cool thanks...

anyone have any yellow-ish recs? or orange? red?

i want to buy one or two from each color family, i am not real familiar with the pigments and glitters, i have read that some are more pigmented than others and such, so i figured no one knows better than you all here

My friend has a Livejournal post with swatches of almost every pigment (she used to sell samples but she doesnt anymore) You should be able to view it even if you dont have LJ:
mac_cosmetics: Pigment Samples!!!!

All the pigments come out pretty good, which is why everyone loves them I think. The only 'problem pigments' can be the ones that are chunky and too glittery.... Rose, Steel Blue, Copper Sparkle. Thankfully most pigments come out just as great as they look!

Hope this helps you!

Violet
Pinked Mauve
Fuchsia

Rushmetal/Copper Sparkle (pretty much the same)

And weird/cool/funky for the sake of being weird/cool/funky:

Blue Brown

Golden lemon is great from the yellow colour family, Pink vivid and pink pearl from the pink/purples. Also love teal and golden olive from the greens. Rebel rock blue is also fab x

Golden Lemon is a great light yellow-ish gold shade.

Off the Radar is a beautiful orange-y fiery shade, but its LE. You may be able to find it in the Sales section though or even at a MAC store. I know that my MAC store still has some of the pigments from Rushmetal.

And if you want a true red pigment, Basic Red pro pigment is the way to go.
