye area looks completely matte. In great light (like this light when I took the photos) you can't tell it's not a perfect match, but most of the time it looks a bit grayish on me. I found out that the best way to apply it is with a beauty blender. It applies gorgeously and is pigmented enough to cover dark circles. These would be my exact words for this experiment. When I asked my sister how it looked on me, she said that it works and doesn't work in the same time.
I guess this is what happens when you don't have a range of actual concealer colours to try from, still I am impressed by how close it got.
What's the verdict after wearing it for a while? Well, the shade is very close to my skin tone, but not a perfect match. And it indeed is a gorgeous eye shadow base. None of them are the exact match, but I thought if the experiment fails I can always use my paint pot as an eye shadow base. For me the closest shade to my skin tone was Painterly, although I could've gone with Soft ochre as well. The idea behind this article I saw is that if you have a skin tone that perfectly matches one of MAC's paint pots shades (which is rare, but it happens) you can use it as concealer. I mean, who doesn't like to look well rested and dark circles free all the time. I wouldn't say I try everything I see online, but this idea of using MAC's paint pot in the shade Painterly as a concealer did intrigue me. A lot of great makeup artists will also tell you to not limit yourself with the primary purpose of the product, it really doesn't have to be by the book, you can experiment all you want. You know how we often hear that in the ''beginnings of makeup'' everyone used products for many different purposes, for example lipstick for both lips and cheeks and mascara for eyebrows as well.
