Details & care
What it is: A highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable formula that acts as a eye primer and cream eyeshadow.
What it does: The M·A·C Pro Longwear Paint Pot goes on as a creamy eyeshadow and dries to an intense, vibrant finish that lasts for 24 hours. The innovative second skin-like formula blends smoothly over lids and creates seamless, buildable coverage without looking heavy or cakey. Its superior color purity stays true and will not streak, crease or flake. Water-resistant, it can be mixed with other products like shadows and eyeliners.
How to use: Smooth eyeshadow over eye area with finger or brush.

I have been wanting this for YEARS!!
I love paint pots and have been wanting MAC to make a white one for years. When I found out that Nordstroms had this shade. I jumped online and purchased 2. This formula is incredible and I can’t not wait to create with this cream eyeshadow.

Melts away after a couple of hours unfortunately
I purchased shades Groundwork and Painterly with a view to using them as neutral bases for no-makeup days and when I'm going for a natural makeup effect. Unfortunately they have no staying power at all on me and melt away after a couple of hours. I do have slightly oily eyelids but having read reviews of how long wearing these paint pots are, I had high hopes. Disappointing as these two purchases are of no use to me at all.

Who doesn't love easy!
I love the color and tbe fact that it is easy to apply! I use it as a eyelid primer as well as alone for a less dressy day!

The Best!
I love these cream shadows. They act like a base for liners or shadows because they stay and don’t crease!

It’s a princess thing !
I bought it in the shade Painterly and Princess Cut , ok , so the painterly was a bit drier than I remember it to be, and the princess cut was ok, I like the princess cut because it was a bit moist and had a bit of glitter in it,

Stylish and Dependable
I love these MAC eye paints because they go on smoothly and are opaque. I am older and my eyelids need extra hep. I use my finger and sometimes a brush to blend the color.
