You can see in the MAC swatches above that Painterly, at center, is two-toned – I had applied the right-side portion of the swatch first and then added the left-side portion a bit later. But if Painterly is on your shopping list, make sure to let the color set completely so you can be sure of how the color actually sets on your skin.

They apparenty have the ability to darken in tone on the skin as they set, though I don’t have the authority to say that this occurs with all shades in the Paint Pot line. You’ll know you’ve put on too much when your finger no longer glides over your lids 😅Īlso worth noting is how, upon doing these arm swatches, I observed for the first time that the MAC Paint Pots oxidize. This especially goes for the shimmer shades. However, with both brands, two layers might be the limit, and any more than that can lead to caking or pilling of the product on the skin. If I hadn’t experienced the MAC formula first, the Maybellines would be perfect to me. The Maybellines are just a slight slight slight bit drier going on the skin, and color can lay down a bit patchy, but overall it is not at all off-putting to use. Quality-wise, the MAC formula comes off creamier, both out of the pot and onto the skin, making it more builadble. Maybelline, on the other hand, offers bold, outgoing colors such as turquoise, green, and bright purple in both the American and Japanese lines.

In terms of shade selection, I understand that the shades in the MAC line do go a full spectrum of colors but are in more subdued tones and finishes.

In fact, I got these ones from Target on a buy 1 get 1 free basis! You never get that kind of deal with MAC, for sure. Add a deeper crease shade and smudge some eyeliner or darker shadow on the lash line, and you’re done!Ĭhoosing between the MAC Paint Pots and the Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoos is all a matter of brand preference and budget, with the Maybelline price point certainly lending itself more to hoard-ability. The Leather 80 Creamy Beige, however, is quickly becoming a favorite of mine: it works great as a base for smoky eye looks. Its light champagne color is the definite equivalent of the American 70 Barely Branded, and their bright neutral tone makes a great base for colors such as those in the Naked 3 palette.

Carrying over my practice with Layin’ Low, the Japanese BE-01 also became a staple eyeshadow base. My first two Maybelline Color Tattoos were purchased in Manila, which were BE-01 and 15 Audacious Asphalt (we get both the American and Japanese lines here!).
