MAC Pigment Review Summary

"Designed especially for professional make-up artists", Mac Pigment is a huge hit with our beauty reviewers. One reviewer who is always trying new beauty products says that Mac Pigment is "an awesome must-have for any make-up junkie". "The shimmer in the pigments is very fine to create a subtle, luminous shine" explains another critic. As far as quantity, Mac Pigments "will last you forever". This is a good thing, our reviewers say, because Mac Pigment can be on the pricey side. Also, our beauty experts say that some of the limited edition colors can be very hard to track down.

Iridescent Duochromatic Fanatic, A Makeup Artist Liking High Performance

Yes, you read that correctly. I have at LEAST 75 jars of MAC Pigments.

Many years ago, another company called STAGELIGHTS came out with an eye pigment and they used to sell it at JCPenney stores. I fell in love with them right away. Unfortunately, they disappeared shortly afterward and I spent many years searching in vain for these amazing eye pigments.

As an artist, I thrive on having iridescent unusual duochromatic pigments to add dimension and texture to my makeup.

When a fellow makeup artist friend of mine told me that I had to try MAC pigments, I did not even know what a MAC was.....we have...

MAC Pigments are versatile, ultra-fine powders designed especially for professional makeup artists to create unlimited combinations of special effects and colors. Pigment is a highly concentrated loose color powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. The shimmer in the pigments is very fine to create a subtle, luminous shine. Pigment is available in matte and frosted finishes and comes in an excellent range of colors.

Pigments may be used in any of these ways:

• As an eyeshadow for long lasting color and shimmer - wet or dry. Use to create a subtle wash of color or an intense...

I love MAC's Vanilla Pigment because it is so versative and almost everyone could find a use for it.  You can use it on the eyes as an over-all wash of color, brow highlight, or to highlight the tearduct.  You can add a small amount the the center of your bottom lip (over or under gloss) to give you a more plump look.  You can mix it with your moisturizer for a nice dewy look.  You can apply it to your cheekbones/temples for a facial highlight.  You can apply it with your body moisturizer for a nice summer glow.  I'm sure there are other possibilities as well : )

I love MAC and I love their Pigments. I consider myself a MAC expert having been using the brand since 1998. The Pigments are such an awesome product. You can custom blend colors, make your own eyeshadow, add them to lip-gloss, add them to nail polish and even use them on your face. The Pigments are really free from limits and the amount you get in the jar could easily last you several lifetimes. With that said, the price is also a great price. The Pigments come in a variety of colors as well as finishes. Everything from matte to frost. The only downfall is that some colors are often released as...

I love Mac pigments...they are so versatile.  I wear the olive green almost every day.  I mostly use them as eye shadow or on top of eyeliner.  I have about 15 or so small pigment pots that I bought on eBay when you were still allowed to buy them.  They had about 1/4 teaspoon in each of them...and I still haven't run out.  I bought them on ebay because I wanted a large variety of colors without having to buy a large pot...because I do feel like they are expensive (about 20 dollars!).  But...they will last you forever!!!  If you can find a color you love and use all the time (for me the olive... review »

MAC Pigments are, in short, amazing. They are incredibly versatile, in that they can be used as eyeshadow, or mix it into clear nail polish to create custom nail color, and certain pigments can be mixed with clear lipgloss (or used with mixing medium) to create custom lipgloss colors. The very best part about pigments is that you only need a teeny amount, so a full jar will last you a lifetime. How many eyeshadows can you say that about? The color payoff is high, there are loads of colors available, and the price (currently $19.50 a jar) is a steal when you consider how long they last. I couldn't... review »

This stuff is so beautiful and there is so much there.   You will never run out.  It spreads well and it makes a dramatic effect.  The color is dimensional, it shines without looking glittery.  For the price, this is better quality and has a greater quantity than many other eyeshadows out there.  This stuff is famous for a reason.

With MAC pigment, a little goes a long way.  Use it sparingly and it could very well be a lifetime supply.  I've purchased 4 different pigment pots and am pleased with all of the colors. They can also be used on the body so not just for eyes.

I bought my first mac pigment from Nordstrom's for $19.50 and it lasted forever.  I always get a ton of compliments on my eye shadow when I use MAC.  Currently, I buy it for cheaper on ebay.  A lot of ebay buyers buy the larger container @ $19.50 and separate the pigment into smaller containers.  I like to buy it on ebay because usually they sell the pigment in a lot of 8 smaller containers for really cheap. 

I love this stuff because they have awesome colors, which seriously lasts you a long, long time.  However, it can be messy if you are not careful, and spill in your makeup bag if...

So, this MAC pigment eyeshdow is amazing in all colors and shades. The colors a vibrant, exciting, shimmery, go on smooth, and stay on all day! It is a very loose powder, so you have to be careful not to have it fall all over your face because it smears and is hard to get off. The eyshadow is only really effective is first, if you know how to do make up well and can blend and mix colors well and second, if you have the right tools and make-up applicators to do it. The Mac eyeshadow brushes are a must have if you want eye make-up like their models have. I thought all make-up brushes were the same...

Let me start this out by saying that I am not a makeup junkie. I usually wear powder and lip gloss, and that's it. However, MAC is the only eye makeup i wear. it's expensive, but worth every penny. the pigment is awesome because you can use it for your eyes, lips or cheeks (depending on color and your level of adventure). it's super easy to use, incredibly versatile, and lasts forEVER! i usually use my pigment on top of cream eyeshadow, but it's a pink color, so i'll sometimes use it on my lips or cheeks (mixed on top of powder or with lotion). it's a great way to change up my look without spending... review »

The MAC pigements are amazing!! i would recommend them to anyone. You can add them to a lipgloss to make a great color lipgloss, you can add it to a clear nailpolish to creat a personalised color. 

It comes in many different colors. 

Pigment is a highly concentrated loose colour powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Create a subtle wash of colour or an intense effect. Does not streak or cake. Easy to blend and long-lasting. Please note: Pigments are sold by weight not volume. Containers can appear to be less than full due to settling of the product.

I love MAC makeup and I use a lot of their eyeshadows. I went through this phase where I only wanted to wear the pigments, although they can get messy from being loose powdered you can use them in so many different ways. With a good base and a good brush, the pigments will stay on your eyes all day long. I have never tried this, but I heard you can use them to make nail polish. I personally think that is pretty cool.  ;]
