INTRODUCTION After completing a cosmetic make up degree in November, I have learned how to appreciate make up and how to apply it correctly to give immaculate and intense results. Before undertaking the diploma I would buy run of the mill brands as I didn't fully understand the need for a good make up, No I know that the key to perfect make up applications is the use of good quality products and of course the most important thing to have is make up application brushes, as your fingers just don't cut it.

One product that is definitely worthy of their cult status, and perhaps even of their hefty price tag. If you have ever watched a make up tutorial on youtube, or admired the make up on a fashion shoot shown on television, or simply seen a photograph with stunning make up then the chances are that you have seen the work of MAC Pigments. MAC Pigments are loose powders, coming in highly pigmented colours. Think along the lines of Barry M Dazzle Dusts and the like, only about a billion times better. Better how you say?

MAC pigments are rapidly becoming a must have essential in my make up bag!! They come in a huge array of colours, are so versatile, and last for AGES!! You can use them as eye shadow, glitter, eye liner, and there are even bases to make them into lip gloss!! The colours really are gorgeous, they last for ages, and stay on really well, I don't seem to have a problem with migration either, which I have with other products before...nothing worse than going on a big night out, going to the loo and having smudged eye shadow everywhere!!
