In August of this year, along came a bunch of new shades. With one exception - the Pro Longwear versions, if I were to be picky, seem dryer and creamier both, in comparison to the Paint Pot versions. so as far as I can tell, it's just a re-badge. MAC recently replaced their Paint Pot nomenclature with Pro Longwear Paint Pot, but from my observation and usage, these are basically the exact same formulation and finish, and they both last the same amount of time, and do the same thing, and apply the same way, and have the same ingredients. But I do love nude/neutral shades of Paint Pots for a really super-crazy-fast eye makeup great on their own with a slick of eyeliner or as a base under powder eyeshadow to give it a bit more pop. My next love is Constructivist, one of the best (shimmery/almost duochrome) warm shades with great depth, fantastic at creating a beautiful smokey eye all on its own.

I think my favourite of all was a (sadly now discontinued) plummy-auberginey-purpley one called Artifact (I never managed to get my mitts on it). MAC Paint Pots & Pro Longwear Paint Pots - the nudes / neutrals
