Eyelids dont get oily and shadows stay on longer. Jar lasts a very long time. A couple of weeks ago Julia and I went shopping and MAC was having 40 off some products, including this and a few other things I’m going to review in the following weeks.I use this as an eyeshadow primer and it does the job well. MAC Rubenesque Pro Longwear Paint Pot (Discontinued) Review Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Paint Pot in the shade Rubenesque.“Sometimes they have blue undertones, red undertones, orange all kinds of different things.”Yellow-based color correctors have a tendency to oxidize, changing colors or turning ashy on darker skin. Sometimes, I use Painterly as a base underneath powder shadows, and other times, I use it as a cream shadow on its own.Today I asked Melissa Street, a makeup artist friend of mine who works on celebs for television and movies (she’s great check her out on Twitter and Facebook), why some yellow-based color correctors turn funky shades on darker skin.“Dark skin tones tend to have a variety of undertones,” she said. Available in a range of finishes and shades, the M.A.C Cosmetics Pro Longwear Paint Pot not only adds buildable colour but primes the eye area for you to create eye looks that last.For me, Soft Ochre actually seems to work better than many dedicated primers billed as color correctors do ( Benefit Lemon Aid and Too Faced Lemon Drop, for example) as it doesn’t turn gray on my tan skin.I use the MAC Paint Pot in the shade Painterly (pink beige that MAC calls nude beige) fairly often to cover my red eyelids discolored from blepharitis. M.A.C Cosmetics Pro Longwear Paint Pot is an iconic cream eyeshadow with a long-wear finish like no other. It also evens out the skin tone on my lids — mighty convenient when I’m chronically sleep deprived, as I’ve been this week.The one and only.
An application tipIf you’ve never tried any of the MAC Paint Pots before, they have a dense, somewhat dry texture that some find difficult to apply and blend across their lids. Earlier today she did the makeup for Jason Momoa, aka Khal Drogo, the former tightlining hottie from Game of Thrones.I dunno if Soft Ochre officially has any peach in it (I think I can see a little?), but for whatever reason it doesn’t turn ashy on my NC42 skin, and I love, LOVE it for that. To counter balance that you need to use something with a peach tone or an orange tone, or you risk oxidation.”SIDE NOTE: Melissa is down in San Diego, California right now working behind the scenes at Comic-Con. If you have super oily lids, it might help to start with a layer of a colorless primer first, like Urban Decay Primer Potion. The warmth from my hands seems to soften the product and make it easier to spread.Oh, and sometimes I also pat a small amount of MAC Fast Response Eye Cream, a non-oily, quick-absorbing eye moisturizer, on my lids beforehand, which seems to make the application even smoother.When I wear Soft Ochre as a primer, I don’t have a problem with it creasing, but I’ve heard that some people with really oily lids do. Then, I pick up a little bit of it with a finger and apply with a patting, rather than a swiping, motion to my lids. Miyagi-style, to warm them up.
