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 love these Paint Pots.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.

MAC Paint Pots don’t dry out, at least mine that are a year old are still super creamy. It has a long wand with more teeth concentrated at the top, and it looks promising. So I haven’t worn it yet, but as soon as I feel better, I will be dying to try this new for me shade as well as the sample mascara that I got: MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash. Right now, I’m still not feeling that great, and I’m Layin’ Low.
And when I compared the two shades, they are definitely different enough. When I first opened Layin’ Low, I wondered if it was different enough from Painterly. Definitely a shade that will suit me with my red hair. When it arrived, it looked less like “creamy beige” and more like browned peach like the swatch I saw online. I chose Layin’ Low, described as “creamy beige”. Now, MAC offers 7 shades, a mix of mattes, pearls and shimmers.

So when MAC decided to throw in free shipping, I ordered online and took a chance on the shade I chose. The sales associate told me that they weren’t allowed to offer the discount. I had planned to go to Macy’s to look at the actual shades of Paint Pots, but I called first to see if they had them in stock. So I better keep buying them if I want them to remain around.
Maybe I’m one of the few who loves cream shadows. In fact, I wish I had known they were on sale for $13 on Nordstrom Rack where they’re now just about sold out except for black and brown. Recently I noticed that MAC decreased the number of Paint Pots shades rather substantially, boo. I also bought Antique Diamond, a sparkly silver grey shade. Originally, I bought Painterly, the pale pink nude cream shadow reviewed here, that makes a wonderful base or a nice everyday shade to wear on its own. Time for me to add to my collection of Paint Pots. The Paint Pots are creamy, highly pigmented, long wearing, easy to apply and blend cream shadows that are perfect for my dry lids. MAC had a 20% off sale after Memorial Day for their Select members (all you have to do is sign up, no purchase requirements), and when they added in free shipping, bingo.
