Pigments are one of those dual purpose makeup products that I believe is a product that every girl should have in their stash. If you are starting out get one or two colours you know can function in a few ways (Example gold, bronze, purple)
There are several ways that pigments can be used:
Left to Right: Makeup Forever #954, Makeup Forever Pure Pigment #16, Mac Pigment Old Gold, Mac Pigment Melon, Makeup Forever #942 |
- They can be used as eyeshadow. Applied wet will be more dramatic and vivid on the eyes. A very little goes a long long way, I have yet to finish any (dropping them on the floor as been as close as I have got)
- As highlighter or bronzer on the face. Provides a beautiful iridescent look on your face and makes skin appear bronzed and glowy. Apply with stippling brush or blush brush to buff into skin
- Add/mix pigment into lip gloss to create a different color lip gloss or sparkle
- Mix pigments into nail polish to create different nail-polishes and designs
- Mix into lotions or moisturizers to create a shimmery look on legs, shoulders, face and chest
- Mix pigments together to create your own custom made colours
- Can use pigments to create eyeliner using mixing medium (mac cosmetics sells mixing mediums that can be used as well)
