Paint Pot also gets remarkably high praise from reviewers at Makeupalley (registration required, worth it). I can definitely recommend giving Paint Pot a try if you suffer from eyeshadow slippage. You can apply it with a brush, I’ve been using my finger and it goes on very thick. Paint Pot also comes in pearl and frost finishes in a range of beige and pink tones as well as some colors (shockingly bright teal anybody?).

I used the Paint Pot in the color Painterly, a matte nude beige, which was just slightly darker than my skin tone. and my eyeshadow was still dark and dramatic at midnight without any touch ups. The day of I put on my makeup at around 11:30 a.m. It’s an eye color but she told me that people have found it is the best thing to keep on intense eyeshadow and that she uses it herself.

The day before we were getting on the plane I hunted down a MAC counter and asked about eye shadow base and the representative recommended I try their Paint Pot. Pair with a tonne of mascara – because I woke up with lashes that are naturally this bushy and voluminous, ok? – and your other ‘no makeup makeup’ finds for the ultimate low-key day of makeup.For our wedding I was planning on wearing MAC Carbon eyeshadow but in my trials it didn’t want to stay on for more than a few hours. On me the longevity isn’t too fab without a primer, so I pack on my usual NARS Pro-Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base underneath to halt-up creasing and as always it works like a dream. I can’t work out if there’s shimmer in it or not, but whether it has or hasn’t it transfers into a satin effect on the eye. Like you know when some people just have the most gorgeous natural shadow to their lids and it looks schmexy? Yeah – that. On my skintone it looks like my natural lid hue, but better. It’s like a warm-toned, very milky hot chocolate shade. I take it on a MAC 242 all over and under the eyes and then smudge out the edges with my digits. It’s a thick cream eyeshadow in pot form that can be smudged over the lids with fingers, a brush or a combination of both, which is the method that I prefer. OK, time to quit the blathering and get onto business. Groundwork on the other hand has been raved about by MUA’s for years, so I took the plunge while having a ‘MAC moment’ about a month ago now – you know the ones – and it’s become my go-to, ‘have no clue what to throw on’ eyeshadow option. I think I picked up the shade Rubenesque from a blog sale back in the day and it arrived as a solid puck that no matter how much I warmed it up with my finger still gave off absolutely zero pigment and I’ve played with some of their limited edition shades, but always been a bit underwhelmed with the high glitter content and low colour pay-off.

I’ve never really given MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots much love in the past (except for the L.E shade Eclair which is AWESOME). Though let me tell you guys and girls – I’ve found ‘the one’ and it comes in the form of MAC’s Paintpot in Groundwork…

MAC’s Eyeshadow in Soba is another one that I crack out when I want it to look like I’ve just got a bit of a natural, but flattering shadow going on on my eyes, but it leans too yellow for it to be considered the epitome of subtle. I thought I had it with Burberry’s Sheer Eyeshadow in Pale Barely, but against my warm skintone it’s a bit too silvery to pull of as a ‘I woke up like ‘dis’ look. I’m forever on the quest for the ultimate ‘no makeup makeup’ find for each product category and whilst I feel like I’ve nailed it in the base and lips category (with Laura Mercier’s Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser and Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors respectively taking each top spot), there’s always been a bit of an opening in the eye category.
