MAC Blackground Pro Longwear Paint Pot Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Blackground Pro Longwear Paint Pot
MAC Blackground Pro Longwear Paint Pot is described as a “black grey with multicolour.” It’s a soft, medium black with brow undertones and a very soft smattering of silver shimmer. Urban Decay Spell has more multi-colored shimmer and is a powder product. NARS Empire is similar in color and is also a cream product.MAC Backlit is less warm-toned and has multi-colored shimmer.
The Pro Longwear Paint Pot formula is supposed to be “long-wearing,” “highly-pigmented,” and also “[blend] smoothly over the lids.” For a cream eyeshadow in black, it applies better than many do; it’s not fully opaque, and it has a tendency to look grayer on the lid than when swatched as a result of the slight translucency. While it doesn’t apply solidly, it does apply fairly evenly overall. It didn’t crease or fade during the twelve-hours I wore it for, so it can be worn alone or used as an eyeshadow base. The consistency if Blackground was creamy and smoother, finer in a way, compared to some of the other shades. Because it didn’t have sparkle, there was also no problems with fall out.
FYI: the ingredient list for the Pro Longwear Paint Pots is the same as for the regular Paint Pots when I compared against the list for Bare Study/Constructivist! It’s off by one ingredient when compared to the Paint Pots from Posh Paradise.
THE GLOSSOVER
I like Blackground, but when it comes to black cream eyeshadows from MAC, MAC's own Blacktrack is still my go-to. It's more intense, though, so if you prefer a softer black this would be a better choice.
