Dupe For Mac Paint Pot Soft Ochre Nyx



Hello my beauties, I am unfortunately recovering from a cold today so I missed school, and I'm in quite a bit of trouble because I've got an oral exam today, therefore I had to get a doctors note. Fortunately, the cold isn't any too bad and I'll manage to get back on my feet by tomorrow morning :) I've got to do a huge presentation tomorrow and I'm nervous! Any got some tips on overcoming fears of public speaking?

Before discovering MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, I used to use gel foundation, followed by a patting of pressed powder on my eyelids. But now that I have discovered (and fallen in love with) MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, I don’t need to use anything else as an eyeshadow base. What other brands make dupes of Painterly paint pot and/or soft ochre That aren't too expensive. NYX 'Skin Tone' Eye Shadow Base 1/3 price makeup dupe of best selling MAC 'Soft Ochre' Pro Longwear Paint Pot (makeup artists frequently use this color as a 'primer pot') #makeupdupe #makeup #dupes Drugstore Makeup Dupes Beauty Dupes Makeup Swatches Mac Makeup Love Makeup Skin Makeup All Things Beauty Beauty Make Up Expensive Makeup.

Anywho, lets get on to the point of this post. Over time, I've realized that I've collected a few of MAC's Paint Pots, and although I don't think it's a lot, it's more than some might deem as 'necessary'. However, I loooove MAC Paint Pots, and the ones that I use the most currently are Painterly and Rubenesque.
Soft Ochre, Painterly
Groundwork, Perky
Rubenesque, Greenstroke
Revlon Creme Shadows in Copper Canyon VS NARS Albatross
The HUGE difference between the two is that Copper Canyon is a cream shadow, and Albatross is in powder form. Otherwise, I'd say these two are pretty similar, while Copper Canyon is more white, and Albatross is more gold and muted. If you don't want to splurge the $26US/$30CAD price for Albatross, Copper Canyon is a nice dupe!

MAC Painterly Pro Longwear Paint Pot Review and Swatches

By Contributor: Ranita

Natural Beauty is the best kind of beauty. The essence of natural make up is to make you look like yourself, only more polished. A must have product for this effect is the MAC Pro-Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly which I will review and swatch today. The MAC Paint pots are thick cream eye shadows that are packages in cute glass pots with black plastic screw-on caps. The packaging has weight and feels like it is good quality. I have actually dropped some of my paint pots from quite a height (#typical klutzy Ranita!!). While the glass pot has a small crack, the product is intact and the pot is still going strong!

Painterly has a very thick formulation. It has a blushing Nude colour – pale brown, almost beige, with a tinge of pink. It has a very matte finish – not even a hint of shine. It feels creamy when rubbed onto the skin, not grainy or chalky at all, and it spreads evenly. But while being applied, it very quickly dries and sticks in place. Once it is set, nothing can make it budge.

I love the colour of this paint pot. The colour complements almost every skin tone beautifully. It just seems very natural and polished. My favourite way to wear this product as an eye-shadow is with a satin finish brown or taupe in the crease.There is no creasing or caking at all.

This product works brilliantly as an eye-shadow base. Any colour applied with painterly as a base appears much brighter and stays much longer. If it is smudged close to the upper and lower lash line, it works as a great base for kohls and eyeliners. Kajals that normally would smudge like crazy on me, manage to stay defined and dark on me all day.

The best way to work with this paint pot is to use your finger. Swirl your finger a couple of times in the pot and pat it onto your eye-lid. Also great is a brush with synthetic hair. I recommend the MAC 242. Very little of this product is enough to apply a pigmented layer over both eye lids, so one pot will last a really long time. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of dipping your finger into the paint pot, you could scape out a thin layer using a small spoon or thin blade.

One thing to note is that this is a very dry sort of formula. Once on the skin, it has to be blended in immediately and one needs to be very quick while working with this product. It is excellent for oily eyelids, because on application it becomes very matte and dry. But if you are like me and have super dry eyelids; this product can only be applied on top of some eye cream or moisturizer. Otherwise it is extremely difficult to use. Also if using a brush, a lot of the product clings to the brush and it has to be cleaned thoroughly after each use.

PROS of MAC Painterly Paint Pot:

Ochre
  • Lovely colour. Works well with most skin tones.
  • Intense pigmentation. Little bit of the product goes a long way.
  • Great eye-shadow base. Slippery kajal stay put. Eye shadow colours appear brighter.
  • Brilliant for people with oily eyelids. Gives a very matte finish.
  • Extremely long lasting. Will only come off when makeup remover is used.

CONS of MAC Painterly Paint Pot:

  • Very very dry formula. If you have dry lids – using this will not be easy.
  • Dries and sets in place very quickly. Very little time to work with the product.
  • A little difficult to use: dipping in the ring finger is not very hygienic and no scoop or scrapper has been provided. If a brush is used, a lot of product is left over on it.
