MAC Silver Screen, Born to Beam, Belle Epic, Princess Cut Pro Longwear Paint Pots Reviews & Swatches

Silver Screen

MAC Silver Screen Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) seemed to have more of a transparent base with larger flecks of silver sparkle and finer silver pearl. It had sheer color coverage, which wasn’t buildable, and applied somewhat evenly but was by no means high performing.

The texture was more emollient, though not as slippery as some of the shimmery shades in the range, so it didn’t sheer out further. It dried down fast but had some time to diffuse and blend out the product on my skin. This shade stayed on decently for nine hours before creasing visibly.

Formula Overview

$23.00/0.17 oz. - $135.29 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable" and can be used as either an "eye primer" or as a "cream shadow." The brand says it's supposed to wear for "24 hours" without flaking or creasing.

The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer. The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing--12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading--but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was).

The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision. They were best applied in thin layers and built up, but the results were inconsistent and varied a lot between shades. I didn't find that they applied any better using brushes over fingertips or vice versa. The wear of the shimmer shades was shorter, too, and there was often a bit of creasing within 10 hours of wear.

With 24-hour wear claims like this, I wear for as long as I'm awake, but I don't want to sleep in makeup, so I extrapolate based on the state of it at 16-hours. (Plus, it is rare that products actually go as long as 12, let alone 16, hours without some sign(s) of wear.) I don't recall this product having a specific, 24-hour wear claim before (and my prior reviews don't mention it, just that it was "long-wearing"), so ratings did change for certain shades as a result.

Born to Beam

MAC Born to Beam Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark gold with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had a sheerer base that resulted in semi-sheer coverage, at best, as the texture was very emollient to the point where the product slid around and did not want to apply evenly.

I tried to wait a little to give it time to set before diffusing, and this just resulted in larger chunks of product moving and bunching up in places–so it looked worse! There was creasing after nine hours of wear on me, though it was faint and was slow to progress.

Belle Epic

MAC Belle Epic Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a brighter, medium copper with strong, warm orange undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and was one of the more blendable shades from the matte finish in this formula.

You’ll want to work very quickly to get softer edges, but it was doable. The texture was lightly creamy and picked up well with a brush as well as fingertips. There was a touch of fading after 14 hours and faint creasing that started after 16 hours of wear.

Princess Cut

MAC Princess Cut Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a pinkish-white with a sparkling finish. It had medium color coverage, which was prone to sheering out as the consistency was very emollient to the point where it slid around on my skin. This made it harder to apply the product precisely or to keep an even layer of it on my skin. It started to crease–albeit slowly–after nine hours of wear.
