I’ve been waiting for months for anyone to make a video on these, and here you are at last. THANK YOU! I was considering Groundwork as a crease shade and on occasion as a dark base to really bring out multichromes/duochromes. Although I may want Black Mirror for the latter. Also wanted Vintage Selection as a lid base. Too bad you didn’t have that one. I would have loved to see it. Can you make other videos using these? Cream and stick shadows don’t get enough spotlight on them I feel. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Shelbey Wilson, that’s a part of what draws me to her channel, that she uses Caviar Sticks all the time.

Babe in charms is my favorite so pretty! Going to buy the contemplative state today, thanks for your recommendations ❤

Good review Chris, very happy to see those swatches! I love the look as well, nice to see that you can create a whole look with only the Paintpots. Can’t wait to play with these myself 😍

Yeah it's great to finally have some diversity and I think we can really think of them as a cream eye shadow first, rather than just an eye primer. Definitely a different way of thinking ;)

Thank you! Love paint pots and was so interested in these new additions. Beautiful eye look! You are so talented!

Took me forever to find a worthwhile MAC paint pot review video. Thank you for being so intelligent and conscientious in your review as well as teachin me about the product. Just ordered 5 paint pots and looking forward to using them now that I've got the low-down from you. Thanks!

Loved how you used just paint pots to make your eye look. So beautiful! Thank you!

You're so lovely! And truly a well presented and thorough video, helped me find exactly what shade I will go for💕

Yeah the shimmers I found were really pretty under certain lighting conditions, but with the ease and quality of foiled powder eye shadows I shouldn't have to build up a shimmer cream eyeshadow, especially when the mattes perform so good!

Very nice video presentation! I really enjoyed seeing all of these & your artistry in using them. Even though MAC Paint Pots have been around for a reasonably long while, they’re still the best & most versatile products in the cosmetic market because they have set the standard for what so many others aspire to be...but never will become! I’m grateful that you are showing new additions & more possibilities of applications. And I enjoy your ‘eye for color’, tyvm! Appreciate your talents! Best wishes & many happy years ahead for you. Stay safe & well & keep sharing here! Love your channel/videos❤️

I’m wondering how shimmery the princess cut actually is! Thanks!

Babe in Charms and Bougie were the colours that grabbed me. Painterly and Groundwork are already staples for me. I am sad they discontinued Indianwood, it was such a good one and done shadow.

@xlifeofchrisx

Honestly, I think we're going to have to start a petition to bring Indianwood back!! Bougie in my experience is pretty easy to work with, Babe in Charms needs a little more loving and at least on my skintone, tends to lean more pink than gold.

Thanks for review of Bougie! I've purchased it off a lady who's selling her kit! One and done is exactly the reason I bought it and to dupe the colour out of the X9 (Navy) palett called Club S and you have mentioned club in your review! Brilliant thanks!

thank you for this review, very informative and i love the look. I've ended up picking up a couple as i love cream shadows for easy everyday work make up (done and out the door in a few minutes), i also love cream shadows in hot humid weather as they stay put.

One question, the 'pot' looks tiny on the screen, is it me or are they now the size of the eyeliners? Thanks in advance to whom may answer.

Hum, I could swatch my selected ones (except for Bougie that store had not yet received) and I was actually disappointed. I am very used to these products of MAC (and almost eveerything they have) but did not find them as great as I thought (I also swatched other colors) but the overall first experience was 'meh' ... the colors were a bit 'off' to my taste... maybe it's the first swatch session effect.... A surprise though was the dark brown one. It's nice color but so far I picked none of them. I'll try again. I left instead with one of the new powder kiss lipsticks haha (Kinda SoarTa) and identified 3 others I love and will get. Any review on these? Maybe? Thanks
