MAC Glitter & Ice Paint Pots Review & Swatches


I love MAC Paint Pots, so when MAC released 3 new colors for Glitter & Ice, I had to get all 3 of them... For Effect, Let's Skate, and Morning Frost.




MAC For Effect Paint Pot:



MAC Let's Skate Paint Pot:



MAC Morning Frost Paint Pot:



From L to R: For Effect, Let's Skate, and Morning Frost...



For Effect is a dark charcoal black with light silver sparkles. It's similar to MUFE Aqua Cream #1 Anthracite, but MUFE #1 is more opaque with finer silver shimmer. MAC Blackground is a lot darker, more opaque, and has a more subtle shimmer.

Let's Skate is a light pink with gold shimmer. This is so pretty! I can't think of any dupes.

Morning Frost is a medium taupe brown with a frosted finish. This looks very similar to MUFE Aqua Cream #13 Warm Beige, and I'm sure there are other possible dupes, but I don't regret getting this one because I know I would get a lot of use out of it.

I love cream eyeshadows, and I'm a huge fan of MAC Paint Pots. They are creamy, and they blend easily. They can be used as an eyeshadow base or worn alone as a quick wash of color. They can be sheered out, applied heavily, or layered to a desired intensity. Plus, they last for hours on end without smudging, creasing, or fading. Love!
