MAC PAINT POT SHADOW VINTAGE SELECTION PRO
I’m sure you’ve noticed that Vintage Selection is a Pro Longwear Paint Pot and not just a Paint Pot, so it presumably wears longer than a regular Paint Pot would. It’s lovely either way but I prefer it blended out! You can see what I meant when I said it’s very frosty when applied heavily. Blended out on the left and applied heavily on the right. I always make sure to screw the top back on nice and tight! I don’t know yet if this will dry out very quickly as I’ve only had it for a couple of months, but I’m hoping that the packaging helps keep it fresh. I thought I would find it chunky, but after owning it for a while and being able to hold it in my hands and set it down on my counter top, I feel like it’s as sleek as a rounded pot of glass could possibly be. You get 5 grams of product packed into a hefty glass pot, featuring a matte plastic twist-off cover.

The packaging of the MAC Paint Pots is another winning aspect of the product. Vintage Selection looks best kind of sheer and soft and glowy. I would caution against using too much of this particular colour because it is very frosty, but I imagine the matte and satin formulations are ok to build up. But that’s not a problem with this Paint Pot! It sets nicely and doesn’t budge after that. Cream shadow settling into the creases of your eyes is not a flattering look, tbh. Another reason why I never liked the idea of cream shadows was fear of slippage–I didn’t want the hassle of having to set the product every time I used it. The Maybelline Color Tattoos have nothing on this formula, which is soft and easy to blend out. I’ve topped this with neutral shades in both matte and shimmery finishes and I particularly like the way it looks when it peeks out from underneath a matte nude eyeshadow. Of course it’s an amazing base for other eyeshadows as well. If you’re a master blender you could even use this down the bridge of the nose or on the high points of your cheek for a not-so-subtle sheen (think disco partaaay). Aside from the obvious wash of colour all over the lids that this can provide, you can limit use to the inner corner of your eye (where your tear ducts are), or you can use it as a brow bone highlight.

It’s a color that would work well on a lot of skin tones because there’s a lot that you can do with this.
It’s more of a warm pink as opposed to a peach in my opinion, but the frosty part is spot on. MAC describes this as a “frosted dirty peach” which I think is just a little bit off. Vintage Selection (love it!) is part of the Pro Longwear Paint Pot range and is a permanent color. Gotta start by saying - I adore the shade name. I thought to myself Hey, high end things usually have high end price tags for a reason, right? Those are drugstore products though (not that drugstore can’t be awesome), so in spite of the 1, 100 Php (local) price tag, I went to MAC and picked this baby up, basing my colour selection on a Temptalia review as I do so very often. Nothing spectacular, but not too disappointing either. But as I said, Vintage Selection is the first MAC Paint Pot in my collection, and before that the only other cream shadows I had tried were the Maybelline Color Tattoos, which are pretty okay in my book. I’m not really sure where I got that impression… perhaps from the Bobbi Brown gel liner that I had which dried out in a matter of months. I used to think that buying cream shadows was a waste of money because they would just dry up really quickly. Time to change that! Beginning with the very first Paint Pot that I ever tried: Vintage Selection.
Strange that although I have a good number of products from the brand (just counted 10 lipsticks!), I’ve only really reviewed a couple on this blog…and that was some time ago now. Let’s talk about something MAC on here for a change.
