It’s Fabstract is similar in texture to Clearwater, maybe because it’s a deeper color, it applies somewhat patchy on the lid.

The one I got feels a lot drier and it marginally glides on my lid with slight tugging (I always apply MAC Paint Pots with my fingers). Contemplative State is very comparable to Groundwork. Groundwork is the most creamy and smoothest.

I would say in my whole matte MAC Paint Pot collection, Groundwork is the best in terms of the texture and results on the lid. Let’s talk about them first.Ĭontemplative State is the smoothest and applied most evenly among these 3. In this batch, 3 of the new MAC Paint Pots I purchased are matte, which feel quite different when applied or just swatching. Formulation of the 2021 new MAC Paint Pots Contemplative State, It’s Fabstract, Clearwater, Born to BeamĪlthough I haven’t found any of these new MAC Paint Pots performs badly, their textures and qualities in general do vary in my opinion. Similarly for the ingredient list, they are also the same as other new MAC Paint Pots that I covered before.

Each of them contains 5 g or 0.17 US oz of product in a glass pot. Regardless of whether they are new or original in the line, MAC Paint Pot * is retailed for $23 USD.

About the 2021 new MAC Paint Pots Contemplative State, It’s Fabstract, Clearwater, Born to Beam.

The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer.

(Plus, it is rare that products actually go as long as 12, let alone 16, hours without some sign(s) of wear.) I don't recall this product having a specific, 24-hour wear claim before (and my prior reviews don't mention it, just that it was 'long-wearing'), so ratings did change for certain shades as a result.īrowse all of our MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot swatches.

With 24-hour wear claims like this, I wear for as long as I'm awake, but I don't want to sleep in makeup, so I extrapolate based on the state of it at 16-hours. The wear of the shimmer shades was shorter, too, and there was often a bit of creasing within 10 hours of wear. I didn't find that they applied any better using brushes over fingertips or vice versa. They were best applied in thin layers and built up, but the results were inconsistent and varied a lot between shades. The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision. The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing-12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading-but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was). The formula is supposed to be 'highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable' and can be used as either an 'eye primer' or as a 'cream shadow.' The brand says it's supposed to wear for '24 hours' without flaking or creasing.
