MAC Painterly Paint Pot Review: Worth the Hype?

You'll have probably heard of the product I'm going to talk about today. This product is talked about a lot on youtube and on blogs and its the Mac Painterly Paint Pot.

What it claims:

'A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy and dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with MAC shadows and liners.'

This paint pot in particular is great as a base colour. Since it is long-lasting, I like to use it as my eyelid primer too under the rest of my shadows. However I use this most on its own. I have quite veiny eyelids and this colour cancels out the redness and covers the veins. It's the same colour as my skin so its great for a natural look.

You don't use much of this at once so it will last a long time as it does contain a lot of product. It retails at £15.50 in the UK and $20.00 in the US. This seems a lot for 5g of product but like I said, you use very little at a time. I purchased this on eBay because it was slightly cheaper than buying it at Mac so I would suggest looking elsewhere to see if you can purchase it for less.

To answer the question in the title, I do think this product is worth the hype and I'm glad I tried it out.
