The ultimate test was using the white shade with my notoriously troublesome Nomad Cosmetics Toyko palette.

As a concealer, it isn’t full coverage, but it conceals enough that I could see myself continuing to use it that way.Īs an eye primer, these are quite nice as well. Cocoa is such a close match to my skintone that I’ve actually used it as concealer and it works amazingly well for that purpose! I prefer how it looks without powder though under the eyes.

At the same time, I purchased Cocoa because I wanted to get a shade closer to my skin tone and in case I wanted to mix it with White to create a custom color. I bought the White shade as a replacement for my Nyx Milk Jumbo Stick and ABH primer. This primer is really hyped among some of the “smaller” creators in the beauty community.

By the end of 2021, I will only have Layin’ Low, unless I cave on my primer no-buy and order some of the new limited edition Paint Pot colors MAC released this year. As beautiful as this color is, I’ve had it far too long. Rubenesque is a beautiful shimmery shade that does brighten up shadows applied on top of it and it’s such a beautiful shimmer shade on its own that I prefer to just use it as an inner corner eye brightener or like a cream shadow. However, I’ve only used it a few times because I’m trying to use up the rest of Groundwork first. That’s why, to be safe, I figured I should probably go with the Layin’ Low shade next. I recall there being one time that the Groundwork color made the eyeshadow darker, but I can’t remember which eyeshadow formula it was. One of the issues I had with concealers as primers, for example, is I felt it altered the shade color. It deposits enough color to easily conceal my hyperpigmentation without altering the tone of the eyeshadow that gets applied on top. In the last year or two, Groundwork became my favorite eyeshadow base. MAC Paint Pot in Groundwork, Layin’ Low, and Rubenesque While it’s usually cheaper to purchase an eyeshadow primer, if anyone has their perfect foundation match in MAC, it would save you from having to buy two separate products!
It’s important to note that this does not crease until too much product is packed on the eyelid. If I just want to cover the pigmentation spots on my eyes with a liner and mascara, I can layer the stick enough to give me the coverage to do it. However, the foundation stick doesn’t need to be fully opaque considering the shadows will cover the skin there anyway. The Paint Pot is creamier and more opaque than the foundation stick. I’ve used concealer before as an eye base and I was never really a fan of that, so I’m surprised this works. Because it’s easier, I just prefer to lightly set it with powder first and then I have no issues with blending. I don’t have the Mario one to compare with, but this MAC stick works beautifully! I find that if I leave it unset, I can get a very pigmented application of product right away, but it takes a bit longer to blend. Is it possible he intended for it to be similar to the MAC stick? Personally, I think so considering his Master Metal Manipulator liquid may as well be Mehron Mixing Liquid. This was Mario’s most universally liked product from his initial launch, so I was curious.
The ingredients between the two products are so similar but I knew I could get the Stick from MAC for significantly cheaper. I got the idea to use this as an eyeshadow primer when I was looking into the Make Up by Mario Master Eye Prep and Set in Deep. I like that it was clear-white (though they have tinted versions) and it did the job well enough, but I have others I like more and for a lower price. I threw it out, but the tube was pretty much empty anyway. When I do run out of products, I tend to replace them with something new, but this is one category that I have made repurchases of my favorites.Īlso, my tube of Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base is not pictured above because it has the same rubberized packaging as other Nars Products and it became so sticky and gross to look at that I didn’t want to show it. Eye primers are one of them, though it’s rare to go through an entire tube or jar before the textural changes (drying up or oil separating) force me to replace them. There are only a few categories of makeup that I use up enough that I have to replace them. Lastly, the MAC NC45 Foundation Stick I skipped reviewing in my foundation declutter will be included here as an eye base. I also have the deluxe sample of the Tatcha liquid primer in the photo and forgot to include the larger Mini Size that I also have. Below is what the collection looked like at the start of 2020, though I couldn’t find one of my MAC Paint Pots at the time and took the photo anyway.
