Hi-
On the precautions list here, there is a precaution for safetly only for Teal's batch #A64. On the insert on my brand new teal pigment from the MAC store, it reads:

The following shades of pigment are not eyesafe:
Chocolate Brown
Cornflower
Dark Soul (!!!)
Fairy Lite
Golden Lemon
Naked
Teal

The following shades of pigment are not lipsafe:
Cornflower
Dark Soul
Fairy Lite
Kitchmas
Blue Storm
Teal
Violet

Which do I follow?
Thanks!
Becca

eh, technically both. It's telling you that the pigments that are on both lists are neither eye nor lip safe.
I think.

I just looked and it's batch A64 - this is a brand new one but it's still the non-eyesafe batch. I am emailing MAC for suggestions and to find out if there is an eyesafe batch I can exchange it for.

oh wow, i've been lemming teal pigment forever. Plase post their answer!

I sure will - no problem...

Golden lemon isnt eyesafe?... what the hell else are you supposed to use it for? Im definitely not walkin around with lemon lips!.... i really wanted to buy that color too...!!! Phewy!

This is something I am aware of, and looking into. This has been brought up previously in various threads.

Hahah. oh yeahhhh!!!! what exactly makes them not eyesafe? like does it irritate them? make you blind? burn your lids off? or is it just that its too chunky and may cut yoru lids? hmmmm....

it may be because there could be components in there that MAY cause irritation, so they let you know first just in case someone goes sueing them. i've personally tried most of those on my eyes...still not blind yet...

Allegedly, MAC is sending me a new batch so I am sending the non-eyesafe batch to an MUAer for swap - she is aware of the issues and is willing to take it and use it. Will post again when and if the new one arrives. Tx!!!

The new batch came! It took about a week and a half. Yippee!!!

good I want to get a teal one but I was waiting to make sure I could get a eye-safe one! Thanks for the update!

every single one of those that says not eye safe i use on my eyes...oops!

Ugh Chocolate Brown is one of my favorite pigments that I use on my eyes all the time.

Wait, what should I then use their pigments for? Only nails?
