Other Pigment Brands...

[LatinaRose]

LaFemme and Emani are some cheap ones ($5-9) that can be found at beauty supplies. They blend pretty well and I've been happy with them.

Personally, I prefer getting true cosmetic pigments (not a mix of pigment, filler, binder, etc. that a company simply calls a pigment, like MAC's) and mixing what I need myself. Much better color, adhesion, etc. and I KNOW their safety information because I made them myself from cosmetic grade, approved true pigments.

Long b4 I discovered MAC I was obsessed with True Colors. Kinda ironic I steered clear of MAC cuz I thought that they were more expensive when in actuality MAC is cheaper. $12 of a sample sized pot so maybe 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of product compared to what MAC Pigment @ $19 & 4x's as much....

I got some Twisted Fayte pigments recently and I absolutely love them. The texture is uniformly fine, no chunky bits like some of the MAC ones... They are so soft that touching your fingertip to them in the top leaves a fingerprint. Great colour payoff too, and not too expensive

MUF's Star Powders are the only thing I can compare to MAC's pigments!!
Beautiful colours, great colour payoff and they also last all day!

Hi,

I have tried several mineral pigments, PL, FYRINNAE etc. - from COASTAL SCENTS I have some pure micas. The colors are wonderful and also the sparcles, but the teexture of MAC cosmetics is definitaly unique.

I've gone nuts on this website lately, ordering samples, then I go back and get the full-size and more samples.

In the "ultimate liners," I think the section is called, I'm hooked on the Rockstar and Wild Thing shades for lining and smudging, and using to smudge in the crease. I've gotten a few of those, and then in the regular eye shadow pages, 1 & 2, I've gotten numerous of those that I really like. There's all sorts of mattes, satins, frosts, duochrome types, you've just got to look for yourself. The pictures are all very true and clear to the shades. You can use them wet or dry.

She also ships right away so you get it fast. I've had great luck with all my orders anyway.

I'm another girl that loves MUFE star powders. I'm just starting to get into them and currently i've only 4 of them, but the pigmentation is amazing. (downside is that, it can be a tad tough to remove at the end of the day ...especially the neon fuschia pink that i have)

Putting in another vote for Splash, because I just tried some of my cousin's today and it stayed on all day. I hadn't even realised she'd started using Splash instead of MAC pigments with her MAC e/s until I asked yesterday, and she's been using them for months! Oops.

 

[Blush]

Also Bourjois makes them, but I don't know if this brand is available in the US

 

[BadBadGirl]

I'm going to try those MUFE star powders and the Barry M ones also.

I tried Jacquard Pigments out of the blue to see whats the whole hype and let me tell you in my case it was not worth it. My eyes would burn, it almost felt as if I was putting onions in my eyes. they don't blend well.

Here are some links I have gathered from pigments to minerals cosmetics. I know we don't always have the luxury to spend 20$ on an eyeliner. Here are the links guys.

H.I.P pigment are okay I have tried one of them. Not as good as Mac or MUFE. True Colors are nice, and Emani has some nice ones.

 

[cynpat2000]

Bourjouis makes a pigment type of product as well, I hated it though, it has no staying power.

Fyrinnae is pretty good and really cheap.

 

[Dreamergirl3]

Nixie Cosmetics has something like that

Yeeep, I agree to that. I tried HIP's "gold" pigment and it wasn't too bad.

Inglot have some nice pigments.
Heres a swatch of the 3 I have, with flash. I couldnt get a decent no-flash pic because its too dark out. The colours are much more intense and slightly deeper than pictured.

Anyway, the colours L-R are no#43 #66 #58
