MAC Layin' Low, Soft Ochre, Contemplative State, Tailor Grey Pro Longwear Paint Pots Reviews & Swatches
Layin' Low
MAC Layin’ Low Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a darker peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which built up to full coverage with a little more placed as necessary.
The texture was lightly creamy, dense and a little thick in the jar, but it had enough glide to apply evenly to bare skin and diffuse along the edges. You do have to work rapidly in order to blend out the edges perfectly as it was quick to set. It lasted well for 14 hours before fading slightly and closer to 16 hours before creasing visibly, though the wear down seemed slow.

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.

Soft Ochre
MAC Soft Ochre Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a muted, medium yellow with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly thicker in the jar, but it had enough creaminess to apply to bare skin and be blendable along the edges for the first five seconds or so.
The formula was quicker-drying, so you’ll have to work quickly to really get an even, diffused layer all-over (if desired). It had opaque color coverage that started to crease on me (though it degraded slowly) after 15 hours of wear.

Contemplative State
MAC Contemplative State Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a deep yellow with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to my lid and blended out without too much trouble–though the quick-drying formula meant I had to work very quickly before the blending window slammed shut!
The texture was lightly creamy, thicker in the jar but felt lightweight and flexible on my lid. There was a bit of creasing that started after 15 hours of wear, though it worsened at a slow pace.

Tailor Grey
MAC Tailor Grey Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium, grayish-taupe with subtle, warm undertones and a cooler overtone paired with a matte finish. When applied at more opaque coverage, it looked grayer, and then when diffused, the brown tone came through more visibly.
The texture was lightly creamy–more so than most matte shades in the range–which made it easier to apply, even out, and diffuse as desired. It started to show signs of creasing after 15 hours of wear.
