Must have pigment colors for darker ladies??

[MACaholic76]

Please name your favorites! I need to get them ALL!!!

 

[ebonyannette]

I only have one full size piggie

but I have samples, I like

Accent Red (looks more maroonish)
Fucshia
Dark Soul
Rose
Nightlights

I have a Melon piggie my friend gave to me and I dont like it much on really dark skin it looks gold, I use it to highlight sometimes though

 

[OnaFyre]

My favorites are Vanilla, Pink Bronze, Old Gold, Bright Fuschia (more exciting than Fuschia), Rose, Burnt Burgundy, Violet, Teal, Blue Brown, Deep Blue Green, Platinum, Dark Soul, Accent Red (or Ruby Red, both are similar enough to Cranberry e/s if the budget is tight. In fact, many pigments are similar to e/s if money is an issue. Blue Brown and Club are another example). I just got Melon yesterday, so I'm excited about trying it.
There are some LE ones that are cool if you can get your hands on them- Softwash Grey and many of the She Shines pigments come to mind.

I had Dark Soul a loong long time ago but sold it on ebay. This was like 3 years ago when I knew very little about pigments. I want it back!
I do have Cranberry and that shade has taken me some work to use! But when you do get it to work, it's gor-geous!

I love all pigments. I have way too many, but I really love Night Light from She-Shines, almost all the rest of She-Shines, Golden Lemon (which I hear is about to be discontinued), Bright Fuchsia and Fuchsia, and Copper Sparkle. Copper Sparkle and plain Fuchsia work really well on me for a lipstick. You an see Fuchsia as lipstick here.

Pigments are my favorite thing. I'm about to get Gold Dusk, and I know it's going to be amazing. My collection is based around pigments. Also, the new one coming out with Nocturnelle (Entremauve) looks super promising. Sorry for the novel.

 

[teka]

My most favorite piggies are maroon,(this one is discontinued, but you can still find the holiday vials.) copper sparkle, rose, rose gold, deep purple, steel blue, old gold, and I am waiting very patiently for the new piggie entremauve!!! Hurry up Nocturnelle!

Can someone please help me with my Blue Brown? The one time I've worn it, it looked like a fly's wing. I want it to look more like this:

[doniad101]

Pigments!

I love pigments: here are a few that look great on dark skin ladies:

Pinked Mauve
Apricot Pink
Chocolate Brown
Sunpepper
Golden Olive
Emerald Green
Copper Sparkle
Chocolate
Dark Soul
Softwash Grey
Blue
Teal
Violet

These are a few that I have samples of. Oh and Lily White and Pink Opal are so pretty if applied near the tear duct or highlighting with other pinkish pigments. Others that I've seen on women of color are: Coco, Tan, Blue Brown, and Coco Beach and thought those looked pretty as well. Hope that helps!

Try these color-combinations Juneplum did in her FOTD - "Playing around with color placement". I'm an NW45 -- wore all of these colors on my eyes. And I got more compliments and "how-to" questions I've ever gotten in my life! http://www.specktra.net/showthread.p...Ostent atious.

AND once you try it this way, it'll get your creativity juices flowing. I wear blue brown at least once a week in color-combinations with blue, green and teals [liners and eye-shadows]. It is a very versatile color to be worn year round!

I've made it work by wearing a very dark e/s under, like Carbon or Black Tied. You can also wear it over Brun or Espresso. This will bring out the blue hues and will not look so burgundy-ish.
