Glitter will not allow a smooth application.

Not ideal to be used as base/primer for powder eyeshadows on top.

Has a little fall out by EOD – nothing which concerns me too much.

Have tried it all over lid, over another cream eyeshadow and under the lower lash line – worked well in all scenarios Cons of MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Let Me Pop:.

Stays put for good 8 hours with minimum fall out.

Extremely pigmented – a thin layer is enough to give the sparkle.

Flattering colour for the Indian skin tone.

Excellent neutral colour – easy to apply on the go.

To sum this up for you: Pros of MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Let Me Pop: Sometimes I prefer to put my liner on and then dab the paint on my lids. I have to be extra careful putting the eyeliner also. This would make even & smooth eyeshadow application on top, practically impossible. The glitter in the texture results in a non-smooth surface. One point to note for this particular paint pot – you cannot use it as base for your powder eyeshadow. I got about 8hours of wear time, which is great and is as good as the regular paint pots. The staying power seemed the same as other paint pots – did not seem exceptionally long as the name suggests – Pro Longwear – claiming 12 hours of crease free colour.

However, I ended up putting more product resulting in the caking. The sparkle is more visible once it dries off. In some of the pics it may seem a little cakey – that is because initially, I used too much product. A thin layer is enough to get the brightness. It sets down fairly quickly – however, gives you enough time for application and blending. However, it comes onto the fingers easily and can be dabbed onto the eye lids. The texture is similar to other paint pots – like a hard cream. While Let me Pop, because of the golden sheen and glitter, brightened the area. However, when I looked in the mirror, I felt that Vintage Selection was more cool toned and hence made the eye area seem more grey. Shimmer is more easy to carry off, has lesser fall-out, can be used more often.

Why? Vintage Selection has shimmer while Let me Pop has glitter. Guess what was their response? No! They actually said Vintage Selection was a better option. I applied one on each lid and checked with couple of SAs – both MAC and non-MAC for what seemed better.

I finally shortlisted it down to Vintage Selection – champagne colour with frosty sheen OR Let Me Pop – a coppery gold colour with distinct glitter.
