One of the artists told me that some are paint, some are pigments. When you go up close you can tell that some just have a thin layer of paint on the inside to look like it's full, and then some are actually full of powder. It's pretty cool looking.
lol I have always wondered that because even in the closeups they look like colored powder, not necessarily pigments because they can be a lil chunkier. It sure does look pretty though.
