MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot Eyeshadow - Ulta Beauty

I love this color so much. I blend this into Painterly for a super easy and long lasting eye look. I often just pop on some mascara and I'm good to go after that, but it is also a great start to a more dramatic look. Love it.

I use this almost every day I wear eye makeup, either by itself or as a base to the rest of the look. This is a makeup bag staple.

I've been using MAC Paint Pot for years. I actually use it as eyeliner to create a deep double eyelid. I hope MAC will NEVER discontinue this product because this is my life saver!

I'm trying to incorporate more eyeshadows into my everyday look and this is the thing I've been searching for. The shadow I knew existed, but haven't discovered until now. This color elevates my every day makeup look. It dries quickly and stays on all day, I just blend it as gently and as fast as possible, and it diffuses very beautifully over my eyelid. It's also very buildable. I'm excited to try the other colors. I'm wearing it on two different occasions in my review photos - in one photo I have 2 to 3 coats of it on and in another I only have one coat on.

I've never really played around much with eyeshadow and I'm starting to get into it and wanted something simple, easy and quick to throw on, and something that elevated every look. Since I've discovered this product, it's been a game changer. The color elevates my everyday natural make up look in such a subtle but noticeable way. It dries fast so the key is just blending quickly and when I do that it diffuses beautifully. I would buy these in more colors. They also hold up really well for oily lids.

Perfect to go under any type of eye makeup, evens out lid and easy to apply.

Using as a primer. Makes eyeshadow long wearing

super easy to use, makes my gray eyes pop, and it looks cool/edgy while still being very wearable.

Very good layers smothly

Very elegant not too dry

My introduction to MAC paint pots was using the black one with a brush as a long-wearing, easy to use gel eyeliner, which you could do with almost any of them. The one I use most and will always use is Painterly. It's almost a perfect match to my skin tone, so I either use it to brighten up my eye area on minimal makeup days, or as a primer. Eye primers and I typically do not get along. Most others I've tried either lift up when i try to blend out my eye makeup, or are so dry or tacky they simply don't allow blending. Applying makeup over properly applied Painterly is easy as applying makeup directly to my skin, except it stays in place all day. Application can be tricky til you get the hang of it. A tiny bit goes a long way, and you have about 15 seconds to blend it out before you absolutely can't. Once it dries, it will not blend or budge. Coverage is buildable, and this will look dry and cakey if you use too much. Less is more. I personally find brushes useless for primer and just use my fingertip. Don't blind buy these- go to the store and use a tester because some colors don't look the same as in the pot. Bougie, for instance, appears dark brown with blue flecks, but blends out to a hard to wear earthy red with green flecks,

It creased, it was dry looking and the color was darker than expected.

This is my one must have! I can wear it as a stand alone product or as a primer for my MAC eyeshadows, that increases wear time without creasing or smudging.

Like it a lot. It gives good long lasting coverage and is an excellent base to build upon.

Theirs is. Nothing like a MAC paint pot. It can be worn as an eyeshadow or primer. Once in place it stays put. No settling in fine lines.

Love this eye shadow - I put it on in the morning and forget it all day! Looks fresh the entire day.

I like to use this as my eyeshadow base. Nothing holds shadow onto your eyes as well as this in my opinion! 12 hour where for sure

I love this product. Perfect for my "no-makeup-days" as it has nice pigment to it, but blends in so well with my natural skin that I use it to conceal blemishes on my no-makeup-days. I also use it as a base before applying a heavier concealer to cover the really dark spots around my eyes. I hope MAC never discontinues this product as I have never seen anything else like it.

I am OBSESSED with the color Tailor Grey, but you have to work fast, as the product dries/gets gunky fairly quickly. It can also get manky with layering, so there's definitely a learning curve with paint pots. For reference, I'm applying it with my fingers, and would appreciate any brush recommendations that could cut down on application difficulty. I'm also considering picking up the mixing medium to extend the time before it sets. Still, the color & finish is worth the hassle of trying to finesse a product that applies less intuitively (for me, your experience may vary!) . Still, wish MAC would release this in a satin eyeshadow formulation, as that's much more user friendly, IMO!

Been using this for over 10 years and I will not ever stop. You can use it as an eyelid primer to really hold your eyeshadow all day and you can use it as concealer to cover up those puffy eyes or dark circles underneath. It also lasts a long time a little will go a long way.
