MAC - Painterly Paintpot

I've been wanting to try this out as a base for a long time. I finally bought it and tried it out for about a couple of months now. Not that I wasn't happy with my Too Face Shadow Insurance, I still love it. But I like to try different things. I can't help it I'm curious!

I really like the substance, it's creamy but not oily. It leaves a nice silky base for eye shadows. I like the way I don't have to wait a long time for it to dry, as some bases do. That way it won't get streaky. It also makes blending a lot more easy. I don't use it as an eye shadow on its own, but I think it's possible when you get a more tinted paintpot. I picked painterly because it's matte and it matches my skin tone the most. I can create the perfect canvas to put any colour on it.



The only downside on this product is the price, but you do get a lot of product for it. But still, 19 euros for a primer is a tad much. And maybe also that it doesn't come in a tube, but in a pot. So you swirl your finger in it, or use a brush. The fingers for the quick and easy way, or the brush for the hygienic way, but you'll need to clean it afterwards. Germs!


Pro:
- lovely texture
- great primer
- gives coverage
- quite a lot of product
- improves blending
- works with cheaper eye shadows too

Con:
- price
- it's not a tube (hygiene)

I really love it, maybe a little bit more than the Too Faced Shadow Insurance (oh ohh..). This is definitely not my last paintpot!
