layla we all know and love your weirdness
most pigments are rather sheer -- it's when you wet, set or use any primer that they develop into stronger colours. But, I disagree with this video and found the piggies nicely pigmented -- remember these are vivid bright colours and if they were matte or dense, it would be really only for pros to handle. As much as I dislike sheerness in paint pots I do like some sheerness in piggies - that way they can be used plain or as overlays on other products.
the ccbs can and have been used by MUAs on face, lips and even eyes-- I use mine all the time anywhere.
