Which purple pigment should I choose?

[ThePowderPuff]

I am looking for a deep true purple pigment with a good amount of glitter in it. Not so much pearl as glitter if you know what I mean. I have violet but it just doesn't do it for me. I want a deep sparkling shade. If I'm making any sense

grape! Grape is one of my favorite pigments. Deep purple is too shimmery imo. Push the edge is another option? I have a long list of purple pigments, but I find myself reaching for Grape the most. HTH!

I like Entremauve, but that was LE. Most of the glitter is subtle and will blend away though... the closest dupe for Entremauve is Push the Edge I've heard.

You may want to look at the purple crushed metal pigment from the upcoming Spring Colour Collection. I know it's not coming until February but the colours look really nice.

Will Push the edge, Grape or Entremauve have the most glitter?

i don't think you can find entremauve in stores anymore. you may be able to find push the edge. grape is available in pro stores. i think push the edge has more glitter but its got a little bit of a blue-ish tone to it..not like duo-chrome but grape is more of a true purple. i'm sure you can find samples from people on specktra. i have samples of push the edge in my sale thread actually! pm me if you're interested.

Grape is almost an exact dupe of Entremauve (I have both). Otherwise, Deep Purple is gorgeous. It's a high-frost, super shimmery deep purple, and it's one of my faves.

^That's good to know. I was interested in Grape for a while, but I'll save my money.

Entremauve has just a tiny bit more glitter when you look at it in the jar but honestly all 3 looks pretty much identical on.

All 3 pigments in question from the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection thread:

Personally I find Deep Purple to be more of a purple-ish brown than actually purple.

I love deep purple pigment

 

[bellaboomboom]

I HATE my grape pigment. I am pretty sure I got it in a recent holiday set. I just find it so hard to use, and as someone else said, it makes me look like I got punched in the eye.

Has anyone mixed grape with another pigment to get a great color? Any suggestions?

Are you specifically looking for MAC pigments?

 

[martiangurll]

I'd say push the edge, but if you are not firm on it being a MAC pigment, check out Fyrianne pigments (I am not affiliated or in any way profit from recommending them) but they have great pigments and I am sure they have deep purple with glitter (they probably have about 5-8 to choose from in that range)

HTH
