I did a search for pigment samples but couldn't come up with an answer to my question. How do I go about getting samples of pigments. I'm intersted in getting some but I know I will never use an entire jar of most of them. When making a purchase do I just ask for samples? Are they free like at Sephora or do they charge for them? Also can I get them at a Macy's or Nordstrom counter or only at a freestanding store? Thanks in advance for all your help!

You can ask for a sample or two when you're at the MAC counter/store and they should be free. However, some locations have a policy of not giving out pigment or glitter samples. You can also purchase pigment samples from some sellers in the Clearance Bin on this site, and then you can have more choices as it is possible to find samples of past LE or discontinued pigments, too.

I use thebodyneeds2.com and have never had a problem. She's inexpensive and gives generous samples. Most of my pigment samples, though, I get at my Macy's counter. Whenever I buy something, I ask if I can have a sample of the pigments and have never been told no.

I seen them at makeupgeek aswell but i think 2.50 to 4.00 each plus s&h is too expensive for 1/4 tsp of pigment sample,maybe im wrong but i measured out 1/4 tsp from a pigment i have an theres no way that would go up to the 30 uses she says it would lol.I seen on thebodyneeds2.com on there the samples are same size 1/4 tsp for 1.75 though some are 1/8 tsp for 1.75 aswell. I really want some pigment samples though so ill probably go for makeupgeeks even though there more expensive you can trust her site and thebodyneeds2 ive never heard of really plus makeupgeek is more professional,she has a big website with a forum and a store and she does tutorials so she wouldnt be hard to find or contact if i had issuies or was ripped off,didnt get my product or something like that.I unfortunatly dont have a MAC store near me

I've bougth from thebodyneeds2.com its very reliable but the shipping is SO expensive, I mean the samples are so cheap but they charge you in the range of money you expend not in the weight of the package and that really sucks, I paid like 80 bucks (samples+shipping) for 24 samples shipped to Mexico, so I tell you they're great but the shipping prices sucks!
