MAC Pigments

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? Especially since I am a huge fan of Barry M. Well quite simply, MAC Pigments are better in almost every way (the only way they are not better is ...  Read the complete review

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!! I really love using them as eye liners too, you can blend them into one another so for example, you could have gold from the ...  Read the complete review

It is products like this that really demonstrate why MAC has achieved the popularity it has within the makeup industry. I bought a pot of champagne coloured pigment for my wedding, to use as a base colour, and was still using it 12 months later. At £15 a pot it is not cheap but my goodness it was worth every penny! As I told my husband, it cost £15, or just over £1 a month if you consider how much use I got out of it. How can you argue with figures like that? It will be slightly cheaper now due to the VAT reduction. I bought it from House of Fraser in the cosmetics hall. MAC products are difficult to get hold of instore in our area but they are stocked in ...  Read the complete review

When writing my top 10 beauty products recently, I was struggling towards the end and chose MAC pigments because they are such a versatile and high-quality product. Before I tried them out, I was under the impression that pigments were really just a way for the big dogs at MAC to make a quick buck, because they are pretty expensive. Now I understand a little better, I really think they're quite reasonable. In short, pigments are simply a loose powder which is rich in colour and can be used as more than just an eyeshadow. A little (and I mean VERY little) goes a long way, and expensive as they may seem, pick the right shade and you will get a lot of ...  Read the complete review

Pigments are one of MAC's most popular product. Available in a huge range of colours, textures and finishes they are a loose 'powder' suitable for a variety of uses. Firstly at £15.00 they are great value, the container is huge and will last the average user a VERY long time. I almost wish MAC made these in a smaller size, since I can never imagine myself ever using one of these up! I use them primarily as eyeshadows, although some shades make great blushes, or mix them with a clear gloss and they make lovely lip colours. I also mix with MAC's Mixing Mediums to make unique shades of 'liquid eyeliners.' They contain special binding ...  Read the complete review
