Eureka! How to Maximize Your Pigment Usage

Sunday, June 28, 2009

I have now found a way to use my pigments! At least the ones i brought with me.


Luckily, several of the pigments I own are relatively neutral or face friendly colors. Which means that I'm not limited to the eyes. Which means they have now become multifunctional, and I LOVE multifunctional products. The uses I have discovered (though not purely through my own thought process) are as follows:

Tan pigment --> I still use it for shadow, but I can also mix it with my moisturizer for a faint bronzy glow before I apply foundation. I can also do the same with my body lotion. And it adds a really subtle shimmer that looks great. I really love this.

Melon pigment -> This has now become a good summer cheekbone highlight for me because it has gold and peach and pink tones which are perfect for this season. I find that this color is too shimmery for the eyes though, so it will have to be solely my highlighter.

Vanilla pigment -> Now everyone and their pet gorilla has come up with multiple ways to use this mystical little powder, and here are my two cents: eyeshadow, cheek highlight, mix it with face lotion for a glow (like tan pigment), mix it in hair products like shine mists or texturizing spray to add shimmer to the hair. 

My other pigments that I did not bring with me are Teal, Copper (which I should have brought, it would be great for summer!!! fml), Silver Metal, and Clear Sky Blue. I also have Grape, which I did bring with me, but I haven't found any uses for it other than shadow, so not much mention there. I am planning to use silver pigment as a shimmery topcoat to bedazzle nail colors like royal purple or dark blue or black, maybe even pink. As well as mix it with hair products for the ultimate hair shimmer.


From now on, I'm sticking to pigment samples.

Will be posting vids soon, check out CompassBlue on YT ppl!
