I personally rate them as a replacement for eyeshadow primer if you’re eye area isn’t too oily (unlike mine that is!!). The paint pots cost £14.50 from MAC and this one contains 5g of product (like all the others I have seen), which means they last an age (well for me they do)! Ingredients are shown below! Paint pots are great as bases for eye makeup and help most products last a lot longer than they would on their own.

The staying power is amazing (as I would expect with a paint pot), but after a full day I do get a little creasing in the inner corner of my eye because I have super oily lids, if I want to stop this them I use an eye primer and this makes it super, super longwearing and non-creasing. But I wouldn’t really wear this one it’s own for an evening out just because it’s not opaque enough for me. This one is called Bare Study and it’s fairly well reported out there on the Because of the sheeny finish this can come off a bit sheer and if I use this on it’s own it for those days when I want to look like I’ve put a lot of work in to my eye MU, when actually it’s just a wash of Bare Study and some eyeliner. This is a third and final review of my recently hauled MAC Paint Pots, yes I know I went a little OTT.

Can mac paint pots be used as a primer
