Thank u :) What glitter glue do you use? I've been using a manic panic one and sometimes just eyelash glue (if it's not the whole eyelid). The eyelash glue is a serious obstacle though if I don't get it completely coated with the glitter. I'm always open to better glue...
I use the Too Faced glitter glue, but I have heard amazing things about the Pixie Epoxy and I was actually leaning towards getting that one but the Too Faced one was just more convenient for me to get at the time. The Too Faced one works well, too, though.

Thank you!!! Where do you get Fyrinnae? I hear a lot of good things about that brand but I don't know where you get it. The other brand I'm not familiar with yet, so dangerous finding out about even MORE makeup brands lol
If you google Fyrinnae, I think her website is the first one to pop up. I haven't tried anything but the Pixie Epoxy, but I've heard nothing but great things about her shadows!

Yea they seem a little patchy but that could be her application that is throwing them off.
Both the set seems kinda meh the way pigment applies. MAC pigments are usually so much more amazing! I hope the bronze set isnt the same way or the entire collection will be a big easy skip for me!

I really really like this set. I only find Deep Drown blah but I'm generally not fond of matte pigments so that's not a surprise. I think I'm gonna get it!
I thought it was just me who felt the matte pigment looked a little blah.
Perhaps because when I think of pigments I think of shimmer haha

I don't own any matte pigments but I'm thinking a matte brown might be useful in many different ways. I might need it.

Someone posted a swatch of this pigment set before and the swatches looked way better than T's. The deep brown was a lot warmer and didn't look as powdery.

Hopefully it is just her application on these specific pigments.
Just lately her loose pigment photos haven't been at its finest.

What a beautiful pigment collection! I love them all! I am trying to grow my pigment collection. I don't have very many... maybe 6? As for pressed pigments, they are definitely quite different. I think a lot of people end up disappointed with them because they tend to not be opaque and are largely sparkle, but that's what makes them perfect for layering. I like to do my whole eye look, and then at the end for a little extra oomph, I dab some pressed pigment on top with my finger (usually just on the lid). It layers over other shadows and pigments really well without just covering up what is underneath. Sometimes I dab on a little glitter glue first because there can be a little glitter fallout throughout the day.
Thanks for the review on the pressed pigments. I have never used them before and was going to try one or two from this collection. I may just get the Victorian Plum...

Which shades do you recommend? Are you getting any from this collection? Thanks
