I just received my first paint pot in delft! woo! Although, the formula seems a bit dry to me. I'm not sure if it's just cold from being shipped or if something is wrong with mine. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I was in bloomingdales yesterday I saw Delft, Artifact and all those favorites. Delft is really pretty. Paint pots just aren't my thing, though. I have Soft Ochre and I have yet to use it.

I love paint pots than any other base. They are so versatile!
Pros:
Vast colors to choose from and finishes (matte or shimmer)
Moist
Blend-able
Budge-proof
Not too thick and not too thin consistency
Can be used as a shadow itself or a base - versatility!
Cons:
If not kept properly, they will dry out but not entirely
If not blended out properly on the lid, it will flake bc of the thickness
I love p/ps and MAC has yet to make something better for me to ever leave them.

I just finished my second pot of Painterly. I do have other paint pots too but I obviously use Painterly the most. I've also made a huge dip in Cashflow
hope they repromote it again soon...
Besides those I also have:
- Fresco Rose
- Rubenesque
- Arftifact (love, love, love this one - hit the pan on this too)
- Delft
- Greenstroke

I have blue eyes and use constructivist paint pot as a liner on top and bottom lash line, but not on the waterline. Really makes my blue eyes stand out. It will smudge/rub off if you rub at your eyes, but no more, if anything probably less, than an eye kohl liner would.

Re: Need advice/help with paint pots
I have a slightly different question. I really hope this is the right place to ask it. (I usually don't use the forum part of specktra so this is new for me) I have a bare study pp and i like to use it under pigments but I have had a problem with it creasing. does anyone know what could be causing that and/or what can i do to avoid it?
I would really appreciate any advice you can offer!

^^^^ Artifact for purple and pink, maybe coral crepe too, it looks like it would work
Delft for blues and greens, if you can find it. the black paintpot, blackground, is good for a smokey eye base. i don'k like it personally cause it has a sheen to it. I prefer the black grease paint stick.

these sound like lovely combos
sometimes i just like using rubenesque on it's own with some winged black liner for a super quick look!
