MAC Paint Pots...what's your favorite?

[ellacoach]

definately Bare Study. I only use it on it's own though, rarely as a base. It's gorgeous!

I forgot to add that I use Painterly over TFSI primer. I have slightly oily lids so I prefer the extra layer. Then my e/s stays put the whole day! I also didn't have good results with Bare Study. It didn't apply smoothly and was not a good base for e/s.

That's what I do, too! I swear my eyeshadow does not budge when I've got that combo on.

It's so great not to have to worry about it! Actually, I do touch up eye liner usually on the waterline when I going out after work, but that's it!

handsdown, painterly and rubenesque! I use both also as my only e/s for neutral everyday looks

So...I had to go to Border's this afternoon to pick up a new lap desk (who in the world goes shopping specifically for lap desk, anyway????) and I got sucked into the Macy's MAC counter. :shame:

I left with the Artifact and Indianwood Paint Pots.

Will post pics ASAP, but I just want to say that they are both beautiful!!! If you are into bronzy colors like me, try Indianwood. And Artifact is gorgeous as well - it's a shimmery wine, but lighter on than in the pot. I think that it will be perfect as a case for purple, wine, brown, and mauve shadows.

FYI: My Macy's already has a lot of the Spring Colour Forecast stuff in but they aren't allowed to put it out until the 11th. (Trust me, I tried...but my pull can only take me so far!!!)

I currently have Painterly, Rubenesque and Green Stroke. Rubenesque & Green Stroke are gorgeous colors!

Painterly is my favorite ever. I find it much more creamy and easy to use than Soft Ochre -- maybe I got a bad batch.

I have Painterly and Soft Ochre and I find the same thing about them that you said. Painterly is very creamy and easy to apply. Where as Soft Ochre seems a bit...dry.


And I find that if I wear the paint pots with no primer underneath my eye make up disappears quickly. But if I use FY Eye by Benefit eye primer and then put the paint pot and eye shadow, my eye make up does not budge!

^I have tried a thin layer of UDPP underneath the paint pots and it's making a world of difference in terms of staying power.

Artiface arrived today and Girl Friendly yesterday, I didn't have time to play with it this morning though! Fresco Rose should be here by this Friday.

 

[Loquita]

Am wearing Girl Friendly today - I love it on its own, but I also layered a bit of Scene on top (with Yogurt as a very soft highlight, and some Typographic very well blended into the crease) and the paint pot makes brings the purple in Scene out.

 

[knics33]

painterly. hands down my favorite eyeshadow base. also, laying a small amount of UDPP under painterly and your makeup will not budge

Lo, how do you use graphology without it being scary dark?

Great question! I have Carbon and I don't use it much because it's so dark! Do tell!
