I have tried many of MAC Paints and have not been satisfied with the exception of one. Many of these Paint colors are unwearable and are too dramatic for a daytime look. For example, the highly-lauded Stilife is too "platinum" and unnatural for a good eyeshadow base, in my opinion. I do like Mauvism, though...a beautiful lilac color. Go ahead and try the Paints if you're curious...can't hurt, but beware that they are not for everyone!
