Next, I tried adding some Silver Screen on top of Clearwater in the middle of my lids. Clearwater showed up the most, and it is a different look for me, especially since I seldom wear a lot of noticeable makeup these days at home. I even tried for a little wing to enhance my beatnik look. I applied Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in the money green metallic shade, Mildew, along my upper and lower lashlines. In the V, the deep green helped give my eyes some dimensionality. I also tried applying Moss Definitely in my crease first with my finger and then with a brush. Then I used my fingertip to pat Clearwater over my entire lid. This time, I applied Urban Decay Anti-aging Primer Potion on my lid and crease. Today, playing with Clearwater, I felt like I was channeling my inner beatnik. I would put on black tights, one of my father’s white shirts, put my long hair in a pony tail, and apply my mother’s turquoise eyeshadow. When I was a kid in the early 60s, my favorite (and most affordable) Halloween costume was a beatnik. If I were going into stores, I would return Silver Screen, but I don’t feel like going through the trouble and expense of mailing it back. Frankly, it is more of a topper than a true shadow. It has an oily feeling in the pot, and it goes on almost completely sheer. This one was billed as Bright Silver, so it sounded promising. I have a number of excellent silver powder shadows, but I always wanted a silver cream shadow. On the other hand, Silver Screen was a disappointment, as you can see in the swatch above. The gold flecks are very subtle, and I didn’t even notice them at first. The opaque forest green color is rich and beautiful. It goes on easily and is completely opaque. They can be applied either with a finger or a brush. Moss Definitely: deep emerald green sparkle (to me, forest green with slight golden flecks). Clearwater: robin’s egg blue matte (it looks like sea foam green to me). They really appealed to me, so I ended up ordering three: Some of the new shades that MAC introduced seemed different, a switch from neutrals. Over the years, I bought a couple of other shades that I use every now and then especially Layin’ Low that MAC describes as “creamy beige” that I would describe as warm golden squash blossom. Sometimes, I use Painterly as a base underneath powder shadows, and other times, I use it as a cream shadow on its own. 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. At the time I placed my order, Ulta was sold out of most of the new shades, but today when I checked, most were back in stock. They are sold at MAC stores, on the MAC website and on. Recently, I noticed that MAC introduced several new shades of their iconic Pro Longwear Paint Pot Eyeshadow, cream or base shadows, that come in the cute little glass black-lidded jars. How about you? Do you ever put on makeup these days? So, this year I’ve decided to start of my looks with a lot of nudes.I know I am finally getting bored being at home because I have been playing with makeup more often even though I have nowhere to go. I’ll tell you why I picked this beautiful shade out as my first, being one of those ladies who love neutrals for my everyday wear I thought this would be perfect shade for an every day subtle smokey eye and with a little bit of shimmer !Īnd I love me a good smokey eye in any form! My budget this time allowed me to purchase just one paint pot, so i purchased the shade – CONSTRICTIVIST! These are cream colored bases available in a variety of shades to help as an eyeshadow primer to punctuate the intensity of your eyeshadow, prevent creasing, remove discoloration or can be used in its own to create subtle/intense looks! So, here are my thoughts about these paint pots & if they’re worth your money & time I’ve major creasing problems & I’ve heard so much about the MAC paint pots, so it’s quite obvious that I was gonna buy one!
