I
have a small collection of pigments that I own because I’ve never been too
interested in them. I find them to be very messy when opening, since most pigments that I’ve tried have no sifters and if they do have sifters
you get very little product for what you pay for. They also have a lot of fall
out if not used wet and sometimes I just don’t want a very dramatic shimmery
look. The whole idea of pigments just seemed like too much work for me but I
have been trying a few of them out just to see what they’re about and I’m very
happy I did. I’m so excited about MAC’s pigments in Melon and Tan. If I had to
pick a favorite it would have to be Tan but I just can’t seem to stop loving
them both equally.
As you can see
from the photos, pigments and shadows are two different types of products.
They aren’t pressed like a regular shadow so they need to be applied more
carefully so not to have too much fall out. If not applied wet it is best that
you apply it to your skin with a pressing motion as opposed to a sweeping across your eye as
you would do with a pressed eyeshadow. Pigments
are more pigmented and last longer on the skin. They tend to be a lot of
shimmer factor to them than most shadows but there are matte pigments as well. The
best part about pigments and especially MAC ones is that unless you knock it
over or drop it they last FOREVER!!!!
Melon pigments swatches dry and wet
Melon pigment is a peach gold toned pigment with lots of shimmer. I love using this pigment in the spring. I like applying it wet with different shades of brown to compliment the pigment. It has a lot more yellow gold flecks in it the the Tan pigment does. Sometimes even applying this shadow on top of another right in the center of the lid can give any look the pop it needs for that wow factor to the eye look.

Tan pigment is a shimmery tan rose gold shadow. It has more of a pink undertone and definitely reminds me of the shadows from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette but has so much more color. I didn't know what I was missing until I purchased this pigment. I don't know what it is but I am obsessed with everything rose gold. From makeup, jewelry, to even my choice in makeup brushes I just love rode gold things and this pigment is a testament to that fact. It looks beautiful against my dark skin and is so appropriate for spring.
These products get a grade of A+ and is a Gotta Have It. As you can see from the swatches the pigments are beautiful when applied dry but when applied wet they have a foiling effect that amplifies the pigmentation and just makes the color shine. To sum it up I do believe that these products are worth having no matter who you are. They are beautiful colors and are must have MAC pigments in my collection. These product can be purchased for $21.00 on my Luvocracy page.
