I personally think that if you want to use these as stand alone eyeshadows and are therefore looking for colors you are better off with Benefit. If you want pretty colors that can double as a base underneath a different eyeshadow your best bet is MAC. I do have to say that I tend to use Bare Study and Let Me Pop predominantly as stand alone eyeshadows just like the Benefit ones. It’s just a matter of what suits better with your personal taste. Let me Pop, Bare Study, Painterly (no base) Nevertheless, Benefit also has a few very good neutral shades in their selection, so maybe price can be of a deciding factor here. Skinny Jeans, Stiletto, Get Figgy (no base)įor both brands it depends on the shadow/ paint pot how well they work. They are all very creamy and go on quite nicely, but as you can see in the pictures two out of three colors I have have great pigmentation/ texture, whereas one is a bit of a miss. MAC’s Let Me Pop is a bit flaky/ chunky, yet the pigmentation is still very nice. It’s a bit hard to work with due to the chunkiness. It sometimes doesn’t go where I want it to go. Benefit’s Get Figgy has a very nice frosty sheen to it, but as a result it is not as pigmented as the other two and so you need more of it to have it go on opaque. My tip here: swatch them in the store before buying any of these products and then decide how well they work for you. My winner here is MAC: the pigmentation is better, you get more product as a cheaper price, the texture is creamy and consistent and you can use them as shadows or as bases a lot easier than the Benefit ones. Some of the paint pots can be a bit chunky and thus harder to work with, but I think that is well worth the effort. * I have used US dollars to give a price indication as this made for a better comparison.
