I love paint pots! They really last long and enhance the color of eyeshadows as they make a great base! So I thought id post some swatches of all the paint pots I have as well as nude lippie swatches since I often get questions on nude lippies!
i love paint pots too! if you dont already have it.. get RUBENESQUE. its the best paint pot (in my opinion!) try greenstroked too :) sometimes i just wear them as eyeshadows and im good to go! :D
oh my goodness nessa!!! Right timing, I am just wondering how would paint pots look like when swatched ALL TOGETHER! I've always thought of getting Painterly and Soft Ochre first, but I have to choose which one first, based on your photo I would probably go for Soft Ochre because of the yellow tone! thanks so much on these! so helpful!!!! SUPER!
About what color (in MAC-speak) is your hand? I can't see myself wearing MAC Myth! It'd probably make me look like I have no lips at all! (I'm NC30-35.)
I have a question that may be a silly one, do you always use your fingers to apply these or would you use a brush as well? For example, if you just wanted to wear one as eyeshadow and not a base (like moss scape), would you still use your fingers? I've never used a paint pot but these swatches have me thinking! :)
Hi PRETTY N PINK- Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I use a concealer brush (Synthetic) to apply the paint pots as they are creamy, I rarely use my fingers since I have long nails its harder to apply with my fingers, but I use a brush to give me better control.
i remember when i was going in one day for cash flow and some lady had just walked out with the last one!!
i have about 7 paint pots and i LOVE them! i just got back from getting "painterly" and "rubenesque". i think i'm going to go back and get "girl friendly" & "fresco rose"!
those nude lippies are gorgeous! i really like the l/s in "sparks can fly".
Thanks, Vanessa! And thanks so much for the swatches! Now, if I can just get over my fear of brownish lip colors... I really can't see myself wearing Honeymoon!
How pretty, they're all gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteJenna I am also an NC30-35 and Myth looks great as a lip base (like MAC's lip erase), you can always use a lipliner to spice things up.
