Pro Longwear Paint Pot FAQ
What is Pro Longwear Paint Pot?
A versatile cream eye color in a pot that can be worn alone for a clean wash of color or used as a base to enhance and anchor powder shadows.
How much product is in the jar?
0.17 oz / 5 g.
What finishes are available?
Available across matte and shimmer finishes. Examples include Soft Ochre (matte) and Vintage Selection (shimmer).
How do I apply it for everyday wear?
Use a fingertip to tap a thin layer across lids, then diffuse edges.
What tools do M·A·C Artists use with Paint Pot?
They use a flat shader to lay down color and a blending brush to diffuse edges. The M·A·C 217S Blending Brush is designed specifically for blending.
Can I use it as an eye base/primer?
Yes. Apply a sheer layer from lashline to crease, then build with powder shadow on top for added depth.
How do I build intensity without it feeling heavy?
Apply in thin layers, letting each layer set before adding more.
Tips for oily lids or long days:
Prep lids (clean/dry), apply a thin layer, and optionally set with a complementary powder shadow to reinforce hold.
Which types of shades work best as a base?
Skin-true matte neutrals create a smooth, even canvas. Use deeper or shimmer shades to add dimension on the lid.
How do I remove it at the end of the day?
Use a gentle eye makeup remover (oil-based or dual-phase) and a soft cotton pad; avoid excessive rubbing.
Best way to keep it fresh?
Tightly close the jar after each use and store away from heat and direct light.
How long will it last after opening?
Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on-pack for guidance; usage habits and storage conditions can affect wear.
For a quick one-and-done eye:
Sweep a neutral shade over the lid, blend edges with M·A·C 217S Blending Brush, and press a touch of shimmer at the center for brightness.
For a polished smoky eye:
Start with a mid-tone Paint Pot as a base, blend, then layer deeper powder shadows in the outer corner and crease.
