Pigment Ratings
1 – 5
I rated these on colors I like and use a lot and how well it was to use and tried to add comments to each and every one of them
Mac NW 20 during the summer
And NW 15 during the winter
Accent Red – (****) wonderful color but very close to ruby red so if you didn’t pick it up when it came out just buy the other, the only thing different is the reflect colors within it
Acid Orange - (*****) this is my fav. Orange ever, seriously! If you wear orange at all this is a must have for you!!! I love wearing this with gold, or golden lemon and bright coral for a rainbowish summer look!
Aire-de-blu – (****) this is a wonderful color that just came out and has a nice blue and silver shine though at times seems to have a little bit too much silver in it for my taste
All Girl – (*** 1/2) this is a pretty color but not worth the price or the hype that comes with it, however I don’t know of any color that is close to it so it gets a higher rating
Apricot Pink _ (****) this is a gorgeous pink plum color that looks wonderful as an eye shadow, eyeliner or lipglass (mix it with mac’s clear lipglass)
Auburn – (***) this is a deep burnt red/brown color I wouldn’t suggest picking it up unless you are just nuts like me and just want to collect them all, I’ve only used this a small handful of times
Azreal Blue – (**) this is a ok color but kinda way to silvery if you are looking for a better light blue color I would go with Aire-de-blu in stead it would also be easier to find at the moment
Basic Red – (** 1/2) this is a nice eye safe red/orange and is great if you are looking to layer another red over it, but by its self it tend to show a bit to orange on my skin
Black – (*****) this is great as an eyeliner a bit better then black black if you can find it, it just shows though a little bit more deep
Black Black - (*****) this is great as eyeliner
Blue (RR Blue) – (****) this is a truly gorgeous blue and I have found nothing close to it, I’ve only used it a handful of times but I’m not really a blue girl, but when I have I totally love it more then anything
Blue Brown – (*****) this is one of the best colors ever, I would give it more then 5 stars if I could. It’s a great color and if you can make it work on your skintone I would say go pick it up
Blue Storm – (***) if you skipped over this color go pick it up as naval blue from the pro store they are so close on the skin at times I wonder why I picked up both (only bought this so I could truly have the full collection I’m a bit odd what can I say)
Brass – (****) this is a nice color worth the search and if you can pick it up I would however if it’s a toss up between this and bronze, go with bronze
Bright Coral – (****) this is a great pink color and I believe its d/c if you can find it anywhere I would pick it up
Bright Fuchsia – (*****) again a great color that thankful mac still carries if you have the money pick it up and keep it forever cause its a pretty color
Bronze – (*****) this is my fav pigment ever seriously if you can get your hands on it I would say buy as much as you can, its beautiful color
Burnt Burgundy – (**) I’m having a very hard time blending and working with this color and making it so it doesn’t look like I have black eye
Chartreuse – (*****) this is a wonderful my favorite green and I would totally suggest picking it up if you can
Chocolate Brown – (****) nice rich chocolate brown the name says it call, this has nice brown and gold undertones and looks great as eyeliner or eye shadow
Clear Sky Blue – (****) I picked this up just because and I have used it 3 times its quite easy to work with for a matte, if you like blues this is a go to color
Coco – (****) this is a nice color when working with browns, if you can find it I would highly suggest picking it up
Coco Beach –(***) this is a pretty color, with copper undertones the same brown tone that is in chocolate brown.
Cool Pink – (**) this is a light matte pink and a very nice one to, I don’t tend to pick it up much without its counterpart in a paint stick and have used it on top of lipstick to lighten the color and added depth to some of them
Copper – (*****) must buy it if you can find it this is a wonderful gorgeous color
Copper (metal) – (***) this is a nice metal pigment and for a metal I like it, but compared to the frost version this comes in as a low second
Copperclast – (*****) I love, love, love this pigment what can I say its got a lot of colors in it depending upon what you use as a base
Copper Sparkle – (*****) I totally love this pigment I want to call it a glitter almost because its texture is so different, once you get working with this one down, rose and steel blue are the same
Cornflower – (****) this is a very nice duo chrome color that I hardly get the chance to use but I love it all the same, and I want to say its once of a kind but the lighter version of it seems to be soft wash gray I believe if you want the colors toned down a bit.
Dark Soul – (***) the only thing I’ve ever been able to use this for is eyeliner and really it looks the same as black tied when applied that way, its very pretty in the jar but kinda a let down out side of it, but if you cant go to the pro store to get black black get this instead
Dazzleray – (*****) I love this honey color its one of the few I really do love, love, love ok maybe more then a few but its beautiful and we don’t have anything else like it at the moment so go out and buy it if you can cause dude its so worth it
Deckchair – (*****) this is a really nice color kinda reminds me of melon but in a different peachier/ pinkish way
Deep Blue Green – (***) I’ve never used this pigment as anything but an eyeliner but I like playing with it on my hand and it’s a very nice color that is easy to work with and in the right light it can pass for forest green if you are trying to find that one
Deep Brown – (****) is nice as an eyeliner and eyeshadow but a little bit hard to work with at first but like all matte you get used to it and just have to remember to apply a lot of base before hand and know not to expect to go out with it on the first time using it.
Deep Purple – (***) again this is one of those I’ve only used for eyeliner but it’s a nice color to have and it’s very pretty too
Dusty Coral – (*****) this is a wonderful matte that works great as an eyeshadow as well as a blush I’m not sure about as a lipglass because I’ve never tried it
Electric Coral – (*****) this is a very good pigment and one of the bright ones that mac makes and if you like “loud” colors well then look no more it along with bright fuchsia
