They are one fifth the price and deliver the same results in terms of pigmentation and staying power. Maybelline colour Tattoos are the perfect dupe in terms of texture to MAC paint pots. I would love if MAC makes smaller packaging so that the product doesn’t waste as this much quantity is very difficult to use in its shelf life. This mac tub of 5 grams will last for approximately 2 years when used occasionally. The quantity of the pro longwear paint pot is much more compared to regular eye shadow which makes it quite long lasting. I mostly use fingers to apply this as eyeshadow as a lot of product is wasted when used with a brush. The colour looks a lot deeper when used over this and the staying power also increases. This is perfect for a smokey eye also when the lower rim is lined with an angled brush. I also use this as a primer for eye shadows which have poor pigmentation. I use the pro longwear indianwood mostly as an eye shadow when i want a gold metallic look. MAC Paint pots are supposed to be used either as primers for other eye shadows or on their own. The pigmentation is exceptional with 9-10 hours with no creasing or fading. However, you need to be a little quick with the application as this dries fast and that makes it difficult to blend it completely. It glides easily on the eyes and blends beautifully. The texture of mac indianwood is very creamy and smooth without any grittiness.

This shade will look great on Indian skin tones and is a perfect shade for festive makeup. It is a beautiful bronze gold shade with finely-milled shimmer which looks very metallic on the lids. Indianwood is described as a metallic antique bronze shade with a frost finish. The glass packaging makes the product bulky to carry and there is always a fear of dropping it and breaking it.

MAC Paint pot in Indianwood comes in a classic black MAC packaging with a screw cap. Constructivist- Shimmery brown with red tones.

Bare Study- Beige shade with gold shimmer.
