Dark Soul, Fuschia, any of the darker greens

I love Subtle, Coco, Teal (oh yeah), Softwash Grey, Golden Olive, Chocolate Brown, Copperclast, Night Lights.....I could go on

...but I won't..

I'm NW55 and my fav is teal (tho I heard it shouldn't be on the eyes) and chocolate brown - really fabulous!

All of the Rushmetal pigments (except the white one with green reflects) look very brown people friendly. I am getting more and more excited about them (although in general I think pigments are messy and hard to work with).

^^Hey, have you actually seen the pigments in person or just pics? I'm wondering because MAC stuff always looks so different to me when I'm up close and personal.

Just pics, and not even on dark skin at that. You bring up a good point because a lot of colors that vary a lot on lighter skintones look very similar to other colors on dark skintones, and don't warrent buying. I wonder if this will be the case with any of the Rushmetal pigments...

Very true.....can't wait until they come out so I can test some.

We should have our own Beauty of Color swatch request thread. But considering people dont answer many of the swatch requests as it is, maybe it's not a good idea to work from a smaller pool...

Can anyone tell me how "Lovely Lily" and "Kitchmas" might look on NW45 skin? How is the consistency, I don't want anything too flacky or glittery to where it just crumbles off my skin. Any opinions will be appreciated?

Can someone please tell me if they have experienced "Lovely Lily" or "Kitchmas"? I have seen the swatches but cant tell how they might look or feel on NW45 skin. They look so pretty in the jar but I don't want anything with a lot of chunky pieces of glitter. Any help will be appreciated!

I second that statement big time! I have a dazzleray pigment that totally leaked all over my makeup bag and all over my stuff. Didn't ruin my makeup but my foundation brush keeps needing to be cleaned and my bag...well it's ruined! Sorry for the rant but because of them being loose I'm hesitant to purchase. Though everytime I go to the counter I longingly look at the fushia pigment since I LOVE fushia!!

I love pigments. I think they are great to work with. I do have some issues with matte pigments. Play around with different brushes and bases.

Quick Frost, chalkier version of White Gold, could be used as a highlighter. I find that we can use most pigments, but we have to be creative with the placement.

I gotta say thank you to all of you I was just getting ready to buy my pigment. I'm a pigment virgin! I might buy Blue Brown but i don't know

 

[MAChostage]

I say let your first pigment be Vanilla! There's not enough praise in the world for it! It's not only beautiful, but I'd say it's probably the most versatile.

 

[silverbelle282]

i'm a pigment virgin too! a nice MA i met once told me i would probably love tan pigment, pink bronze (i THINK she said it, or i imagined...is that perm anyway), but i've been thinking about vanilla too. although, i feel like i have all the stuff i'd use vanilla for (browbone hilight, cheek hilight, etc) and i would probably never wear it on my lid. so confused....

 

[bexarfeliz]

What a wonderful thread. There's a bunch of must haves now that I've read the endless lists. Must write them all down & check them off one by one! Thanks bunches ladies!

 

[jajababy]

I don't own too many pigments, but the one I love is Melon and Old Gold!

I just recently start getting into pigments the last few months, but the colors I have found to be most beautiful are Entremauve, Lovely Lily, Viz-a-Violet, and Cocoa. Out of all them, I would have to say Cocoa is the most versatile because it is pretty enough to wear in any setting and should flatter any skin shade.

Along with those, I fell in love with Gold Mode from the Rushmetal Collection!
