I’m a MAC NC42, and Layin’ Low is in my category of everyday staples. Just remember to screw the lids on tightly to make sure they don't dry out, it is also better to store them upside down - you can see the colours easier that way too.ġ7 Cosmetics (2) 1920s (2) Accessorize (1) animal print (1) aqua (1) Art Deco (1) Artificial nails (1) Autumn (3) ballistic (1) Barry M (5) bathing (2) Batiste (1) BeautyUK (1) Benefit (4) Birthday (1) black (1) black crackle (1) blue (8) Blush (11) Bobbi Brown (8) Body Butter (1) Boots Botanics (1) Bourjous (1) brights (6) bronze (1) Bronzer (4) brown (2) brush sets (1) Brushes (2) Bubble bar (1) Bundle Monster (2) Butter London (2) Candeo Colors (2) Candy Lacquer (1) Chanel (9) China Glaze (6) Christmas (2) Chubby Sticks (1) Ciate (1) Clinique (1) Color Club (2) Coloured Mascara (2) Concealer (2) Coral (7) Corrector (1) crackle polish (2) Cranberry (1) Crazy Colour (1) cream blush (1) Dark Circles (1) Days out (1) Dazzleglass (1) Deborah Lippmann (4) Dior (1) Dogs (1) drugstore (1) ELF (1) Enchanted (1) Estee Lauder (1) Everyday Makeup (1) Eyeko (2) Eyeliner (6) Eyeshadow (21) Eyeshadow bases (1) Favourites (17) Finishing Powder (1) fireworks (1) Fixation Polish (1) floral (1) flowers (2) FOTD (13) Foundation (2) franken (4) freebies (2) French manicure (1) gel polish (1) giveaway (2) Glamour Magazine (1) Glitter (25) Glossybox (3) gold (6) gradient (2) green (14) Guest Post (1) Hair (4) hair treatment (1) Halloween (2) hand cream (1) Harpers Bazaar Magazine (1) Harvey (1) Haul (1) Herbal Essences (1) Highlighter (3) holiday (2) holographic (1) Illamasqua (4) indie brands (8) Inglot (2) Instyle Magazine (1) Jeanius (1) jelly (3) khol (1) Kiss Nails (1) Kissable Lipcolours (1) Knitting (1) Konad (2) L'Occitane (5) Layering (1) Leighton Denny (15) life (13) lilac (1) Lime (1) Lip balm (2) lip pencil (1) Lipbalm (2) Lipglass (4) Lipgloss (6) Lipstick (19) Looks (1) Lush (4) MAC (64) Makeup Routine (1) Marie Claire (1) Marie Claire magazine (1) Mascara (3) matte glitter (1) MES (1) Metallic (1) Mineralize (4) Mineralize Blush (1) Mineralize Eye Shadows (2) Mineralize Skinfinish (4) Models Own (5) Moisturiser (2) MSF (5) Nail Art (23) Nail pens (1) Nail polish (43) nail stickers (1) Nail varnish remover (1) nails (65) Nails Inc (2) NARS (1) neon (2) neutrals (4) New Years (1) Nice Stems (1) No 7 (2) No.A quick daytime look with Layin’ Low on my lids and MAC Costa Riche Eye Kohl on my lash lines the lipstick is bareMinerals Lead the Way The bottoms of the pots are glass and quite weighty. Personally I don't like the white lids but it doesn't matter anyway.
The packaging, like all of this collection is white which makes a difference to the black lids of regular Paint Pots. Neutral shades, pinks and purples would look beautiful over this colour. It also works as a nice base, the sparkle comes through the eyeshadow. It has lovely pink and gold sparkle, looks very wintery and would look fantastic with a bit of black liner, mascara, a bold red or pink lipstick and a nice pink blush on the apples of cheeks.
It is the shimmer in this which makes the colour beautiful. It can be worn alone as a subtle colour, being light, uneveness doesn't show as much but the main colour, which is a pale pink, isn't obvious anyway. This is such a pretty colour, again it applies a bit unevenly, clean fingers work best with both of these shades and a patting motion apposed to sweeping and flicking the glitter all over your face. I do wish the texture was a bit smoother however but I like it regardless for a dark shimmery base, which is why I wanted it in the first place. I see glimpses of blue and fuschia as the light hits it. It is a dark grey, on a similar line to Night Divine Eyeshadow with silver sparkle but seems to have other shades of sparkle in it too in certain lighting. It is an excellent base for a dark smoldering smokey eye or adding depth and sparkle to colours on top of powder eyeshadows. This is not the most pigmented Paint Pot, it is slightly sheer but it is buildable. I picked up two of the three as I felt didn't really like the third shade, Morning Frost, and felt that other brands made a shade like this which was nicer, such as Benefit. They are perfect colours for lots of eye looks for the holiday season. They are quite similar as they both have glitter but these are less chunky and apply much smoother. Bear in mind that if you hated the Cham-Pale Paint pots at the beginning of this year, you may also hate these. A primer or using some eyeshadow on top should reduce that. All are quite glittery and fall out can be expected in my experience. All are quite neutral shades, a very pale pink, a taupe and a smokey grey. There are three Paint Pots in the Glitter & Ice collection, MAC's Holiday (Christmas) offering.
