Which Paint Pots are shimmery? I'm looking for a replacement for a Dior black shimmery powder I purchased many years ago. I'm already using a cream eyeshadow base and a Paint Pot in Taylor Gray from below my brow to just above my eyelid crease and a small amout of the black shimmery shadow at my eyelid crease but that eyeshadow powder is almost gone and I need a replacement. I have those large eyelids and deep set large eyes which are gray sometimes and blue or green depending on how the light hits them so I never know what color to go with.
- Asked by Nin
- Official Answer By MACWe completely understand wanting to replace your favorite shimmer! For something similar, try our Paint Pot in Black Mirror. It's a black shade with a soft shimmer that might provide the same vibe. You might also enjoy Vintage Selection, Princess Cut, or Bougie for an extra glow, especially with those gorgeous multi-toned eyes! Additionally, consider the Dazzleshadow Eye Shadow Sticks for a stunning metallic finish.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Once this opened, how long is it safe to use before it should be discarded.
- Asked by Made Up
- Official Answer By MACHey there and thanks for reaching out! Some products include a Period After Opening (PAO) number that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user's skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity. Unopened products should be good for at least 3 years under normal use conditions provided they are not exposed to extreme heat or cold.Was this answer helpful to you

Highly Versatile!
Originally I purchased this in Constructavist to be a strong base colour for my darker shadows and it worked beautifully. It wasn't till I tried the shade Painterly, however, that the product's full potential was revealed. I now use that shade as my only eyelid primer. It creates a smooth base that ...

Colors, texture coverage vary
I purchased three of these a couple of weeks ago after having previously tried some colors. Overall here is the review of each color I have: Painterly- Good basic eye base or for those days when you want bare but not red eyelids. It has no sparkle but doesn't give a matte dry look. Works well under ...

Painterly is Top Tier Eye Base
So, first and foremost: nothing will be 100% crease proof against 90 degree days in an arid state if you have oily eyelids. BUT, this on top of a primer and beneath my shadows, if I let it fully dry, will get me through a work day. I usually hit 5PM and I'm creasing, but this little guy does let me last until that 5:00 marker with my primer and shadows. I let it dry down and it works super well as a tacky base for my shadows to cling onto. I would recommend this in a shade close to your skin as a base or a primer for shadows if you have oily lids like me, hi hello. It works great. Not foolproof, but well worth the price in the hot weather with minimal touching up required to stop creasing or other wear.
I will definitely purchase again and again such a great buy
It serves as a high concealer also and hides dark sports too while being an eyeshadow
Perfect eyeshadow base
I have loved this for decades as an eyeshadow base, especially for a cut crease look. Highly recommended!
I would definitely buy again
Love these eye shadows…. Easy to apply, they stay put for the whole day (no creases) and easy to travel with (;not a liquid so can pack in carry on)
I definitely will but again
Second time I bought this item. Creamy texture rich selection of colors. Goes on smooth and lasts for a long time. No clumping.
