Would like to try pigments

[Honor]

Hi,

I would love to try one or two (or three...) pigments, but I am not sure about the possible colours.

I am not the youngest (39) and at the moment I wear MU only at work. I can't go out because I have two very small children.

Which colours would be nice for an "official" look?? Please nothing neon green or too pink or so.

Thanks
Honor

i dont like pigments, but i bought pink opal and its a nice shade.. kinda sheer like a wash of color.

tan pigment is nice. it's shimmery, but it's a nice neutral. also, vanilla pigment seems to be a favorite for highlighting. both colors are pretty versatile, in my opinion.

I have been wearing Vanilla pigment as a wash nearly everyday this past week. It really brightens up the eye area and makes me look polished but not overly made up.

Vanilla
Goldenaire
Chocolate

 

[bocagirl]

Tan
Golden Olive
Chocolate Brown
Goldenair
Provence
Violet is pretty also, but that's purple
Coco - definately

Melon

goldenaire

Fairylite, Vanilla, maybe Lovely Lily as a wash

coco, deckchair are the only pigments I have and you'd have to get them on ebay as they were LE. I love them both.

melon - although some find it to be overrated, I got a sample of it with my christmas gift stuff from my mom and I love it

i work in an office and i often use tan, deckchair/goldenaire, coco, coco beach, dark soul, melon, vanilla and white gold with my shadows.

Just a little update: I swapped for Lovely Lily an dGoldenaire and I love them both. I can't understand why I didn't use pigments before.... I definetely need more

Vanilla, Goldenaire, Tan

you should check out the swatch forum - theres a section dedicated to pigments. you can see how they come out on the skin.. which one's are matte, which are frosty and which are a lil too sparkly ya know? anyways if your unsure about buying an entire pigment you coudl go to a store and ask for samples... they shoudl give them to you unless you get a nasty MA. or you coudl check on ebay. i just bought 10 samples on ebay

If you would like to try something different like...green, I would recommend Golden Olive. It's beautiful and definitely NOT neon. Vanilla is nice for highlighting and brow bones too. Pink Opal is similar to Vanilla, but has subtle light pink pearl when it reflects lights. Really pretty.
