^^ I agree

I like to mix tan and melon together for a nice subtle highlight for NC30 skin

 

[geeko]

by the way fairylite and accent red makes a very very nice pink pigment... (when swatched on the hand) although in the pot it looks very blah. but trust me...fairylite and accent red goes hand in hand

i know the glitters aren't suppossed to be safe but i always mix my reflects pearl with landscape green and bright fuschia

i like to mix landscape green with golders green and pink opal
bright fuschia with ruby red...or pink opal.

I've my melon with rose; melon with copperclast; frozen white with copperclast. They all turned out really nice.

One I really want to try is Teal with a hint of melon or goldnaire; i just think it would look awesome

I really like my own homemade concoction of 'pinked mauve' and 'goldenaire'... such a pretty highlight and i use it as a wash on my eyes. one part goldenaire/one part pinked mauve.... they both happen to be some of my favorite piggies to use straight up too!

 

[geeko]

here are the pigments i've mixed....

Some swatch

the recipes:
Ray of time = dazzleray and shimmertime pigment
Dewdrop = golders green and azreal blue pigment
Lushery = golders green and gold dusk pigment
Desert = Fairylite and apricot pink pigment
Fuschia rose = fuschia and lily white pigment
Melon pink = dazzleray and apricot pink pigment
Sandstone = gold dusk and quietly pigment
Ocean blue = teal and blue storm pigment
Accent of muave = accent red and pinked mauve pigment
Night o gold = nightlight and old gold pigment
Antiqued brown = old gold and chocolate brown pigment
Teal o gold = golden lemon, teal and blue storm pigment

I've been attempting pressing some pigments..but I haven't really wanted to press them as just plain colors..so these are my first two creations.

on the left i mixed chartreuse with golders green and on the right is teal with rebel rock blue, lily white, and a hint of helium..I think its slightly parrotish

i mixed entremauve & helium and pressed it and it turned out a very interesting, but very pretty color. lol.

~ Mixing your pigments for a custom shade ~

I mixed together rose, fairylite, melon, jardin aires and a little of pink bronze and got a GORGEOUS shade that looks great as a shadow and cheek highlight and mixed with clear gloss it looked great on lips.

I was wondering if others have mixed their pigments and if so what are good colors to mix?


Also are their combos that look similiar to MAC e/s when mixed?



some I have tried:
melon + rose= really pretty lip shade!
teal+golden olive=nice for an e/s
It's a ton of fun mixing pigments!!

Entremauve and helium... gorgeousssssssss

Re: ~ Mixing your pigments for a custom shade ~

you know, i have never even considered mixing different pigments together to create a new shade, i might have to experiment with different ones to see how i like them.

Re: ~ Mixing your pigments for a custom shade ~

I mixed rose with a little pink bronze, and a sprinkle of golden lemon in lip conditioner to make a reallllllly pretty TLC. (It looks a like like Dainty cake lipstick, actually).

Also, I mixed basic red pigment with melon and golden lemon to make a pretty shimmery red pepper-ish color.

One more: Entremauve and Goldenaire with a hint of Subtle.

(I tried to mix Goldenaire, shimmertime, pink opal, and rose gold to make something like Pleasureflush, but it just wasn't good.)

I have mixed rebelrock blue and teal to make a greeny blue colour.

Am planning on mixing some of my deep blue green with white gold and see what I come up with!!
