I didn’t bother again, not that I could ever master lining my eyes with a brush anyway. It dried out within a week, even though I followed the sales assistant’s instructions to the letter and replaced the lid as soon as I loaded my eyeliner brush. I was put off by their gel eyeliner (also housed in a glass pot). They give you MORE than enough to see if you like it.I’ve never owned a Mac Paint Pot, even though they’ve been around for donkey’s years and are considered a bit of a cult classic. This will do it! When each of these eyeshadows is layered over Rubenesque, you can see how strong they become just in the swatches alone: MAC Rubenesque (L to R) Arena applied over a primer, Arena applied over Rubenesque (L to R) Off the Page applied over a primer, Off the Page applied over RubenesqueĪmazing how the addition of a simple paint pot can dramatically change how an eyeshadow behaves, isn’t it?! As mentioned in the first post I did on MAC paint pots, if you aren’t sold on buying a full size jar of one of MAC’s paint pots, I ordered samples from this websiteto try them myself. Several ladies have written me in the past to ask about how to get Arena to show better on the lid.

In this look, I chose to layer Off the Page and Arena over it after applied to the lid.

Additionally, its duochrome quality is also great for layering under pink and yellow eyeshadows to set them ablaze! In today’s post, I’ll be showing you how easily it punches up your orange eyeshadows.

The wonderful thing about this color is its versatility. Like many of MAC’s duochrome eyeshadows, it was only a matter of time before they turned that formula into a paint pot and formed the ever-lovely Rubenesque.
