MAC Pigments that you LOVE - Page 11

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Well I have to say that for the most part, I LOVE all the pigments I have but I'll cut it down.

Helium: BEST PIGMENT EVER. So it's crap as far as payoff goes on the eye. But it is so versatile. I love the red duochrome which makes it a perfect blush for someone like me. It makes an amazing highlight for the eyes, and mixed with Pink Pearl does well anywhere.

Jardin Aires: So versatile. This is for me what Vanilla is for many other people-it's a great neutral without screaming neutral. Mix it with Pink Pearl, Helium, or anything.

Mutiny: I love my blues and this is such a nice bright sky blue. The payoff on this is blissful, and you could feasibly use this over a Paint as a shadow.

Aire-de-Blu: This is not a beginners pigment. There isn't a ton of payoff with it; it is very light. It also is not as frosty as say, Jardin Aires. It's a different sort of texture in that it balls up a lot more and it's not flaky like say, Jardin Aires. This is amazing for doing soft, ethereal looks. I can see why it came out with Danse as the shadows in the collection were softer and this is very soft. Very light true blue with silver sparkle.

Golden Lemon: This is love. Frosty golden yellow...need I say more? I use it whenever I do a tropical-inspired look, and it's not overtly yellow so I can blend it out as a brow highlight.

Violet: It looks dark in the jar but it is so beautiful. It is what I go to when I want something simple-a light purple or a white shadow on the lid and this in the crease. Works every time.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I love all my pigments, really i do, i have collected about 60+ over the years and the only colors i dislike in pigments are all the blues.

I guess ill choose the ones i use often, im very very very warm toned, golds and taupes match me.

Your ladyship - Gorgeous creamy color, champagne with golden specs, great for highlighting and lid color. If i had to keep one pigment from my whole collection it would be this one.

Coco - Gorgeous taupe color, i can see myself wearing this when im 70 years old.

Gold(metal) - As a girl on MUA described it, a pigment that turns into liquid gold when wet!?! gorgeous..!

Violet - Best vibrant purple around

Pink Bronze - Golden pink color, the only pink i ever wear

Rose Gold - It reminds me of shiny pennies, to me it looks like a darker version of woodwinked.

..they are all really great, many L/E pigments are getting extremely hard to find 1 year ago you could find coco, subtle, sunnydaze, coco beach, entremauve, maroon on ebay all the time, now not so much, and when i see them they go for $60 dollars a jar, if your lucky you can find sellers here who sell off their pigment collection, but you pretty much have to be online the moment they post it because the top pigments go out fast.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I am in LOVE with Mauvement =) .... I'm already looking for back ups and I've only used it once =) Vanilla is also a Fave

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I guess you probably know that Mauvement is to be re-released with the Overrich collection in August.
I, too, love it and would buy more, except that I already have two full-sizers.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

im in love with steel blue its my fave

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Okay my two new loves? Fuschia and Royal Flush. Royal Flush is nice because it's not exactly a maroon but it's not pure red either, and Fuschia is so versatile. I can mix it for a cheek colour, or I can use it with my pink shadows.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

subtle and melon

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Frost-perfect highlighter
Rose-I always get asked what I'm wearing when I wear this, and it looks great when mixed with lip gloss as a lip color!
Blue Brown-this is one color I didn't think I'd like, and it is one of my tops. I think it is sooooo beautiful on, I love the how the color changes from different angles.
Pink Bronze-OMG-looooove this one. I wear it way too much, it just looks so great with my fair complexion. I can't get enough of it.
Charteuse-Just got it, and all I can say is...WOW! I love yellows/greens, especially bright ones, and this one is perfect. I love how perfectly shimmery it is.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I have 2 pink ones that I really love:

Apricot pink(MAC) is the most gorgeousest pink lip color ever! I LOVE IT
Shell pink (Missha) is a gorgeous pink/gold/peachy pink. Applied wet is like OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh...

Blue Brown makes awesome eyeliner, and lid color.

I really want Dark Soul, Teal and Melon tho

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Coco, Mutiny, Golden Olive and Silver for sure!

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Old Gold is my absolute favorite. What a weird, unique, beautiful color. Melon comes in at a close second; I love orangey colors on my blue eyes, and this one has pink and gold in it that really goes nicely with my hair.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I heart Green Brown & Mutiny.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I am in love with Sweet Sienna!!!

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Rose...its a serious multitasker. Works on eyes, cheeks, AND lips. Naked is another love of mine.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

sweet sienna is my favourite but i also love bright fushia

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I'm not really good with working with pigments but I do love vanilla, fairylight, and blue brown.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

i find pigments easier to work with than shadows - they seem to blend easier for me.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Antique gold....Its amazing and suits anyone!

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I just got clear sky blue and omg I LOVE it. The color is SO pretty. I just need to get used to working with it now. *lol* It's my first matte pigment.....

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

ok I'm such an idiot! I got rid of my MELON pigment cuz at first I didn't know how to use it and plus I had ton of eyeshadows! And now I want it back! LOL

At the moment I'm using Rushmetal! it's bold but great on indian complexion tone! Rushmetal with either Embark and Ricepaper as highlight or Rushmetal and Black Tied!

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I adore Teatime even more than my beloved Teal !

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I like many but my absolute favorites are Goldenaire and Sweet Sienna. Lovely Lily is up there, too.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Sweet SIenna wet is the hottest thing i have ever seen in my life!
I also love Coco, Your Ladyship, Deckchair, Naked and Blonde's Gold

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

I love them all. Some more than others. Pigments are just so incredibly amazing and have so many uses... Although for me, mostly, they are really badass eyeshadows.

I also love how they are so concentrated... YOu can buy a huge pot and it lasts forever. I have a bunch of samples I got from a friend that I use all the time and I barely made a dent in them....

My favourite EVER is:

Old Gold

This colour is SO AMAZING. I love how from across the room, it looks so neutral and subtle. Up close - bam. It's so shimmery. Best of both worlds. Appropriate for day and night. And so incredibly unusual.

Others:

Any of the metal pigments (I really wish these came out with afull line, all different colours)
Emerald green (This colour is such a proper green-green. I love green so much.)
Green olive
Jardin aires (Some people use vanilla for everything... I use Jardin aires)
Blue brown (I seldom wear this as eyeshadow, but I wear it all the time as a lower eyeliner)
Lark About (sooo pretty)

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

My favourite pigment everr is grape and then Vanilla. Grape is gorgeous I wear it all the time.

I use Vanilla as a highlight, I dont really like it anywere else.

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

hey , im looking for a nice pigment that I can use everyday.. It doesnt have to be brown though Im a nc42 by the way if that helps

re: MAC Pigments that you LOVE

Of course, a lot depends on your taste, eye color and the look you want to achieve.
Since you asked, I think these would be worth checking out:
Rose - especially pretty if you have brown hair and brown eyes.
Melon- See above.
Vanilla - works as a highlight for many different skin tones.
Mauvement - gorgeous rich taupe with very subtle plummy tones.
Coco - IF you can find it! My all-time favorite; I love this on just about everybody, BUT it's become almost impossible to find. Mauvement, which should be pretty readily available right now, is somewhat similar.

I think your best bet is to go to a MAC store or counter, and just play around until you find the right one for you.
It will be great fun, and totally worth the effort!
Hope this helps ...
