This MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot Really Is a Genuine Treasure: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure From the MAC Philip Treacy Collection

March 27th, 2015 by Karen 26 Comments

Wearing MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure from the new MAC Philip Treacy collection on my lids

Like Vanessa Williams in 1991, I saved the best for last. 🙂 This Paint Pot really is a genuine MAC Philip Treacy treasure.

Like, if you were chasing a rainbow astride a teal pegasus pony with a rainbow mane high up in the pretty blue sky surrounded by pink clouds, at the end of the rainbow, you’d find Genuine Treasure…instead of a black cauldron filled with gold, although that would also be extremely convenient and nice.

Really, though, this Paint Pot is more like a glitter top coat, and I call it that because pigment-wise, it’s actually pretty sheer.

I built it up in the swatch below so you could get a better feel for the color, but when you apply it to skin, what you get is mostly glitter.

You can wear it on top of other eye products, or wear it on bare lids, which is what I did last Sunday (because who doesn’t like to wear a little glitter on a Sunday sometimes?). I applied it on my bare lids, added a couple coats of mascara, and then went furniture shopping and beignet eating. It was fun.

Genuine Treasure is handy if you need/want to get party ready, and you don’t have a ton of time between work and the shindig.

As a Paint Pot, which are among the longest-wearing things in the MAC eye makeup stable, it has a cream formula. You just twist off the little top and apply with either an eyeshadow brush or fingers (for this one, I recommend fingers).

MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A

I think it’s one of the true gems in the MAC Philip Treacy collection.

In other news…homegirl, I am tired!

But we made it. We made it to the end of the week, and you did a great job. 🙂

I hope you have an absolutely fabulous Friday, my friend. I’m looking forward to getting my bangs trimmed a little later, but I haven’t even been doing my hair lately, so I don’t know what I’m thinking… It’s probably mostly an excuse to get out of the house.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. TGIF!

    It’s looks really pretty on your lids, but I wonder, does it apply evenly?
    I love your blush on these pictures!

      It applies about as evenly as most glitter creams do. Have you worn the Chanel Illusion D’Ombres? The application is very similar. I think it’s easy to control, which is one more thing I love about it. No glitter mess to clean up!

      Happy Friday to you!

    Furniture shopping and beignet eating – that sounds so fun!! And perfect for a bit of sparkle, in my opinion 🙂 This paint pot reminds me of the Lorac 3D Liquid Luster except it appears much, much easier to use and also much more subtle – that Lorac sucker shines like a white glitter disco ball haha!

      Hi Angela,

      It was fun! We did mostly window shopping. I’m trying to figure out what I want before I commit to anything.

      Hope you are able to give this paint pot a try! It’s an easy way to wear glitter without any fuss.

      Happy Friday!

      I don’t either. I layered this one on top of other MAC eyeshadows! It is a really easy way to add some flash to an everyday look.

        No, I mean that this shade looks pretty enough to be worn alone. What I meant is that the paint pots that I have are all base color-type shades. I don’t consider them to be very special or pretty. This one is.

    Sometimes any excuse to get out of the house counts…

    I have a similar Infallible eyeshadow by L´Oréal, but I rarely use it. Too much bling for every day.

    Now this is a beautiful shade, I know how much I love sparkle! And I’d totally wear it furniture shopping too!

    I just dag out my only Fluidline I won today- It’s Physical (do you remember that one?) and used it as an eyeliner but I need a better brush- what brush do you use?

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
