Dupe for mac paint pot painterly Patch#
I have one TINY dry patch on my left eyelid, and had to add just a touch of a thick cream to that lid before applying the ELF primer, or the dry patch would stick out like a sore thumb. If you have dry eyelids, this eye primer might be a nightmare for you as it will cling to dry patches unless you add some extra hydration to you lids before application.
Is it a dupe for the MAC Paint Pot? Yes and no. Overall, I really like the ELF Putty Eye Primer. Every shadow looked great applied over the ELF primer and lasted all day, just like the MAC Paint Pot does for me, which was very impressive. The shadows I tested with them (I did several wear tests using palettes from Wet N Wild, Natasha Denona, ColourPop, BH Cosmetics, Juvia’s Place, Urban Decay & Jeffree Star to compare shadow brands from different price points and quality).
I did wear tests using the ELF on one eye and the MAC on the other. So how does shadow application compare between the two? Very similar. I find a brush application to be a little patchy/uneven with the ELF. The MAC applies well with either your finger or a brush. I feel this is the best application method for the ELF one, as the warmth of your finger helps warm the product up to spread more evenly across the eyes. Both apply nicely to the eyes with a finger. I found that a little surprising as the ELF is infused with squalane for hydration. Now concerning the formula of each… the ELF is a little thicker and drier compared to the MAC, which feels more emollient and not as thick. In photos this doesn’t seem to translate well, but in real life, Rose does look darker than Painterly. But when applied to the eyes, they look basically identical. But when swatched side by side, however Rose loos a little darker. So looking at both Rose and Painterly side by side, Rose looks similar in shade. Sand doesn’t look like any of the current Paint Pot shades. For those curious, the shade Cream looks similar to Soft Ochre, and Clay looks similar to Groundwork. I got the shade Rose, which looks similar in color to Painterly in the MAC Paint Pot.
