MAC Pigment

...towards the end and chose MAC pigments because they are such a versatile and high-quality product. Before I tried them out, I was under the impression that pigments were really just a way for the big dogs at MAC to make a quick buck, because they are pretty expensive. Now I understand a little better, I really think they're quite reasonable. In short, pigments are simply a loose powder which is rich in colour and can be used as more than just an ...
...like. Over at the official MAC website, there are usually around 15 shades on offer, limited edition ones come and go and there are more yet on MAC Pro, which is for registered users (usually makeup artists). When you buy samples, you can often choose from all of these, giving you a really wide range to choose from. Of course you can also find the rarer ones on eBay, but bidding wars could get pretty agressive! Some must-haves for me would be vanilla, ...

Review of MAC Pigment

MAC Pigments...well, what can I say about them? Not enough, in my opinion - I could rave about these little gems all day! I was first (indirectly) introduced to MAC Pigments on a make-up site I very often visit. A girl had posted a "Parrot Eye Tutorial" on the forum in which she used green, blue, orange, yellow Pigments - all of which looked absolutely stunning on her. Her technique appeared so advanced and professional and, although I wanted to ...
...could go and buy the MAC counter out of their Pigment stock!! I wasn't sure how much to use at first, so I tried the tiniest amount using my eye shadow brush (Ruby and Millie if anyone would like to know!)...when I say tiny, I mean literally the same as 5 grains of sugar. I was in disbelief - the colour spread across my whole eye lid as if I'd used a much more generous amount. Not only that, but approx. 6 hours later the pigment was in its original ...

Review of MAC Pigment

MAC pigments are truly more than just any eye shadow!!! The first time i seen the MAC range, i was pretty dazzled by its vibrant and appealing colours - something which I have not seen before. They are nicely presented and lined up in pots that have been estimated to last you a lifetime! I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation as well as the actual content within these pots.... AMAZING. The first thing to be aware of is the smooth feel they ...
...definitely be aware that the MAC range will remain on even after a long energetic night out. It is definitely long lasting unlike the other eye shadow products I have invested in. I first purchased a fuchsia Mac pigment, the colour was amazing. It did not dull out as soon as it was applied to my lids. The colour remains exactly how it looks in its tub. It cost me £15 for a tub, now to some like myself you may be slightly hesitant to splash out on ...

Review of MAC Pigment

I've been using MAC Pigment for about a year now, they are basically a loose colour powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. I always use an eye primer before application of the Eye pigment. I usually buy my pigment from the MAC website where they retail at £15, they come in a 7.5g pot which lasts me about 6 months so in my opinion its worth the price. I currently own Cornflower which is a blue colour, Golden Olive which is ...
...If you are going to purchase a pot of MAC Pigment I would suggest you don't purchase one from Ebay as I've heard that they are copies and do not contain the same ingredients that the authentic MAC products contain I also review on dooyoo under the name daniabr ...

Review of MAC Pigment

...(all made of plastic). The MAC logo graces the front of the pot in sophisticated black lettering. The pot is easy to open and close, and doesn't leak. --Application-- You will need to purchase an eyeshadow brush (or sponge, it doesn't matter) for this. Dip the tip of the brush/sponge into the pigment and either apply all over the eyelid, or follow the line of the top lashes and then smudge outwards (either with water or without). This was all very ...
...I think all of the MAC pigments have some sort of shimmer or pearlescence to them. On the eyelids the powder feels very smooth and non-irritating. --Appearance-- While this could so easily look over the top, it really doesn't. With the smoky grey, brown and black shades, you can create smoky eyes with ease without looking like you've been in a fight. --Longevity-- Utterly perfect. I haven't attempted it without a primer, but with my usual combination ...

Review of MAC Pigment

I was first recommended MAC pigments through an online forum and I happily decided to try some samples. My other eyeshadows had started to feel useless - not only did they crease on application and wear out easily, but they were not very bright and it was difficult to tell different colours apart. MAC has a huge variety of pigment and I was surprised that it was in powder form, something I'd never really tried before. Though I found applying it a ...
...need a LOT of practice and time to do a good job and often I prefer dabbing on my usuals in order to save the bother. But especially for special occasions MAC pigment is completely worth it - it really does look good and stay looking good throughout the day. ...

Review of MAC Pigment

...I admit I am a MAC junkie, an expensive but rewarding habit to keep! The first MAC product I tried was a pigment, Violet. Since those days I have over 50 jars and love them all. If you're looking for a shadow that will last for years, never crease, has colour that pops and comes in a variety of shades look no further. Yes the £15 a jar may seem like a lot but this is a seriously versatile product. The shade pink opal for example can also double ...

Review of MAC Pigment

...and treated myself to a MAC pigment in aquatic shimmer, its GORGEOUS! i love using it with a wet brush as the colour is so much more intense, it goes on really well and lasts so much longer than normal pressed eyeshadows. Its also crease proof and can last all day and through to night! The colour range is also amazing, every colour known to mankind! I seriously reccomend this eyeshadow in any colour, although its a little pricey at £12 its totally ...

Review of MAC Pigment

I have been using MAC pigments eye makeup for about a year now and I have to say I am fully pleased with the results. They are so versatile and fresh they make your eyes pop. They can be used dry or wet. They can be mixed and matched to make up beautiful eyes that will stun the room. They are also great because a little bit goes a long way. Used with their MAC makeup brushes one bottle is sure to last you at least one year, depending on how much ...

Review of MAC Pigment

These are excellent... Even better than pressed eyeshadows. Although, I'm still going to keep using the shadows. To be completely honest, though, I've never actually bought a jar of this stuff from MAC, since there isn't a color in this whole world that I would want 7 grams of for £15. So instead I buy the 1/4th teaspoon samples off ebay or friends. The shades are all very pretty, as with all of MAC's colors, and they blend wonderfully. The colours ...
...with a red undertone ; or Blue Brown, that's basically brown with a blue undertone isn't that gawgus !!?? Every shade has its uniqueness in there no matter how subtle or ordinary it may seemed in the pot. Comes in a wide colour range, stays put throughout the day even in hot humid weather, doesn't crease at all... it's perfect ! A pot will probably last you a lifetime and be warned, these evil little pots are highly addictive !! A lot of reviewers ...

Review of MAC Pigment

Mac pigment is a must have, it is expensive at £15 for 7.5g, but it goes a long way. Pigment comes in a tub and it come it a wide variety of colours from Rose, Teal, Golden Lemon, Naked, Chocolate Brown and Pink Opal, whatever colour you need mac will have it. Pink Opal is is my favourite of all the pigments i own, it is one that is not too bright, is a white with a pink shimmer to it and goes great with everything especially in the summer its great. ...
...for anywhere on the face and it has an ingredient that makes the powder stay on your skin. Pigmeny is great to use as you can blend it for a more subtle tone or you can use it for a more intense effect. Either way it works really well, ever more it is long lasting so its great for those night out as you do not have to keep on re-applying it. Pigment is a must try for any girls make up bag, i believe any make up bag would not be the same without ...

Review of MAC Pigment

MAC pigment costs 15 pounds in UK. A jar lasts forever, so it's a good idea to share it with some friends which is just what I did. That's a good way to try more shades at a low cost. My favorite shades are coco and teal. Coco is a shimmery red tone brown shade. It was sold out in all MAC counters, only available on ebay now. I always use it alone, and it makes my dark brown eyes pop. I don't know how to insert a picture here, so add a link below. ...
