Let Me Pop, Vintage Selection, Antique Diamond I do recommend a flat head brush of some sort for easiest application but they take to fingers just as well if that’s your preferred method of application. However, I’ve come to embrace that density as it really adheres well to my lid and creates a solid base for powders or on their own they actually blend fairly easily when warmed up. I used to dislike them since they had a denser formula compared to other cream shadows I knew of, used, and loved. In the case of three of the eight new shades I tried out all had a very solid eight hour wear without creasing and showing minor creasing at hour nine. It really depends on the shade as I find some shades are virtually budge proof and others are prone to creasing. I can get around six to eight hours using a Paint Pot alone or as a base for powder. If you can get past that you’ll embrace these fully but it can be a little misleading considering you might expect some new improved incredibly long wearing eyeshadow formula.

Outside of a new color selection I’m not seeing the point of the new name…eh? I do find the release of Pro Long Wear Paint Pots an oddity since the formula, size, and price is the same as the regular line of Paint Pots. I started off life not loving the density of the original MAC Paint Pots. Technically, they are pretty much the same old Paint Pot formula with a new name…so yeah, WTH MAC? Aside from that, if you’re a fond MAC Paint Pot fan get ye to your nearest counter and grab a few shades! MAC Pro Long Wear Paint Pots should be hauled because you enjoy Paint Pots in general however, I wouldn’t haul them because you expect some sort of super budge proof formula. MAC has released a range of Pro Long Wear Paint Pots for Spring 2013 in a variety of lovely shades.
