A little white frost mixed with Dark Soul makes a beautiful grey.

gold mode and revved up together made a really nice neutral! The rushmetal pigments are really nice I wish they were perm! Revved up in my opinion a lighter verson of rose and a lot less chunky.

If at all possible, please post some pics of the outcomes of these! I can't even imagine the dark soul, rose and vanilla combo!

1/2 Copperclast & 1/2 Softwash Grey (My favorite)

2/9 Azreal Blue, 2/9 Violet, 2/9 Blue Storm, 2/9 Softwash Grey, 1/9 Teal

2/5 Azreal Blue, 2/5 Golden Olive, and 1/5 Teal

1/2 Rushmetal & 1/2 Old Gold

1/2 Azreal Blue & 1/2 Sweet Sienna

1/2 Fuchsia & 1/2 Gold Stroke. If you add a little bit of Gold Dusk, it turns out to be a dupe of Cranberry. Well, at least the way I mixed it!

Try these combos:
1/2 cornflower + 1/2 all-girl

1/2 accent red + 1/2 mauvement

1/3 accent red + 1/3 mauvement + 1/3 grape

1/2 rebelrock blue + 1/2 gold dusk

These combos make some gorgeous colors!!

it's not like you don't get a lot of p/g in each jar in order to feel safe experimenting... this really is a great idea. I want some pics of some of these shades you've come up with...

We should start a pigment mixing thread, with pictures/FOTD's!!!

I read this thread and began mixing some of my Fyrinnae shadows together (not in a pot, but on my hand). I went crazy over how pretty some of the colors looked. My only problem is that the Fyrinnae shadows are only samples, and I was planning on pressing them. I don't know if I can press most of the shadow and then still leave some to mix. I am lost when it comes to deciding on pressing pigments/leaving them loose/mixing....

Agreed. I'm an NW45 and this is an awesome shade for my eyes and highlighting on my face...Thanks for posting this.

This mixture is very beautiful. If I keep going w/it, I may be able to duplicate NARS' Santorini es since it seemingly is no longer going to be available.

I wish these 2 threads were merged. I’m getting whip-lash going from one to the other when there’s a new post. There are very good pictures and swatches in this thread:

Mixing Electric Coral (pro pig) with Melon is gorgeous...I wear it with Coppering e/s and it looks unbelievable. I think *anything* mixed with Melon would be gorgeous, lol

EDIT: E.Coral is one of those pigments that doesn't press, so I'd be careful about that and just mix in a sample jar
