Formulation of the 2021 new MAC Paint Pots Contemplative State, It’s Fabstract, Clearwater, Born to BeamĪlthough I haven’t found any of these new MAC Paint Pots performs badly, their textures and qualities in general do vary in my opinion. Similarly for the ingredient list, they are also the same as other new MAC Paint Pots that I covered before. I’ve already talked about the basic information of these MAC Paint Pots, which applies to all of these 4 new shades as well, so I’m not going to repeat myself.
Each of them contains 5 g or 0.17 US oz of product in a glass pot. Regardless of whether they are new or original in the line, MAC Paint Pot * is retailed for $23 USD.

Boom – it is that easy! If you want to wear the paint pot as an eye shadow primer, simply apply and then proceed with the eye shadows/loose pigments of your choice. ♥ You only need the smallest amount of this product to get the pigment you need and remember, you can always apply more! A light handed approach is always best. The easiest way I have found is to work the product with my brush and then I blend blend blend across the eye lid where I want the colour. ♥ My favourite brush to apply a paint pot with is My Kit Co. ♥ The most important thing that people tend to forget with this product is that is it SUPER fast drying, so you need to work quickly and ensure you blend it properly. My go to shades for eye shadow primers are “Painterly” and “Groundwork.” I also have some darker shades for a super quick smokey eye or to enhance my mauve and burgundy eye looks.
I have such confidence that the eye shadow on top will last the full day so I use this product on every single client. Personally, my favourite way to use paint pots are as an eye shadow primer. They are often described as a pigmented cream eye shadow that truly last all day long.
Paint pots are versatile and can be used on their own and in conjunction with pressed eye shadows or loose pigments.
To be honest, until my makeup training I too had no idea what this product was, how to use it or the power it has. When working with my clients I often get asked what this product is and how to use it. A go to pro product for all makeup artists are the MAC pro longwear paint pots.
