Thank you for making this.

I have a few questions though, I heard you could get sample pigments.. is this true? Could you get samples of glitters, too?

And also, how do I go upon asking for them? I plan on going to MAC sometime this week to purchase some things from the heatherette collection, so i'm curious.

Great for blushes too, and lips - I find using a sponge tip applicator to apply pigment to lips the best and just add a clear gloss over the top - gorgeous!!

What a great idea panda, after all these years of using pigments I've never thought of that. I have all these full jars of loose beauty powders, now I'll have to try them!! Another way to use pigments since thats all I wear

I've only just started using pigments (only have 3 jars so far) and intend buying some more colourful ones soon from Cheryl.

Anyway i've been adding a tiny bit of the frosty highlighter colour pigment called 'Provence' to my Bare mineral veil or foundation to give a really nice healthy subtle shimmer look to the skin. It just takes away that chalky matt finish the Bare minerals tend to have. I think any of the frosty light shades, would work well, ie Vanilla or a very pale icy pink shade, or even the taupy/pale brown shades if you prefer it a little darker. Also it can take away the need for a seperate highlighter powder for your face.

I suppoze it's on the same lines as what Panda0410 suggested with the loose powder except this is with the Minerals instead.

Hi,

I'm not sure if your talking about me or the other cheryl but I moved my listing but just click my store link and there I am. I love pigments and they are so addictive, lol. I havent used regular eyeshadow for a long time now.
