I'm a cream eyeshadow lover I love how easy it is to apply them on the go and 'coz MAC paintpots are the perfect Cream eyeshadows,these get lot of loving from me.
MAC describes Paintpots as "A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish.Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weigh or caking.Blends smoothly over the lids.Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners"
MAC Constructivist paintpot is a rich dark chocolate brown pearl with a beautiful sheen.This is a great shade for creating chic neutral looks. The medium & duskier skinned beauties would love this more than their paler sisters.

True to its claim it has a wear time of over 10 hours on my oily lids,unlike other creme based eyeshadow it doesn't crease on my lids..It can be used alone as an all over wash of color or can be applied underneath other powder eyeshadows as well to add dimension to the look.
The paintpots dry pretty quickly and you need to work quickly on blending. Personally I prefer using my ring finger to dab and blend my paintpots.You can use a flat concealer brush for applying and blending your paint pots, don't use your regular powder eyeshadow brushes with paintpot else they might have massive product build up and not work very well with your powder eyeshadow.
Constructivist has a beautiful sheen and it elevates it from boring brown to a rich deep pearlescent chocolate shade.
It is great for everyday office wear & I love just seeping this on my lids and adding 2 coats of mascara and I'm good to go!
However if you are plagued with raccoon eyes and couldn't be bothered with concealer in the morning then be careful of constructivist it might make your eyes more deep set and fatigued.
MAC paintpots retail for $17.5 in US / India Rs 1300/- for 5 gram jar. The quantity is pretty good however unless you are using the shade everyday you might find that your paintpots are drying out before you make much of the dent in the pot. So if you find forking out 1300 bucks a bit much for a single cream eyeshadow then you can try buying a sample sized jar from www.thebodyneeds2.com or split it with your friends 'coz it really will last you a long long time.
Overall Recommendation-MAC constucitivist will work well under darker shadows to add a nuanced dimension to your eye makeup, but don't expect it to replace a eyeshadow primer.The shade is great for creating neutral looks and is a great addition to your vanity. It is specially helpful for beauty beginners,working women and neutral look lovers.I would recommend it!
