MAC Pigment; Fuschia

MAC Fuschia Pigment

This is a super bright and super girly pink! It's like Girl About Town lipstick in eyeshadow form! You need to be into pink and very daring to wear this colour as it is one that will grab attention! This colour will look just as good on anyone with any eye colour or skin tone. This is a lovely colour, not necessarily for everyday wear. I can't really think of a dupe for it, the closest I can think is Sugarpill's Dollipop, however that is more pure pink, whereas this is deeper and has a purple hint to it. But the brightness and pigmentation is around the same, however the texture and colours are not exact.

MAC Pigment; Violet

MAC Violet Pigment

This is pretty much what it says on the tin, it's violet! This is a very bright and lovely purple with some iridescence to it. If you are a fan of the purple and don't have this in your collection, shame on you! This is a product you need. For those who would like an eyeshadow dupe, the closest I can think is Urban Decay's Ransom deluxe eyeshadow, since they both are around the same shade, pigmentation and have a similar iridescence.

MAC Pigment; Golden Lemon

MAC Golden Lemon Pigment

Yellow is one of my favourite colours, so when I saw this at my CCO for £10 instead of £15 I bought it without hesitation. I wanted to love this, but I don't. I find that it is just far too glittery, fall out is inevitable, and I try to avoid the disco ball face! Also the colour didn't go on as vibrant as it appeared in the tub. Sad times! I am so disappointed with this colour, I actually reach for my MAC Style Warriors Bright Future eyeshadow over this pigment, as it is smoother in application and more vibrant in colour!

MAC Pigment; Teal

MAC Teal Pigment

This was my very first pigment that I bought! It is one of my favourites, I love my teals and greens and this is so rich and deep in colour. It really should be a must have for everyone's collections, because it is a lovely pigment. I did this swatch pic a while ago when I was still a bit naff at liquid liner, sad times! I find that it had a lot of fall out as a loose powder, however after I pressed it I found it went on deeper in colour and there was less fall out, so I totally recommend pressing your pigments to get the best use out of them. I am not sure how it works, but I have had better use from this pigment after it was pressed.

MAC Pigment; Antique Green

MAC Antique Green pigment

This is one of my favourite colours. It is such a unique and deep green however isn't in your face. It is shimmery but isn't glittery. It has a little brown tinge to it, which I guess is where the "antique" bit comes in. It is like a lighter and less dramatic Humid. If you are a fan of green eyeshadow then this should be in your collection, because it is a very flattering and understated shade. I didn't experience much/if any fallout with this pigment, which I find very rare in terms of pigments.

MAC Pigment; Cornflower

This is a very glittery pigment, and it has a lot of fallout. It was described as a sky blue on the website, however it is more like a darker purpley blue, it isn't really a pure blue at all. That being said it is a beautiful and unique colour, especially if you like glittery eyeshadows, and because it isn't pure blue even blue eyeshadow phobics might like it! :] If you press the pigment the fallout probably won't be as bad, however I am not a massive fan of glittery shadows, and so I am a little out off by this colour due to all the glitter.

Review; MAC Alice+Olivia Partylicious pigment

Partylicious
MAC Alice+Olivia "Partylicious" Pigment

This is a gorgeous bright aqua colour. I thought it would be more teal then it is, but I actually like the fact it is more aqua then teal as I have a lot of green/teal colours already. If you mixed Mutiny pigment with a little bit of Teal you might end up with something similar to this. It's definitely more blue the green, but I wouldn't say it is a pure blue colour. It has a subtle gold shimmer though it is more obvious when pressed in a pan or in the pot then it is on the eyelid. I think this is a really nice unique colour and one to pick up!
