paint pots as a base.

i was not happy! my shadow looked a touch more vibrant, but the crease was not happening! no paint pots for me.

i guess it's like CCB, some people can use them as a base, some can't.

I used the Paint Pots on every single customer this past weekend and sold the crap out of them! We did the same thing that Clairesauntie did (the sort-of mask) and they stayed put all day long without a smudge or smear. They are fantastic, and I've been wearing them on a daily basis...no creasing at all!

OOh these posts are totally making me excited to go to MAC this weekend

 

[claresauntie]

I'd be interested to hear about the way they last with people with watery eyes if the Paint Pot dries first. The product is supposed to be waterproof... after a dry-down time of about a minute or so, I wonder if you watery-eyed folk would have better luck? Anyone???

I bought Constructivist on Sunday and Greenstroke (with Ether) today. Wow, I love them so far! I didn't get Painterly because I still have almost a full tube of Untitled paint, and want to try to use it up, though it may take a century--paints have really lasted for me!

I can't recall the brown e/s I used on top of the Constructivist, but it stayed on really well! Today, my MA used Greenstroke on one eye and Delft on the other as a base, then used Ether on the outer crease and lid and Haux on the crease with Ether on top. It looked super! I had put some Fresco Rose under the brow to check it out and all together, it looked so good, and now I want to buy the Fresco Rose. I chose the Greenstroke instead of the Delft, because it seemed more practical for a day eye. The Delft looks like a smoky eye color to me.

Anyway, I want more paint pots....

At the end of a 9-hour day, the colors where all exactly where I put them, and the color intensity was the same, too. Ladies: these are no transfer and no-smudge. I tried to smudge them for a few customers, and it didn't impact the design at all. (Each customer who saw me do that bought a Paint Pot. ) Of course, I was truly won-over when they came off my face easily when I washed after work. And the black one didn't even stain my NW15 skin!

Would you post a pic of your mask? I would LOVE to see this. That goes for any person who has done this.

My Rubenesque and Bare study were dry before my eyes started to water. Some woman at work always smells like a cheap whore and it kills me. My drive into work is 45 minutes so I expect it would be dry by then. Some days I just have a slightly watery eye all day,... (High pollen days) and it just kinda stays moist in the crease ( I have that disappearing overlap crease),... paint pots are a NO NO on these days,.. I just have to suck it up,. Dry the crease and apply a paint or a fluidline as fast as I can and dry it quickly to go all day without watery eye creasing. I will say however,.. I do still love paint pots for other reasons,.. and just like a CCB,.. will wear it over paint on those irk-some days.

It was about 100 degrees yesterday in Washington DC and I was meeting a friend for lunch and my paint pot didn't crease on me at all. And I have oily skin.

They work well for some and maybe not for others.

 

[jenii]

I definitely want Fresco Rose. Seems like it'd be good base to actually make Girlie show up on my lids. ~_~

 

[FacesbyNiki]

It's a beautiful color.

I love the Paint Pots, I hope that they make more purples and pinks, but I don't find the lightest color (bare study?) effective as a e/s primer. I find that UDPP is much more effective. Just my 2 cents.

 

[MisaMayah]

I went to my MAC counter yesterday and loved them I wanted like 6 of them but i'm not working at the moment so I was bitterly disappointed. AND THEN I remembered they're apart of the permanent collection so yay!! No rush.

Also I think using your fingers is the best way to apply them. For bacteria issues just keep a little spatula for each colour and scoop what you need out of the pot then wash the spatula for the next use.

 

[Iridescence]

I had no interest in this collection which is a first in some time! But then my mom surprised me and bought me two and now I have 5 of them!!! I love them!

I use UDPP as a base and then the paint pot as a second base and my make up stays on for more than 16 hours without creasing or moving!

So far I've tried:
rubenesque with melon pigment over top...I did an eotd if you're interested...thread is called "I want tomorrow..."

and today I am wearing, indian wood with twinks in the outer corners and blacktrack to line with greenplay LLL on top of the liner.

The one thing I really like about the paint pots is that you can wear it alone or with another color and it doesn't look like a paint.

 

[Karyn]

I wore Ether over Greenstroke with Haux over Black Tied on the crease and Shroom to the brow. A miracle--Zero crease issue! Dry and perfectly in place all day!

Didn't even need to reapply any shadow like I usually do. I'll see how it is wehn I get home from a meeting I have this evening.

6 am to 10 pm: No crease issues! The color stayed on, though a bit faded. I love it! Picked up a Bare Study too. I hope I like it! I see a comment here that it is not a good e/s primer, but I think I read in an earlier post that is good alone. We shall see!

I wore indianwood with woodwinked and romp yesterday, did all my errands including my outside ones and spent 2 hours in the gym hitting walls and my eyes were exactly as they'd been when I left in the a.m.

our trainers told us they were not waterproof, and the update book doesn't say waterproof. were you told they were? it would be nice to know for sure.

You girls are going to think I've lost my mind....but....I bought one paint pot "Painterly" and I hate it. Thought I'd try it out before buying them all. Glad I did that cuz it does not grab my eyeshadows at all. I don't get it. The only way I got it to work was to put a little bit of ccb over it. Anyone else having this problem or just me?

 

[Bernadette]

I love em. I've been using them at counter on pretty much every customer.
I think the paint pots apply to an older eye better than any other base. They smooth on over any crepey-ness and help fill in that texture.
I was told at update that paint pots are more of an 8 hour wear whereas paints are more of a 12 hour wear. I'm still testing out the wear time for myself.
I wore Mossscape with Copperized pigement over it yesterday for about 11 hours and had no creasin, rub-off or anything.

One of my favorite looks is Brown Down shadow in the crease, Artifact paint pot all over the lid, and Clare De Lune shadow to highlight. Beautiful.

 

[annielise]

For me the most fool-proof way of wearing the paint pots (and a whopping 12 hours or more of staying power) is to layer the paint pot over Beige-ing shadestick, then use the shadows over these 2.
