Painterly has been a workhorse for me for years! I used it on its own for work every day, along with some black pencil along my upper and lower waterlines, black mascara, and some brow pencil; an easy, pulled-together, and work-appropriate look that I could apply in no time (which was vital when facing an hour+ commute on a subway line where there was never any chance to sit and finish my makeup, lol).
Even though I’m not working anymore, I think I still might add Bare Study and Vintage Selection to my collection anyway, so I have the option of a bit of shimmer now and then when I do get made up.
Thanks for posting this, Christine! The Paint Pots really are one of my favorite MAC products, which inspired me to check out some of the other colors!
