I just bought two of the paint pots tonight at the MAC store. The MA helping me said that these dry a bit faster than regular paints so you have to work a bit more quickly when applying shadows over these paints. I was kidding around with her and said, "well, I guess I'll work on one eye at a time. She said that would be a good idea.
This could be why your shadows didn't grab...maybe the paint had already dried.
I hope this helps

I can't wait to get these and try them out. Artifact looks wonderful. Anyone know of something to pair with it?

Delft is the best paint pot EVER and perfect with Parrot, Moth Brown, and Ether. I am in love with the paint pots. I want to get every single one of them. So far, I have Delft, Greensmoke, Bare Study, Indianwood, Fresco Rose, Stray Gray, and Artifact. I love every single one of them.

I was under the impression you were supposed to let the paint pots dry first - I waited a few minutes after applying to put on my eye shadow, now I can't wait to try it while the paint is still wet.

I gave it another chance and I now like it. I am doing the one eye at a time trick plus a thin layer of CCB is helping out a lot too. Thanks all.

This is a beautiful combo! Fresco Rose is almost the SAME shade as Girlie, only in paint form, so these together really make the pink POP. I wore this out on Friday night &my boyfriend said my eyes looked SO vibrant.

Fresco Rose was the only one I bought so far. I had a bit of an issue the 1st time I wore it, but I think that was because it was a little dried out on the top. Now that I've scraped through the first layer, its much smoother & more moisturizing. I really love the texture, especially because I had DRY eyelids! I will definitely be going back for more. Delft is next, then Indianwood, Artifact, Moss Scape, Rubenesque. Plus, I can't wait to see the colors in the McQueen collection! They definitely need to make a purple paint pot as well!

I had a similar issue but I did a live chat with MAC and they said to apply Fast Response Eye Cream or any eye cream I guess and this well help improve the texture and drying time. I had the issue first with the shadesticks but I've found that a lil eye cream helps a lot! I can't wait for new colors =) And yes...Fresco Rose and Girlie is fabulous...I did that one day with electra in the crease

I love all of them except Bare Study. It's beautiful in the pot, but I had a hard time getting eyeshadow to stick on it. I actually regretted using it in one of my makeup applications. I used it with Phloof, Stars N' Rockets, and and Contrast, and I could not get Stars N' Rockets to look the way I wanted it to look. I had to apply 500 layers of eyeshadow to get it to look decent. I haven't had any other problems with the other paints.

Fingers (after removing it from the pot), the 242 works well,.. also the small shader.

The sonia Kashuk concealer brush or the mac concealer brush works well too. Just some that I have had luck with.
