So let’s talk about another brilliant trick which everyone should do after finishing the whole eye makeup. I’ve also been using Bare Study to do a “cut crease” look as well but that is like way too advance in eye makeup, which I will talk about some other time eventually. Reason #4 – Using as concealer for under eye clean-up Most cream eyeshadow needed to be set with powder eyeshadow or for the color payoff. If I need to intensify the color payoff, I would then dab some more onto the area where I don’t have any eyeshadow on. After I sweep Bare Study all over the lid as an eyeshadow base, I notice that the pigmentation is intense enough that I no longer need to apply a lighter / satin shade on the 1/3 of the inner eye to brighten the whole look.

The quick-drying formula is what make this such an amazing product to work with. Paint Pot is nothing like I’ve ever used. I’m not a fan of cream base eyeshadow in general. Painterly work just as well, the only difference is that it will be matte. A little bit is all I need to instantly brighten my eyes without looking too shimmery. On days where I need more highlight on the brow bone, I would use Bare Study along the under brow line. One of the best trick I’ve learnt is to use a concealer to carve out the eyebrow for a sharper and cleaner look. Reason #2 – As a highlighter on the brow bone / inner corner eye / lower lash line

If you do plan to get Paint Pot as your eyeshadow Base, go with either Painterly (lighter shade) or Soft Ochre (warmer shade), depending on your skin tone. There is absolutely no creasing, no meltdown and last the whole day on my oily lid. Once I sweep on the eyeshadow, it’s not even noticeable anymore 😀 However nothing that eyeshadow can’t do to hide the darker tone or the shimmery of both Paint Pot. Bare Study is the perfect fit for my skin tone but because it is shimmery, I only used it accordingly to the eyeshadow of the day. I too jumped into the bandwagon and used it mainly as eyeshadow base. It performed 100 times better than any other eyeshadow base for example the highly raved UDPP. Remember I said earlier that I bought these Paint Pot eye cream as an eye base but soon discovered these isn’t just an ordinary cream that only work as eye base? Here is my top 4 reasons on why you need MAC Paint Pot and how you can incorporate them in your everyday makeup.ĭespite being a cream shadow, many beauty guru used it as eye base thanks to it’s non-tacky, long lasting formula. Once it dries, it set completely without budging. This eye cream dries down fast with no down time. When working with Paint Pot, you need to be fast. Bare Study is a teeny bit easier to blend while Layin’ Low is drier but still blends well although not as effortlessly as Bare Study. Bare Study is a beautiful frosty, shimmery light gold and Layin’ Low is a darker matte finish cream that goes well with medium to dark skin tone. Here is the swatch of both Bare Study and Layin’ Low on the back of my hand. It works just as well as I expected BUT I wasn’t expecting how diversify these Paint Pot can be. Then again, the very main reason I bought these is to be used as an eye base before eyeshadow. I wasn’t expecting Bare Study to be shimmery and I certainly didn’t expect Layin’ Low to be darker that what it looks like from the outside. Well, I’m just going to call these Paint Pot 😀

I took a quick glance at MAC website and Paint Pot is now referred as Pro Longwear Paint Pot. All these while I know these pots as “Paint Pot” but Layin’ Low is labeled under Pro Longwear Paint Pot. The reason why I chose this duo is because Bare Study is the lightest shade available but unfortunately it was paired in a pack with Layin’ Low. I managed to take my sweet time choosing the right pack with the right shade for me and so I went home with MAC Paint Pot Bare Study and Layin’ Low. MAC did indeed had a box of Paint Pot on clearance.

I made a beeline to MAC right after stopping by Bobbi Brown. I knew I would be going to the annual Estée Lauder warehouse sales so I hold on to my purchase at the store, hoping MAC would throw in a few pots at the sale event. Two of the most mentioned Paint Pot is Painterly and Soft Ochre, which unfortunately is not the two that I’m about to talk about today. I’ve been wanting to get MAC Paint Pot ever since I heard about it from various Youtube beauty gurus.
