(Plus, it is rare that products actually go as long as 12, let alone 16, hours without some sign(s) of wear.) I don’t recall this product having a specific, 24-hour wear claim before (and my prior reviews don’t mention it, just that it was “long-wearing”), so ratings did change for certain shades as a result.īrowse all of our MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot swatches. With 24-hour wear claims like this, I wear for as long as I’m awake, but I don’t want to sleep in makeup, so I extrapolate based on the state of it at 16-hours. The wear of the shimmer shades was shorter, too, and there was often a bit of creasing within 10 hours of wear. I didn’t find that they applied any better using brushes over fingertips or vice versa. They were best applied in thin layers and built up, but the results were inconsistent and varied a lot between shades. The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision. The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing–12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading–but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was). The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer. I would love to try MAC paint (in a tube) to see how that will perform.The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable” and can be used as either an “eye primer” or as a “cream shadow.” The brand says it’s supposed to wear for “24 hours” without flaking or creasing. I am still on a hunt for something that won't budge at all and can even hold my cream eyeshadow (yes Revlon cream quad, I am looking at you). My only con is that it still creases a bit during the day. I really think one pot will last me at least 2 years with everyday use. Eyeshadows stay put and don't get wiped off as you blend them out. Since it is a cream product it really helps powder eyeshadows stick to your lids. The color on the picture is a bit darker than in real life. It is only true for fair skinned girls as it will look pasty on dark skins.

The color blends with the color of my skin so one can't tell I am wearing anything. I have dark veins on my lids and this product is great at covering everyhing and creating a really flawless canvas for your eye makeup. It can also be applied with a brush but I prefere not to waste it and just use my finger. I hardly touch the product with my finger and I already have enough for the whole lid. Is spreads easily but you have to spread it straight away otherwise it will start drying in a thick layer. Even though Painterly can be used on its own as a natural eye shadow, I bought it specifically as a primer.įirstly its very creamy. With Urban Decay not being available in the country it is not easy to find something that really works well. I have been looking for an eye shadow primer for a long long time.
