review: mac paint pots







likes
-makes eyeshadow vibrant
-comes in a lot of different colors and finishes
-doesn't crease so a base isn't necessary
-easily applied with either fingers or a brush
-the packaging is pretty

dislikes
-product can be drying on the lids ( you have to blend quickly)
-the breakable glass packaging
-expensive
-if you don't blend it properly it can kinda look cakey

would i purchase again?
probably not, with products like udpp & tfsi you can't find a better base and nyx's jumbo eye pencils are as vibrant and easier to blend. it's also cheaper.

  1. I use Bare Study every day! It's my staple :) But it does get cakey if not blended fast. Only good thing is that they really last through the day

  2. I only tried samples of these, I've always thought they are great bases but you're right, UDPP is enough for me :)

  3. @p chan - yes i agree with you! i think it's so great that it lasts all day!

    @nikki udpp or tfsi is the best alternatives :) these are kinda expensive :(

  7. I have Painterly and I don't use it much at all... which sucks because of how much I paid for it.
