Eyeshadow pigments are loose eyeshadow
powders ranging in texture and finish, from matte and very finely
milled to shimmer or glittery. Pigments are that cosmetic we all like
to look at and collect because they are so pretty and enthralling.
Sad thing is when reaching for eyeshadow on an everyday basis
pigments lose the battle to pressed eyeshadows. A big reason is
pressed shadows are easier to work with and less messy.
Let's take a second to consider the
word 'pigment', it simply means colour. Therefore it is a simply a
cosmetic colour in a powder form. I am sure you can see why this is
an excellent multitasking makeup product. Pigments can be used in a
number of ways here are my personal favorites.
- Wet eyeshadow application. Rub your eyeshadow brush on a face wipe to dampen it then apply the pigment to your eyeshadow look with that brush. This works with pigments that have shimmer to intensify the finish and make it even more shimmery.
- Add a small amount of shimmery golden or bronze pigment to body lotion to create a beautiful bronzed highlight on your skin. This is perfect for summertime outings; it adds a healthy glow.
- Amp up your gloss or lipstick. You can create your own lipgloss by adding your desired pigment to clear gloss. You can also pat pigment over lipstick to mattify it, or add dimension.
- Highlight. Who wouldn't want glowing gorgeous Jennifer Lopez skin? Pigments make excellent highlighters on the tops of the cheekbones! Tip: Be extra light handed and use a small fluffy blending brush for precise but soft beautiful application.
