What pigments do you have and how do they rate?

Tan (***) - a little too sheer for my liking, but a nice neutral.
Melon (****) - I prefer this as a highlighter as it adds a subtle golden cast.
Frost (**) - Not bad, but very glittery!
Violet (*****) - Love this! A nice shimmery bright purple that isn't too dark!
Grape (****) - A great liner color when used wet!
Maroon (****) - Same as Grape.
Blue (*****) - This is an awesome bright shimmery blue that reminds me of Freshwater e/s.
Green (*****) - The only true mid-green I've found with suitable shimmer that isn't too dark.
Gold (*****) - I love this as a wash because it has a yellow tone instead of being metal.
Kitschmas (***) - A change from the usual creamy colored highlighters.
Blue Brown (****) - This is nice as a multi-dimensional liner.
Golden Olive (*****) - A gem! This is one of the best out there!
Pink Opal (*****) - I like this as a highlighter with any cool toned shadows.
Pink Pearl (****) - This rocks because it is completely unlike any other shadow or shadestick.
Vanilla (*****) - A great neutral highlighter that can be paired with anything.
Old Gold (*****) - Very nice green tarnished mid-gold.
Fairylite (***) - A neutral satin with some glitter in it for oomph!

Waiting for Steel Blue, Coco Beach, Rose, Kelly Green and White Gold in swaps!

Golden Olive (****): The first pigment I've bought, amazing green and gold!
Bright Fuchsia (***/2): Very intense color, only great for a liner or inner crease
Old Gold (****): Great as well, although I just have a sample I use it almoste everyday
White Frost (***): Good use as a highlghter on the brow bone but too simple for me!
Melon (****): Not received yet but when my MA used it on me it looked fantabulous ;-)
Copper Sparkle (*****): Mhh i looove it! It makes my eyes pop!

Shawna · 04-13-2005, 02:45 PM #6 (**permalink**)

pink opal - love it, use it all the time
rose - love it use it especially on my cheeks (it did go kind of clumpy in its container though?)
fairylite - loved it until I found out it wasn't eye safe. Still use it on my cheeks and for highlighting. I guess I'll have to get the new safe formulation

I have a vial of coco beach from the christmas collection that I have only tested once. It is too dark for me. I am not allowed to trade yet, but will trade for sure once I can.

ladybugz07 · 04-13-2005, 04:24 PM #7 (**permalink**)

Well, I got my first pigment about 5 years ago (Frost)... I was kinda out of the pigment loop, until this past Christmas. So, with the exception of Frost, I have amassed all these pigments in the past 5 months...

claresauntie · 12-31-2006, 09:18 AM #12 (**permalink**)

I couldn't even go through them all and list them!
My faves are the Pro Metals (all of them), Black Black, Subtle and MELON.

I am also really interested in the new Danse piggies. I haven't played with them too much, but they seem to be similar to what I like in Melon (which mostly has to do with their versatility on different colors of skin).

geeko · 12-31-2006, 09:31 AM #13 (**permalink**)

♥MiCHiE♥ · 12-31-2006, 11:09 AM #14 (**permalink**)

Deep Blue Green (*****) I love this with Teal Pig. on the lid for a fab smokey eye.

Blue (***) I love this color, but it only got 3 stars 'cause I never wear it.

Tan (*****) This is my favorite pigment. I wear it almost daily. I've dropped it on the floor and scooped it back up with business cards because I adore it so much (maybe I should just get a back up, eh?)

Softwash Grey/sample (****) I read about this color all the time with blues....I've gotten so many compliments on it with other purples.

Apricot Pink/sample (*****) I really should get a full size of this one. I wear it A LOT. My fave. combo with it? Apricot Pink on lid, Tan Pigment on inner V, faded into crease, Mulch on Crease, A little Brown Down to the outer V and Retrospeck to highlight.

Fuschia/sample (****) Not worn much, but I love it when I do.

Teal (*****) LOVE THIS!!!

Blue Brown (*) Recommended by my MUA. Totally not into it.

Pinked Mauve (***) Very pretty color, but I reach for Apricot Pink Pigment more.

Accent Red/sample (****) Love this color, but I have yet to wear it.

-Electric Coral(**)hardly shows up unless you use a base
-Subtle(*****)such an awesome neutralish color that can be played up or played down depending on what you pair it with.
-Golden Olive(*****)such a beautiful color, and goes on very easilly.
-Golder's Green(*****)very beautiful color that's unique.
-Night Light(*****)I use this practically everyday!
-Shimmertime(*****)This makes for a wonderful highlighter on the cheeks and eyes.
-Ruby Red(****)Even though it's not eyesafe, I still use it there. that's my only gripe about it though. but it's also a great lip color! one of my favorite pigments.
-Pink Pearl(****)I wish it went on more pigmented, it has a good texture but on me, it goes on a little sheer. I have to use hush ccb to get it to the color in the jar.
-Steel Blue(***)one of my favorite blue colors, but unfortunately, goes on like SHIT! if you use mixing medium it goes on, but even with hush ccb, it doesn't go on like the jar. it has to be wet I guess.
-Softwash Grey(***)it's a nice color, but has an odd texture.
-Gold Dusk(*****)S
