![]() * I have used US dollars to give a price indication as this made for a better comparison. ![]() Some of the paint pots can be a bit chunky and thus harder to work with, but I think that is well worth the effort. My winner here is MAC: the pigmentation is better, you get more product as a cheaper price, the texture is creamy and consistent and you can use them as shadows or as bases a lot easier than the Benefit ones. My tip here: swatch them in the store before buying any of these products and then decide how well they work for you. Benefit’s Get Figgy has a very nice frosty sheen to it, but as a result it is not as pigmented as the other two and so you need more of it to have it go on opaque. It sometimes doesn’t go where I want it to go. It’s a bit hard to work with due to the chunkiness. MAC’s Let Me Pop is a bit flaky/ chunky, yet the pigmentation is still very nice. They are all very creamy and go on quite nicely, but as you can see in the pictures two out of three colors I have have great pigmentation/ texture, whereas one is a bit of a miss. Skinny Jeans, Stiletto, Get Figgy (no base)įor both brands it depends on the shadow/ paint pot how well they work. Let me Pop, Bare Study, Painterly (no base) Nevertheless, Benefit also has a few very good neutral shades in their selection, so maybe price can be of a deciding factor here. It’s just a matter of what suits better with your personal taste. I do have to say that I tend to use Bare Study and Let Me Pop predominantly as stand alone eyeshadows just like the Benefit ones. If you want pretty colors that can double as a base underneath a different eyeshadow your best bet is MAC. I personally think that if you want to use these as stand alone eyeshadows and are therefore looking for colors you are better off with Benefit. MAC does come out with different colors from time to time in their special collections though. MAC paint pots do too, but those colors are mostly skin tone colors or pretty close to skin tones. The Benefit cream shadows come in a variety of colors. MAC paint pots in Let Me Pop, Bare Study & Painterlyīenefit creaseless cream shadows in Skinny Jeans, Stiletto and Get Figgy A MAC paint pot will set you back $16.50, whereas the Benefit creaseless shadow will cost you $19*. On top of that MAC is slightly cheaper too. ![]() The paint pots are slightly larger as well: they contain 5 grams of product compared to 4.5 grams for the Benefit one. I like the MAC one slightly better: it looks a bit more sophisticated and I’m simply not a fan of the birds on the Benefit packaging. ![]() On the left: MAC Paint Pot, On the right: Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow & Linerīoth MAC and Benefit have opted for clean and simple packaging: clear glass jars with a black lid. The texture was moderately emollient with some slip, but it wasnt as prone to sheering out nor as slippery as some of the other pearl finish shades in the range. But which one is the best? Get ready for a showdown! MAC Bare Study Pro Longwear Paint Pot (23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a light, peachy beige with warmer undertones and a pearly sheen. They come in a range of colors and both have creamy textures. Both products are pretty similar: you can use them as eye shadows, but they also function as bases underneath other (powder) eye shadows. I also love Benefit creaseless cream shadows. ![]()
