Oh, and here are two pro tips! Store your paint pots upside down to keep them from drying out (you can also see the names more easily), and if you’ve had a Paint Pot for a while and discover one day that it’s dry (like if you can see the edges of the cream pulling away from the jar), you can revive it by swirling a drop or two of your favorite face oil in the pot with a brush. Indianwood is a golden bronze with shimmer, and it’s perfect for a sheer wash on the lids.īoth Groundwork and Indianwood, incidentally, go perfectly with MAC Coffee Eye Pencil. Groundwork is a matte taupe, and I use it to sculpt my crease so that my eyes look deeper set. The Paint Pots come in a bunch of neutrals shades, and I’m wearing my faves here. The lipstick is BECCA Cupid’s Kiss, and the liner is MAC Coffee, by the way. Never underestimate how much a little highlighter on those two areas can open up your eyes. Then I’ll do a little liner, then mascara, then brows (of course!), and I’m done, which is what I did for these pics where I’m wearing Groundwork in my crease and Indianwood on my lids.Īlso, if I’m feeling up to it, I’ll dab a small amount of face highlighter on my brow bone and in the inner corners to make my eyes look bigger and less hooded. I’ll start by laying down the shadow where I want it using a flat brush before buffing out the edges with a tapered blending brush.

Chillin’ with my favorite photobomberįor simple, fast, fresh looks, the Paint Pots are great. Obviously, since the Paint Pots are creams, you can use your fingers to apply them, but I prefer brushes because they’re more precise.
