Re: Which pigment would you recommend to start out with?

i say it depends on what you want it for and what colors you like!

vanilla is very versatile for sure...but i use my melon and tan pigments more...because i love shroom more for highlighting and use it even on my cheek bones...

so go with colors that you love!!

It's funny that you posted this thread...you sound just like me. I have been thinking the same thing lately; I can't believe I don't own pigments but I have decided that Vanilla will be my first!

i actually prefer pink opal to vanilla - this one has a pinky sheen to it whihc i think is beautiful on the cheeks and lips and as a highlight or all over lid colour!

golden olive is absolutely gorgeous - you can dress it up or down so it looks good day or night. and teal pigment is great for any greeny eyed looks!

violet is a beautiful purple to have in your collection and i use this as eyeliner sometimes as well as a lid colour!

i also like golden lemon - i know it's not to everybodies taste because it's a lilttle chunky to work with but it's a lovely yellowy gold colour!

Re: Which pigment would you recommend to start out with?

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! I think I will start with vanilla and then get some samples of all the others...

Zzoster, I know what you mean! After reading all the other posts about pigments I was like "Hey, what am I missing out on here?" haha! I have been "collecting" shadows for years but I guess I was just a little unsure what pigments acutally were and they looked like something I might make a mess of myself with haha! Thank goodness for Specktra, I am learning a lot here!

I'd definitely recommend Vanilla. It's beautiful, and probably the most versatile.

Pigments are great! I press all mine - they are much easier to use that way

I just went to the CCO today and bought Melon and Fairy Lite pigments! They didn't vanilla so I will have to get that from MAC. Do they sell them at MAC counters?

Thanks! I don't remember seeing them at the counter by me. But they had quite a few at the CCO so I will have to pick them up to add to my collection as I go

I just got some neutrals recently: Goldenaire, Fairylite and Naked and Mega Rich. All three go well with Bamboo Eyeshadow.

I also got Royal Flush and Copper Beam but haven't had a chance to try them out.

I've had Dark Soul for awhile and it's growing on me...it's a rad color but it just has too much fallout.
