electric cool eye shadow - Page 38

What is this PRESSED PIGMENTS collection I am just now hearing about? Is there a discussion link for it? How do I not know more about it????? I am Karayzay for pigments and need to be directed directly towards more information please!!!

They are part of the face & body collection. They are skin toned colours with a pearl finish.

I received my shadows today and I am IN LOVE with the formula! They were a little different to what I expected but I can see why people like to poke and prod them. My Brilliantly Lit was dislodged from the pan but was simple to push back in and squish around.  I was super impressed with Infra-violet with the amazing colour payoff, it has definitely become my favourite straight away. These are now in Australia for $35 each

 

I picked up Brilliantly Lit, Fashion Circuit and Infra-violet

 

Thank you for clearing that up...I can relax now. I thought there was going to be a collection of pressed pigments for EYES. Def less excited about skin tones, but I'm sure I'll rally and find a way to fall in love with these as well

So far I tried Electoplate and Brilliantly Lit.  I really liked the teensy teeny microglitters.  No Fall Out.  These creased on me, even with a Paint as a base, but that was to be expected.  Brilliantly Lit wasn't as vibrant in vivo as in the pot, but maybe I needed to cake on more layers.  The problem with that strategy is the more layers, the more creasing for this crinkly, wrinkled haggly eyelid.  But they are worth it because these are shimmery glitter colors that don't migrate and are subtle.  I don't look like an old bat trying to rock the tweener glitter make up.  Also, these didn't fade for me, they were going strong a lot longer than I thought based on the performance of other creamy e/s products from MAC in the past (I am looking at you, Metal X)

 

I am considering going back for Fashion Circuit.

 

I layered Silvergull over Electroplate and used Industrial pearlglide--loved this combo.  I am wanting to try Chrome Yellow over Brilliant Lit next.

Try them without a paint pot base. Somehow p/ps are just awful under these - makes them crumble up and sort of smush around when you try to apply them! 

 

They will smooth out your lid texture just applied by themselves on their own, and won't crease that way either. I've also used them over prep & prime vibrancy eye and they're fine that way too.

still not pressed to buy any of these...

i only got one, Brilliantly Lit, i like it but didnt feel like getting all the other ones.

I am on day 2 of using these and i am in LOVE!!!!!

 

I have bene using just my Lime Crime primer and no base and had no creasing, super easy to blend and great colour pay off. Im getting 8+ hrs wear easy. I also love using my 242 with them and the putty like formula being left with imprints when I go for colour. Really glad I got these, its a nice change in my collection. Almost makes me want to invest in more but I really have enough eyeshadows to last a lifetime!

I love love love Superwatt! Just got it and used it for the first time today, it's sooo pretty!

It's the only one I bought and it's beautiful!

I also only bought Superwatt! It's the one I wanted the most, I actually wanted a few more but they're so pricey!

I really wanted Fashion Circuit but I left it too late... Oh well! Superwatt also makes a really gorgeous base for other e/s :D

 

Received my Superwatt as well today, along with Fashion Circuit and Highly Charged

They're very nice indeed, LOVE their texture 

Enjoy yours :)

I wanted pretty much half the collection but I didn't have the money lol. Fashion Circuit was also on my list, such a gorgeous teal! But I'm really happy with Superwatt.

I received mine a few days ago, funny that your package took longer! How'd they arrive? Mine was 'shrunken' lol, I had to push it back into place. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do!

I love these shadows I first ordered infra violet because I wanted a bright pinky looking color not knowing what to expect it came a little shrunken called Nordstroms they told me to squish it back lol used it and I love it went to the store bought another infra violet and also love power, blacklit and pure flash!

 

The only shadow that moved around a little bit was Superwatt, needed to push it back into place with a tissue. My other two came completely intact :)

I was really concerned tho about my Ruffian lipsticks. With this kinda weather i was really afraid they would melt, but they were intact as well, luckily

Really happy with my new goodies, can't wait to play with them

I was also concerned about my lippies, thank god they didn't melt! I haven't tried them out yet though.

Just tried Love Power and DH loves it.  Really pretty cotton candy pink with silver micro glitters.  I tried without the paintpot underneath and it lasted all day.  (Put some powder on top to set it)  Team pink members should seriously consider giving it a whirl.

Here I thought Coil was going to be my favorite from this collection, but my Pure Flash is developing the biggest dip in it! I still love Coil,, but have been doing lots of dramatic lippie looks lately so PF seems to be my go to!

I was really excited for a minute when I saw the Glamour Daze collection because I thought that those ES's were EC shadows until I zoomed in...I am equally excited though for the ED shadows because I haven't tried any yet.

I only bought one and it was Highly Charged...I love the texture and the color.  I really hope these are repromoted at some point.

Yesterday I tried Highly Charged as a base under Starless Night pigment.  The pigment on its own looks very black, but Highly Charged brings out the purple and makes the pigment so much more useful

I am so obsessed with these!! I love how pigmented they are and no creasing! They work so well as a base and as a shadow... Would love some more of these in bright colours

I would predict you would like these bright colors. 

 

Your swatches emboldened me to go back and get Fashion Circuit!  I ended up with the coral, violet, acid green, bright green, black, pink, taupe and silver ones. 

I want more of these! Please Mac release some new colors in a future collection!

Of every makeup product I have bought this year, there are three products I am using the death out of, and these are one of those products I have been using day after day because they are so easy to slap on! I use Coil the most, but wore Elctroplate this week and thought, "why have I been neglecting this gorgeous color?"

The other two products were from the HC collection...Pleasureseeker and Light Year. I can not believe that I have nearly gone through an entire tube of PS...It would usually take me forever because I am not good at reapplying and because I switch around so much. Good thing I got a bu!

Me, too! Funny how I wasn't remotely interested in them when I first saw them, and now they are a "I can't live without em" kinda product!

Have you tried Starless Night with a dampened brush? Sooooo pretty. I found that made the purple come out more. And the colored shimmers within the pigment came out more as well.

 

Just saw SN pigment at my CCO today.  May have to pick that up next time I go.

Get it. Used dampened it becomes a dark inky purple. I definitely need to start showing it some love.
