very vesatile color that will go with just about anything. It is a golden/taupe/tan color around the medium range. Its coco pigment with more golden/brown tones to it. It is shimmery also. I like to wear this with vanilla pigment or with Aromaleighs chloe and lorelei. This is the color i reach for if i want a soft and natural look.

Buy again? No

I rarely avoid using any pigment. I am not a brown fan, but I use it a lot as it is great for natural looks. However, in the case of MAC's Tan pigment, I have to make an exception. This is the most awful pigment in the world as far as color goes. I have only seen it look good (in person) on one person. It just makes the eyes look sick. Instead of making me look at the eyes, it makes me wonder if they got enough sleep.

Now, having said that, I know that this pigment is a favorite among many makeup afficianados. I am glad it works for them! Perhaps now that I have such an amazing collection of beautiful colors like Suntone Copper, Natural Suntan, Cappucino and Tibetan Ochre pigments, I might be able to use Tan as an accent instead of a shadow.

I have not given up yet. There HAS to be a good use I can get out of this color. As of now, however, I have not settled on one that I am happy with.

I have to laugh- when we are watching a movie, suddenly, I might burst forth with the comment "Oh NO! The makeup artist used TAN on her eyes. She looks sick. Why in the world with all of the beautiful browns out there would they use THAT??? It is SO distracting....." Poor guy.

My husband is mystified that I know this stuff..

Tan pigment is a great vesatile color that will go with many skin tones as well as many other eyeshadow colors. It is a shimmery color and great for a pretty nude eye! It works well with other pigments such as vanilla, chocolate brown, naked, fairylite, melon and golden olive. A great staple color as far as pigments!

I love tan pigment!! One of my faves for sure. I use it on the lid with deckchair on the brow for a natural look, and also add a bit of rebel rock blue as liner when I want something a bit more wow.

This is one of those colours that I was sort of undecided about. I mean, it's not really tan in colour is it. Anyhow, once I started using it, I can't get enough of it. I love to pair it with white gold pigment and I get so many compliments on it. It also looks really good with blues. A definite repurchase. Oh, it looks nice mixed with foundation for a healthy glow too.

One of my most used pigments I find it goes with so many different colors and looks great mixed with clear gloss.
At the moment I like wearing it with Goldenaire.

Absolute great value "all rounder" pigment, I would and will buy this again as soon as I need it. This colour can be paired with just about any other colour in the spectrum and looks good with just about everything. This is a staple in my kit and I couldnt be without it - its such a versatile colour, even on its own with a nice lippie its fabulous. Nice to work with and easy to blend, dont go past Tan for value and overall use!!

General Comments on this product: I couldn't get Woodwinked e/s to look like anything but poop on my eyes and was really sad. However, Tan p/m is what I wanted (and have seen) Woodwinked to look like!! Nice texture and beautiful metallic gold when used wet!

This is one of my favorite colors. I can be worn along for a natural look mainly during the summer time or with a darker crease color. My fave tan combo is Tan, chocolate brown and vanilla.

This is such a pretty, unassuming tan--coco (as in golden brown) pigment; it goes with so many shades, and I use it very often.
Caveat--I would never use it alone like I would other pigments--for some reason, if I use it alone, it makes me (an NW20) look a little washed out/ill... otherwise, it just morphs and makes any other shade look fabulous (don't ask me why!!) I love it with vanilla pigment.. also with Club e/s as a liner and a pop of lower eyeliner color (like Teal pigment) for a fun going out/summery look. This is a staple color for me at least.
