Is M.A.C paint pot better than normal M.A.C eyeshadow?

I'm used to the normal eyeshadow by M.A.C. but I heard that the paint pot is a cream-based eyeshadow which has an unique formula to dy to give an intense and long-lasting finish. Any thoughts?Is M.A.C paint pot better than normal M.A.C eyeshadow?
Blah.. personally, I think it's all a load of crap.


Sure - initially, the color seems more intense, but just like EVERY other cream based shadow, after about 15-20 minutes it starts clumping in your crease.


The only way to get it to really dry and stick is to apply a regular powder shadow over the top of it.


Which, sure, works - but you can get plenty of cream based shadows to do this without having to spend the money on the M.A.C. pots.


I usually just buy a cheaper cream base and use the regular MAC shadow on top.


Also - I prefer cream PENCILS because then you don't have to jam your finger in there and get it all under your nails.


Plus, there's the issue of trying to apply it with your finger without smudging it all over the place.


And personally I haven't found a decent makeup brush that applies it right.Is M.A.C paint pot better than normal M.A.C eyeshadow?
Jo, no thoughts on the brand you mentioned, but I do have knowledge/experience with aularale.com/7002 eye shadows. They can be worn wet or dry and have intense, long lasting color. You might want to try them as well.
