Mac Paint Pots



Photobucket


I have a new obsession.....Mac Paint Pots.  I love how you can use these alone or under eyeshadows to give a more intense finish. I have 3 at the moment....Bare Study, which is a soft beige with gold pearl, Quite Natural, a dirty chocolate brown and Blackground, Black-Grey with multi-colour.


These are creamy and once applied set to a powdery finish. Once they set they literally do not move on my lids. I can wear these alone or pop a shadow on top and they last on my lids all day without creasing!

You can apply a light coating or build up to a much more iuntense finish, using either a brush or your fingers. I also find that these look gorgeous when simply worn alone. I've been wearing Bare Study to work for the last 4 weeks....it's just so convenient to pop some on my finger, sweep over my lids and blend out. Takes seconds and looks lovely....evens out the colour of my eye lids and adds a slight sheen, making me look fresh and awake, just what is needed at 7am, when I feel exhausted!



Here is Quite Natural Paint Pot that I wore today. Again, on it's own, applied with a Mac 217 brush and blended out...up into the crease and also under my eyes. Such a beautiful colour, and again, very buildable, I like to wear it as a simple wash of colour which looks softer and not too heavy for the day time.

I can't wait to get my hands on some more.....I love them that much I can see my self collecting them all!
