Sometimes, I like to apply the ‘paint’ to my lids and then add a dusting of light, shimmery shadow to add a little sparkle.įor applying the shadow, I tend to swap between my two shadow brushes – one large and one small. Because of how pigmented it is a little goes a very long way, so although the pots are small, they last well. The formula is beautifully soft and creamy, making it super easy to apply and blend. Because it’s a vibrant shade, Perky looks lovely when worn alone on my lids as well as when used as a base for pink-toned powder shadows. My pot, Perky, is a beautiful pinky-peach colour and comes in a satin finish that adds a warm, pinky wash to my lids.

However, after testing out my new Paint Pot in Perky, I can see why the price is so high, and that’s because the quality is high. Normally £16 per Paint Pot, MAC’s most popular eyeshadow pots are a little pricey. I couldn’t have been more excited because MAC is a brand that’s been on my makeup ‘must-try’ list for a while.
