This week’s swatch Sunday post is one of the classic products from MAC… their Paint Pot in ‘Groundwork’. Groundwork is a creamy, mid toned brown shade – with no shimmer. It can be used as a colour on it’s own or as an eyeshadow base. I was introduced to this shade at the MAC Bafta event where it was used as an eye colour to contour the eye area and add natural looking definition.
I have a couple of other MAC Paint Pots in my collection and normally opt for shades with a bit of a shimmer in them so this is a nice basic addition. It’s really pigmented and sets so well – lasting all day. The mid toned brown shade is pretty universally flattering – although will be a more subtle look on darker skin tones.
ooh that’s lovely. I’ve been wanting a paint pot for ages now and I was tempted by Painterly but you may have changed my mind! Love it.

I use Soft Ochre as both a shadow primer and under eye concealer.
I use mine as an all over the lid eyeshadow. I only have one in Bare Study. Is a really subtle colour for times you dont want to wear alot of makeup. I like it but for the price i dont wear it as often as i should. I need to remember i have it more
I love Paint Pots I use them everyday! I’ve heard people complaining that they dry out but I’ve never had that happen to any of mine they’re probably not putting the top on properly x
it is gorgeous 🙂

I use Painterly as a base. Indianwood as an all over colour with a tightline of Rich Grounds fluid liner when I’m being lazy.
That is a lovely colour! I really want Indianwood for my collection 🙂 *Adds to wishlist*

I have been wanting to get my hands on a paint pot. I bought the 24 hr color tattoos and I hate them because they are so difficult to blend. I have played with these at the mac counter and they seem a lot creamier. Anyways.. just letting you know I’m a new follower via GFC

I love this paint pot! I tend to use them as eyeshadows. They stay on so much better than actual eye shadows! They work really well as a base too, colors and pigments stick to it nicely.
