Also, the colors may not suit all skin tones. All of those colors are now discontinued.

I also have Delft, Moss Scape, and Green smoke. I have paintpots in Painterly(matte pale nude w/some pink undertones), Bare Study(pale pearly nude with an almost gold sheen). I noticed even 6 weeks after purchasing, it had dried to the point of making application feel really difficult, with it tugging on the skin, flaking off, etc. You have to blend fast, and you will probably never use the entire jar of product before it’s ruined. If there’s even a hint of dryness on the lid, they tend to make the skin look crepe-y and rough. They are pretty nicely pigmented, but it is possible to build up coverage, or blend sparingly, for different levels of opacity. They do NOT crease, and shadows over top do not crease. You can use paintpots as a base for more natural looks, for a more even lid color. I like my darker paintpots, even if I rarely use them. I’m still a bit sad that MAC has gutted the brighter/darker color selection, except for Limited Edition releases. I’ve had these a while, as well as a few other LE or Discontinued shades, but I rarely use them, and so forget about them, except when I see MUA forum posts asking about them. Your shadows will go on like a dream.I think I wrote a short comparison shortly after I began blogging, when I purchased MAC Paint, and wanted to compare it. Not cakey or anything, but you want a good, full base. I figured this out the hard way the first time, when I blended it out to almost nothing. One thing worth noting about the product is you can’t be too light with it or the shadows will crease. If you’re fair like me, it doesn’t do much as an under brow highlighter, but I have seen other people with actual skin tone applying Painterly beneath the arch of the brow for a pop of light. I tend to stick this where I get a little blue near the inner corner of my eye pre-concealer. Not only does it give a smooth, sticky base for your shadows to stick to, but the pigmentation covers veins and dark spots. Painterly, when applied to the lids and under brow, makes for a phenomenal eye shadow primer. MAC’s Paint Pots are cream pigments-opaque, somewhat thick but not paste-like, soft creams that will cover whatever you put them on. It’s not a fancy, splashy, sparkly product, but holy crap it’s a functional one. This is one of the products that finds its way into ninety percent of my makeup applications.
