eek I'll be the party pooper and say I'm glad I didn't get a full size teal--I got a sample off 1165Cheryl on here. More than enough for me, considering how it seems to freaking stick to my shadows, even after I use makeup remover to take off my makeup then wash my face. -sorry just my 2c-
-Jardin Aires (I actually use this more than Vanilla, but honestly either are great!)
-Melon--such a NICE colour!
-Green Brown (Pro) love it! Along the same kind of lines as Sunpepper, just diff tones. I love it!
-Tan
-Golden Olive

But there are SO many ones coming down the line this summer. what with colour forms AND that one later...my memory escapes me. Thats why I'm holding off buying any perm pigments til I get all I want this summer.

Good luck, it can be a hard decision to make!

On colours you think you are more iffy on, I definitely suggest getting samples.

PIGS: where do I start?

I don't own any pigs yet, I just wanna buy some but have no clue where to start, I mean: which colors?????
There's a huge list!
Is there any site with all the colors available with a demonstration pic?

Or an easier way: which are the best pigs??

thanks!!

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

Unfortunately all my faves are LE. Ones I do like are... Vanilla, Naked, Chocolate Brown, Melon, Teal & Fuchsia

Fav LE... Coco Beach, Coco, All Girl, Quitely & Softwash

When I started getting into the piggies, I felt so overwhelmed. My first one was Fuchsia and loved it. I am now converted and have so many FS jars. It will become an addiction.

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

There are way too many good piggie choices to make...lol...! Like melliquor said it will become an addiction

I love mine, a lot of my faves are LE as well, but there are plenty of reg colours I couldnt do without, Vanilla, Golden Olive, Melon, Rose and Chocolate Brown are pretty much my reg staples and the ones I reach for most frequently.
Of my LEs I adore Your Ladyship, Sweet Sienna, Soft Washed, Subtle & Coco. In the old Dcds my absolute favourite is Green frost, followed by Silver and Blue. If you can get your hands on some samples I'd recommend doing that first since you may never end up using a full sized piggie completely and it gives you a great way to try before you buy. Otherwise head for your nearest pro store to check them all out

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

Like panda said.. I would just go to the pro store and or the site and get a list of colors from there as they have some great colors that aren't that hard to get a hold of.

I guess I'm lucky in that my fav. color is chartreuse I love most all of my pro color pigments.

Also you picked a great time to start getting into pigments, now with two major collections releasing a lot of them, as well as a re promoting some old le colors most people like.

as most mac stores will ship back the le, after a while when it doesn't sell. a good place to look for them is on specktra, some sellers will have samples as well as full sized jars in the swap bin. another place I would look at is your local cco, they might have some of the older pigments.

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

Thank you girls, I'll take some look at those colors!!!
I can see piggies are an addiction, and probably I'll be!
Lol!!

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

I think you should go for colors you think you'd like... that's what I did when I started. I picked up Melon and Coco Beach on a whim, and when I knew I liked them, I ordered Pink Opal, Golden Olive, and Violet. You might also want to think about what other shadow colors you own, and what would work well with them. I love combining e/s and pigments. Definitely read reviews and look at FOTDs too. That always helps me!!

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

I really like tan. It's kinda boring, I know, but I can wear it anytime and it always looks good!

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

After awhile most pigments WILL make their way to a CCO so that is a good way to get started. That's how I got my personal favourite, Helium. Vanilla is a very popular one, I much prefer Jardin Aires though (they both are great). Violet is a really nice one too. I don't have a lot of perm ones, only two-all the rest are LE. Mutiny (from Naughty Nauticals) is a great one to get because it's a very wearable, easy to work with colour. The Lark About is nice too. My look today is Crystal Avalanche from lash to brow with Lark About in the crease and Helium on top lash line and it really pops.

Re: PIGS: where do I start?

I would definitely get samples of some colours you won't use a lot of. 1165Cheryl on here is GREAT!

My faves are: Your Ladyship (LE sadly and I can't find a whole jar

)
Deckchair (also LE)
Jardin Aires - LE but still available
Emerald Green
Shimmertime

I'm loving Mutiny, Chartreuse and Golden Lemon for bright colour too. Piggies definitely become an addiction - I have quite the sample collection going on

 

[Susanne]

Try Kitschmas, Revved-Up, Chartreuse, Emerald Green or Jardin Aires.

[HOTasFCUK]

You have to try Sunnydaze, Subtle, & Mauvement! The best smokey combo ever!!!!

I also love Coco (very close to Sunnydaze) & Softwashed (asia exclusive). You also gotta check out Reflects Antique Gold......there are no words to describe it!

Definitley get Vanilla! I got a bunch of samples when ebay will still selling them and thats the only one so far that i've used up AND went and bought the full size. you can use it everywhere. i cannot say enough about it. great color. I also really like blue brown. It's a really interesting color and i use it quite a bit. I think its totally underrated ;] Good luck deciding though!
