Do let me know in the comments below.Three very very different cream eyeshadows I got lately and use for different purposes. Have you tried any paint pot? Is there one that you swear by? What is your favorite use of the product. If there is some magic way to use it and I’m missing it than I’m all ears to hear it and learn that technique. But I think I might have seen better products from other brands in my limited knowledge/experience of stuff. I know a lot of MAC enthusiasts will probably peg me as crazy or something coz I’m not raving about this cult product.

I feel that the shadow is looking more packed in rather than prominent or enhanced. On the left it is without base and on the right it is over groundwork. They recommend keeping the lid screwed on tightly to even keeping the pot upside down ie on its cap in storage to make it last longer. I have read a couple of posts where bloggers say that these tend to dry out very fast in the pot. I’m sure you will find one that suits you the best. For the rest, explore some of the other brands out there. If you are a MAC fanatic and don’t have a requirement of wearing shadows for more than 6-7 hours then you can look into these.

So there are a lot of options available out there albeit not everything is easily available locally.

One on top is without Groundwork and the one on the bottom is with Groundwork applied on the entire lid.

Agree they don’t set per say like these ones do but putting powder shadows on them does the job pretty much. If you want a colored base for your shadows then these make somewhat of a sense but even then you have NYX Jumbo pencils which can do that job for you and at a very less price. All in all there is a lot of hype around these I feel than what they can actually do. Since the base has a brown tone to it the shadows also get a slight brown tinge to them but it is not very noticeable. Usually bases help to enhance the colors of the shadow but I could not make out any visible difference in the ones I tried. So since I didn’t track them like on the hour every hour types I have no idea what happened to them. The reason I say this is coz firstly of my experience with it that one time for the event and secondly when I was testing it out yesterday under some shadows after 9-10 hours of wear and no rubbing what so ever my shadows had completely disappeared. I feel that it is good for like 6 hours or so but not more than that. I’m sure no one is going to rub their eyes in such a violent manner. After rubbing it very vigorously on my hand it budged slightly. It does set quite quickly and becomes like a matte texture but not a finish.
