Iridescent Purple pigment is a true bluish violet just like cornflower pigment with cornflower shimmer instead of pink. I would say this is a true cornflower blue. If you are looking for a true PURPLE pigment, check out sweetscents' purple shimmer pigment. It is amazing.

(skip the next few paragraphs if you are reading a lot of these reviews)

Well, I just HAVE to take the time to review these pigments. Perhaps you are a MAC pigment addict and wish for more colors to buy, but there aren't any more.

Maybe you are a MAC pigment addict and the $18.50 for one color is prohibitive for you.

In either case, this may be an answer for you. Sweetscents.com is run by a woman who supplies pigments to many major makeup companies so that they can use them in their makeup of their own formulations. The milling of most of these colors is similar to the finer milling of the newer MAC pigments, not the chunkier versions in the old formulations.

She has colors that I used to dream of. The price is unbelievable- approx $2 a jar - go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for mica pack combos at the bottom of the page.

Purple Iridescent is really nice- intense pigment and a true cornflower useful with pink pearl, turquoise & MAC's all girl. The quality is as nice as many of the MAC pigments I have. It is similar to the newer formulation and not the old MAC chunkier or flakier pigments.

I have not experiemented with this color as much as I would like to in the future.
