The combinations are endless! I especially like to do this with lipstick colors. Just take two (or three!) pigments, mix them together and you’ll have your own custom color. Glowing Skin: Take a small amount of pigment, mix it in with your foundation before application and apply as normal.Ĭustom Colors: Another noteworthy benefit of using pigments is the ability to create your own custom colors.
Highlighter for Cheeks: I like to use Blonde’s Gold pigment apply a small amount to a blush or contour brush and sweep lightly onto the cheeks, bridge of the nose, collarbone or cleavage area. Regular lipsticks can dry out your lips, but mixing a pigment in with your regular lip moisturizer means you won’t be drying out your lips, or sacrificing color.īlush: To use a pigment as a blush, just pour a small amount out onto a dish or a small paper plate, swirl your brush around in it and apply lightly to the cheeks.
Lipstick: You can apply pigments to your lips by mixing them in with a clear lip gloss or a moisturizing lip balm like Carmex. This can stain the brush, so if you’re worried about that, I recommend buying a separate bottle of clear nailpolish specifically for using ONLY with pigments. After applying with the nailbrush provided, wipe the brush with nail polish remover and put it back into the bottle.
Nailpolish: Pour a small amount of your pigment onto a paper plate and pour out a similarly small amount of clear nail polish mix together. This method can uncover hidden colors in the pigment and make more sheer pigments stronger.Įyeliner: Similar to the steps with metallic eyeshadow, mix the pigment with a mixing medium and apply wet to the lashline(s) with an eyeliner brush.Ĭolored Macara: Two methods of doing this use clear mascara or use disposable mascara wands dipped into an eyeshadow transformer with the pigment and apply to the eyes. Metallic Eyeshadow: Mix the pigment in with an eyeshadow transformer ( I use the one from Jesse’s Girl here), MAC’s Fix+ spray or simple water and apply wet to the eye. (Full demonstrations of the below methods have been included in the above video.)

This loose form allows for a variety of uses! To discover the 7 different ways, and see demonstrations for each, I invite you to view the below video, or read on for more information.Īnd for a cheap way to try pigments, I recommend sample sizes for $2-4 I buy mine from this website. MAC Small Eye Shadow - Brule - 1.5g/0.05oz by MAC. The unique thing about buying loose pigments is that you’re not limited to ONLY using them as eyeshadow. When you purchase your regular eyeshadows from MAC, those are just pigments that have been pressed and packed together to make them easy to use as eyeshadow. Pigments are simply a loose form of intense color. However, if there is a color you're in love with they have and you can't find a dupe, go for it.I have received a few questions over the past couple months asking the difference between eyeshadows and pigments and why pigments even exist. Would I buy them for $16.50? Not again after this sale (I did buy Style Section for $16.50 - I had a gift card and I'm a sucker for silver!). Other than that, they make good liners and last all day with minimal fading with a good base of course. Secondly, they blend really easy with the right tools, a 217 or just a fluffy eyeshadow brush. They're really pigmented, which is always the base of a good eyeshadow. How do I feel overall about these eyeshadows? I really like them a lot. Here's a picture of one of the eyeshadows: They're an inch in diameter and probably close to the same size as a MAC eyeshadow. Each eyeshadow comes in it's own little container with a slide off lid, which is actually really pretty.
The colors I have are Statuesque(Intense, Matte Black), The New Black(Metallic, Black with silver glitter), Style Section (Metallic, Bright silver), and Daylight Glow (Shimmer, Goldy-white pearl). I only picked up two, but I already had two eyeshadows. So, I picked up a few of their Color Design Eye Shadow singles, which were on sale 2/$10 (Original Retail - $16.50). Besides that, I wandered over to the Lancome Company outlet as well, where they were having a pretty nice sale. So, I went to my local CCO recently, and I ended up picking up some MAC of course.
