It lets you see the color right away. 2. the paint in the pot seals the lid thus keeping air out of the pot. I really don't like the way these new pots are designed and have to blame the design change on GW wanting your paint to dry up faster, so you will have to go and buy more. Makes perfect sense really.

I just tried with one of the new pots, they do stand upside down if you put them that way gently enough, because of the raised bit that shows the colour on the top, alright they aren't stood up straight but at a slight angle but what the hell., the foundation paints don't go upside down though.

Samus, I don't know what your doing with yours but mine stay open enough to stick a paintbrush in to get paint from the lip, alright, not up as much as the old ones but still easy enough, pluss because they don't stay up as much, i've no worry about paint from the lip on the top running down onto the lip on my pot.

Most likely- Or they are designed so they hold slightly less, and they charge us more, as they look slightly narrower at the top compared to the old ones.

Seems the be going around everywhere! This also has happened at my local supermarket for prepared items. slightly smaller containers same price!

Except the content is listd as the same amount on both (12ml/0.4fl oz) it's just the packaging that's smaller, as I'm sure they'd get into quite a lot of trouble with trading authorities if their contents were less than what is listed on the pot.
