With the Tailor Grey I was also hoping for a dupe to the Ellis Faas 107 because I am struggling with the EF packaging. Of course I prefer the TF to the Mac but this Mac Tailor Grey is not bad and I will actually get a lot of use from it. TF She Wolf is darker, this trio (not really a trio since I don’t use the glitter) is glamorous yet wearable, appropriate for the office, easy to wear, etc etc It’s neutral but the final look with it is always sultry and never ever looks tacky and for a powder texture, this is very long lasting. When I tried a first look with them (Perky on the eyelid and Tailor Grey in the outer crease and lower lashline) it reminded of a look that I do on a daily basis with the 2 recent trios from Tom Ford, In The Pink and She Wolf but once home I noticed that the shades don’t really compare. I am attracted to pink corals and taupes, specially when they are both combined in the same look.

A few intense swatching minutes later, I selected two, Perky and Tailor Grey, utterly in love with the shades, I had to take them home and give them a deeper test : I really should keep an eye on Mac news but happy and relieved that I was there at the right time after all. On Saturday I saw these new paint pots by surprise, I haven’t been following Mac collections at all so I did not know about them. I’ll make do with MAC Paint Pots though! There are some very nice shades available in this launch not to mention some are matte which makes them a great pick to use as a base.If you want to capture my attention you mention “long wear” and you get it… you mention Paint Pots and you’ll see my fingertips twiching with excitement ready to swatch! 😀 I didn’t think I’d miss them as much as I do but here I am several years after they have been discontinued yearning for them and thinking about the fact I never gave them enough love when I did own them. I do so wish they’d bring back MAC Paints. MAC Paint Pot shades available for Spring 2021 in a variety of new shades for $23 each and will be part of MAC’s permanent collection! Interestingly enough these got an early launch at but are not yet available anywhere else including from MAC directly.
