MAC Painterly Pro Longwear Paint Pot Review and Swatches By Contributor: Ranita Natural Beauty is the best kind of beauty. The essence of natural make up is to make you look like yourself, only more polished.

A must have product for this effect is the MAC Pro-Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly which I will review and swatch today. The MAC Paint pots are thick cream that are packages in cute glass pots with black plastic screw-on caps. The packaging has weight and feels like it is good quality. I have actually dropped some of my paint pots from quite a height (#typical klutzy Ranita!!). While the glass pot has a small crack, the product is intact and the pot is still going strong!

MAC Painterly Paint Pot Review Painterly has a very thick formulation. It has a blushing Nude colour –, almost beige, with a tinge of pink. It has a very matte finish – not even a hint of shine. It feels creamy when rubbed onto the skin, not grainy or chalky at all, and it spreads evenly.

But while being applied, it very quickly dries and sticks in place. Once it is set, nothing can make it budge. I love the colour of this paint pot. The colour complements almost every skin tone beautifully.

It just seems very natural and polished. My favourite way to wear this product as an is with a satin finish brown or taupe in the crease.There is no creasing or caking at all.

The best way to work with this paint pot is to use your finger. Swirl your finger a couple of times in the pot and pat it onto your eye-lid.

Also great is a brush with synthetic hair. I recommend the MAC 242. Very little of this product is enough to apply a pigmented layer over both eye lids, so one pot will last a really long time.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of dipping your finger into the paint pot, you could scape out a thin layer using a small spoon or thin blade. One thing to note is that this is a very dry sort of formula. Once on the skin, it has to be blended in immediately and one needs to be very quick while working with this product. It is excellent for oily eyelids, because on application it becomes very matte and dry. But if you are like me and have super dry eyelids; this product can only be applied on top of some eye cream or moisturizer.

Otherwise it is extremely difficult to use. Also if using a brush, a lot of the product clings to the brush and it has to be cleaned thoroughly after each use.

PROS of MAC Painterly Paint Pot: • Lovely colour. Best printers for mac air. Works well with most skin tones. • Intense pigmentation. Little bit of the product goes a long way. • Great eye-shadow base.

Slippery kajal stay put. Mail merge in word. Eye shadow colours appear brighter. • Brilliant for people with oily eyelids.

Gives a very matte finish. • Extremely long lasting.

Will only come off when makeup remover is used. CONS of MAC Painterly Paint Pot: • Very very dry formula.

If you have dry lids – using this will not be easy. • Dries and sets in place very quickly. Very little time to work with the product.

• A little difficult to use: dipping in the ring finger is not very hygienic and no scoop or scrapper has been provided. If a brush is used, a lot of product is left over on it.

Whenever I first got into makeup, all I heard about was Mac Paint Pots--especially Painterly. Every once in a while someone would mention Soft Ochre Paint Pot, but not nearly as often. Both of them were always described as 'a nude skintone color' so I always wondered-- if they're both a nude skintone color, what's the difference between them? Every time I would go to Mac, I would swatch Painterly (the most popular) on my hand and it never looked right. After a long time of confusion, I finally figured out why Painterly didn't work for me and why Soft Ochre does, and I have been using it ever since. Although I absolutely love my Soft Ochre Paint Pot, Painterly is more popular because it works for a greater variety of people.
