Rubenesque or Painterly??!

[paige2727]

Hi guys! Ok, so I am wanting a paint pot from MAC and I am tossing up between rubenesque and painterly! Rubenesque looks like a gorgeous colour but painterly looks like a good one for everyday use! I am a very neutral girl, so I think I would get much more use out of painterly but still rubenesque looks so pretty!!

What do you guys suggest??

I use paints not paint pots. They dry out to fast and have never worked for me. I used untitled.

I have Painterly and it is love! I've had it for about a year and it has not dried up on me at all! I also have had Bare Study for a few months and it has not dried up at all either! I would recommend making sure they are closed well. I have also used paints, and they are good too, but Paint Pots are great!!

I don't have Rubenesque, but I'm pretty sure it would make ur shadows shimmery. So it would depend on what you are looking for....do u wear alot of shimmer, or if not Painterly would be perfect bc its a neutral base!

Rubenesque turns my shadows orangey, Painterly is better for a neutral, everyday PP IMO.

i would have to say painterly, its goes with a much wider variety of colours. i have bare canvas paint and i have to its also much better then the paint pots.

I have Painterly and love it! I use it with all of my neutral everday looks. I agree with XxXxX about the shimmer in Rubenesque. I have another paint pot (forgot the name....the gold one) that has shimmer and don't use it as much.

Definately Painterly PP. Rubenesque could be your next one

I'd suggest Painterly. Rubenesque makes a very nice one-wash color as opposed to an actual base

I have both and for some reason Rubenesque dries out really fast. This is the second one to dry out within of month of me buying it. I would go with Painterly.

It happened to me too!! I find that matte paintpots (Painterly, Soft Ochre) don't dry out as fast as the other ones.

Thanks for replying guys!! I really appreciate it! Ok looks like I am getting painterly!!

Painterly - more versatile. Lasts forever

I don't know why ppl's paint pots are drying. I've had most of mine for over a year and no drying at all (that includes Rubenesque btw)

as for your question, for everyday, def go with Painterly, I'm on my second one now and will need a new one soon

Another vote for Painterly...

 

[FiestyFemme]

Definitely go with Painterly! It's much better for an everyday color.

 

[ilorietta]

Painterly (or a nice shimmery neutral one is Groundwork!)

 

[User38]

Painterly or Soft oçhre.. both really neutral.

I'd go Painterly! I have it and it's great for everyday use. It neutralises your eyelid and you can use any shadow on top and the P/P will not alter the e/s colour

Painterly. My paint pot (Groundwork) has never dried up, and I've had it for over a year. I only use it occasionally though.
