Easiest Way to Use a Pigment as Blush

[Navessa]

I have a few pigments that I would love to try as blushes. What is the easiest way to apply them?

Thanks.

I use a fluffy brush and just touch the lid with it and go from there.

I actually do it with my fingers and try to blend as much as possible ...

I scoop out a bit of pigment, and mix it with a bit of loose powder in a small container (I use a clean lid of one of those cans of cake frosting usually). Then I swirl my 129 brush in the lid and apply as i would any blush. IME, adding the bit of powder makes it easier to blend the pigment on my face.

i was wondering this, too, since i just got my first full sized pigments.

also should you keep the plastic thing inside the lid or throw it out?

Keep it in there...helps prevent spillage...

I dip my 224 brush into the pigment jar and just blend into my hightlight area, or you can use brush #187, or #109 for more then just a highlighting effect. Good Luck...

Definitely keep the plastic insert in the lid... Also, I use my pigments on my cheeks with my MAC 168 and I love it! Tan pigment on my cheeks is my fave blush of all time!

i use my 187. As the lil plastic insert thingy-majig usually has a dusting of pigment, i swipe the 187 over it and find thats just enough
