MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots work as an excellent eyeshadow base and have been a particular god send in covering up veiny eyelids before eyeshadow application.
Longevity: Basically until I decide to take it off. Most days I have no creasing so long as I've sandwiched a lot of eyeshadow on top of the paint pots. I have tried both paint pots on their own without anything on top and they last about 3 hours before starting to crease in the inner corners. This is mostly down to my eye shape though.
Pigmentation: Both very pigmented as can be seen in the photographs. Soft Ochre has a strong yellow undertone which would be suitable for pale girls with warmer tones. Painterly is a beige pink which blends into my eyelids seamlessly and looks like I have nothing on!
Formulation: Paint Pots have a thick, creamy and highly pigmented formula which makes them ideal as eyeshadow bases as they create a clean canvas for you to work with. They blend very easily with fingers or a brush (I prefer fingers) and they are buildable to whatever coverage you prefer. Two thin layers usually does me fine.

As you can see I find it really difficult to fault these products. They have truly changed the way I do my eye makeup now that I've found the perfect eye primer that not only helps eyeshadow stick but evens out skin tone too. I simply couldn't live without these for sure!
