MAC Pigments that you LOVE

[KikiB]

Well I have to say that for the most part, I LOVE all the pigments I have but I'll cut it down.

Helium: BEST PIGMENT EVER. So it's crap as far as payoff goes on the eye. But it is so versatile. I love the red duochrome which makes it a perfect blush for someone like me. It makes an amazing highlight for the eyes, and mixed with Pink Pearl does well anywhere.

Jardin Aires: So versatile. This is for me what Vanilla is for many other people-it's a great neutral without screaming neutral. Mix it with Pink Pearl, Helium, or anything.

Mutiny: I love my blues and this is such a nice bright sky blue. The payoff on this is blissful, and you could feasibly use this over a Paint as a shadow.

Aire-de-Blu: This is not a beginners pigment. There isn't a ton of payoff with it; it is very light. It also is not as frosty as say, Jardin Aires. It's a different sort of texture in that it balls up a lot more and it's not flaky like say, Jardin Aires. This is amazing for doing soft, ethereal looks. I can see why it came out with Danse as the shadows in the collection were softer and this is very soft. Very light true blue with silver sparkle.

Golden Lemon: This is love. Frosty golden yellow...need I say more? I use it whenever I do a tropical-inspired look, and it's not overtly yellow so I can blend it out as a brow highlight.

Violet: It looks dark in the jar but it is so beautiful. It is what I go to when I want something simple-a light purple or a white shadow on the lid and this in the crease. Works every time.

I love all my pigments, really i do, i have collected about 60+ over the years and the only colors i dislike in pigments are all the blues.

I guess ill choose the ones i use often, im very very very warm toned, golds and taupes match me.

Your ladyship - Gorgeous creamy color, champagne with golden specs, great for highlighting and lid color. If i had to keep one pigment from my whole collection it would be this one.

Coco - Gorgeous taupe color, i can see myself wearing this when im 70 years old.

Gold(metal) - As a girl on MUA described it, a pigment that turns into liquid gold when wet!?! gorgeous..!

Violet - Best vibrant purple around

Pink Bronze - Golden pink color, the only pink i ever wear

Rose Gold - It reminds me of shiny pennies, to me it looks like a darker version of woodwinked.

..they are all really great, many L/E pigments are getting extremely hard to find 1 year ago you could find coco, subtle, sunnydaze, coco beach, entremauve, maroon on ebay all the time, now not so much, and when i see them they go for $60 dollars a jar, if your lucky you can find sellers here who sell off their pigment collection, but you pretty much have to be online the moment they post it because the top pigments go out fast.

I guess you probably know that Mauvement is to be re-released with the Overrich collection in August.
I, too, love it and would buy more, except that I already have two full-sizers.

 

[aimee]

im in love with steel blue its my fave

 

[KikiB]

Okay my two new loves? Fuschia and Royal Flush. Royal Flush is nice because it's not exactly a maroon but it's not pure red either, and Fuschia is so versatile. I can mix it for a cheek colour, or I can use it with my pink shadows.

 

[aleksis210]

subtle and melon

 

[lanslady]

Frost-perfect highlighter
Rose-I always get asked what I'm wearing when I wear this, and it looks great when mixed with lip gloss as a lip color!
Blue Brown-this is one color I didn't think I'd like, and it is one of my tops. I think it is sooooo beautiful on, I love the how the color changes from different angles.
Pink Bronze-OMG-looooove this one. I wear it way too much, it just looks so great with my fair complexion. I can't get enough of it.
Charteuse-Just got it, and all I can say is...WOW! I love yellows/greens, especially bright ones, and this one is perfect. I love how perfectly shimmery it is.

 

[reesesilverstar]

I have 2 pink ones that I really love:

Apricot pink(MAC) is the most gorgeousest pink lip color ever! I LOVE IT
Shell pink (Missha) is a gorgeous pink/gold/peachy pink. Applied wet is like OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh...

Blue Brown makes awesome eyeliner, and lid color.

I really want Dark Soul, Teal and Melon tho

 

[Heiaken]

Coco, Mutiny, Golden Olive and Silver for sure!

 

[lizardprincesa]

Yaaay for pigments! They are amazing!

I love all the purples, especially the Darker Purples.

I have many other Loves among the pigments,
(which I think I've been neglecting lately in favor of the new MES)

but my Favorite Pigment of All Time is definitely

*~* Entremauve *~*

​

 

[revinn]

Old Gold is my absolute favorite. What a weird, unique, beautiful color. Melon comes in at a close second; I love orangey colors on my blue eyes, and this one has pink and gold in it that really goes nicely with my hair.

 

[TwistedFaith]

I heart Green Brown & Mutiny.

 

[Peaches23]

I am in love with Sweet Sienna!!!

 

[PolyphonicLove]

Rose...its a serious multitasker. Works on eyes, cheeks, AND lips. Naked is another love of mine.

 

[QueenEmB]

sweet sienna is my favourite but i also love bright fushia

 

[pensive]

I'm not really good with working with pigments but I do love vanilla, fairylight, and blue brown.

 

[QueenEmB]

i find pigments easier to work with than shadows - they seem to blend easier for me.
