I love this kind of video so much. So useful as a consumer, plus just fun to try to guess which is which.

thank you this was helpful!

Lovely look! Wow that elf , amazing stay safe girl tfs

Thank you for this! I have always wanted to find a cruelty free option to the paint pot!

I was so happy to see this video! I just bought the Elf primer and actually liked it a little better, but that’s mostly because I preferred the color. Thanks again for the review! Love seeing your eye looks!

Oh yay! Just bought the ELF today!

Beautiful eye look!

Thank you! I can’t wait to get this! I transitioned to cruelty free a few years ago and I’ve had a very hard time finding an eye primer to replace Painterly.

Love the eyeshadow look. 😃👍🏻

Thank you for doing this review! I had been eyeing (haha) the Elf but was skeptical about creasing. I have the same issues as you - veins on eyelids - and I'm about the same age as you, so I get a good idea of how it will perform on someone like me thanks to your review! I really appreciate it and will be trying the Elf primer. I actually slightly preferred the look of the Elf eye compared to the Mac, so bonus!

Great review! You are the one who got me started on the paint pot. BTW....your complexion looks awesome in this video!

Thank you very much! I’ve wanted a paint pot for a long time but I only purchase cruelty free products and so far hadn’t found any good dupes.

Glad to help! Eyeshadows tend to wear off quicker and crease on me without primer, and concealers always bunch up when I try to use those as primer. So I'm always using something!

So happy to see you liked it! I really like it, too. I could tell which one was which when you applied. The elf has to be put on with a finger, I think. Otherwise it's kinda grabby.

My favorite 2 things about the Paint Pot are how well it evens out the tone of my lids (and cancels out the blue vein that runs right through one of them), and how long it holds eyeshadow for. I wish it was cruelty free (which is why I haven't gotten more into the MAC brand - I am not fully cruelty free in my beauty products but I do try to avoid getting into new-to-me brands that aren't cruelty free). The Elf is a pretty doggone good dupe performance wise but I still favor the MAC a bit.

Your shadow techniques have gotten so good. I love that you don't always do the same three-step thing (that I always do 😉)

Hard to wrap my head around it. The uncertainty is difficult.

as soon as your applied I knew the nose ring side was the paint pot. The paint pots have lots of pigment to them.

I have such watery eyes.... thanks, Kansas allergies. I want to try this one.

Love the eye look!!! I agree they are similar. If you've got the budget, you like it, and it outperforms the Elf, go for it. But really, if you don't, that is $15+ to spend somewhere else.

I love having options! :)

I may try the Elf as the paint pot is too dark for my super pale skin. I often use the Essence intensifying eye base which works fairly well and cancels out any discolouration on my lids. It's excellent for pale skin, but they do have a darker more yellow based shade also. I thought the Elf side looked pretty good for almost twelve hours and it's well priced, so that's a winner. Be well and best wishes.

However, last month I started using CoverGirl's lid lockup and like it too very much. It's more tacky but keeps my eye shadows in tact for hours and nothing creases ever.

I could tell the Elf was a little more grabby with color and needed a little more work blending it out. I'll have to check it out, though, because the paint pot is a little too dry on my lids. The Elf even looked slightly more emollient going on. Boo to Ireland being canceled, but we're all in the same boat! I can't wait to travel once we can.

Yep I would say the Elf is a bit more emollient going on. Most days I would set either primer with a flesh toned shadow first anyway, but for testing I like to see how they hold up without being set.

I wanna try this. I have not found an eye primer that doesn’t dry and cake.

CoverGirl's Lid Lockup works really well. It leaves a slightly tacky finish so eye shadow stays put for hours. I've had no creasing or caking from it. :)

Ok who else was trying to guess when they were applied which was which? I guessed correctly (yay!) bc the Elf side looked a little more emollient and less matte. Definitely going to try this when I can find it in stores on my essential outings.

I kinda knew straight away which was the paint pot due to the coverage (I use the paint pot daily, so might be advantaged in that). But the price of the Elf is definitely worth at least a try. I don’t use it as primer though, more like a concealer as I have lots of veins on my eyes, so put that on, eyeliner and mascara and I’m out the door and my eyes look so bright compared to before. I like that the paint pot doesn’t crease compared to a concealer and it needs no setting either.

Oooh I was wondering about this. The price difference here (elf $12 vs mac $38) makes it well worth trying if it's any way remotely decent. Revolution do something similar, but it doesn't last well - at least in the hot weather here (in the pot I mean, it dries out and goes funny a little too quickly - I do like it though, just have to buy it regularly... lucky it's fairly cheap).

hi, shelly! good thing the maybelline was different because you only have 2 eyes! both eye looks are beautiful and i would snap up the elf for sure (cause ya know i work with a budget). have a great evening - stay safe and stay well! ~k

Have you seen/tried the “revolution pro” potted eye primer? They only have 3 shades, one shimmer and two matte. The reviews are really good, with lots of comparisons to the paint pot. I’m going to try it:) Thanks for the side by side💜

I'd say like the MAC it's just a smidge darker than my skin, enough that I can wear it bare with no shadow and most people would not notice any color, but it's almost like a tiny bit of zhuzh for the lids, the way a little swipe of blush would be on the cheeks. Not noticeable but better than bare.
