No Fuss Pigments

We all shiver at the thought of using pigments as it tends to get messy, troublesome and at the end of the day you end up looking like a disco ball. But let me assure you not all are like that. I came across pigments that stay true to colour, offer minimal fall out and do not melt off your lids. These are Makeup Geek pigments - shock horror! 

L-R: Utopia, Afterglow, Sweet Dreams

As with all Makeup Geek products, these pigments are talc free, paraben free, cruelty free and are made in USA. You get 2,0g of product in a jar (even though it says 1,5g due to the regulations). Makeup Geek has recently repackaged their pigments, which now contain proper sifters preventing it from flying around everywhere. I went ahead and purchased three colours.

Utopia (an antique gold glitter)
Afterglow (a soft shimmery champagne with peachy undertones) 
Sweet Dreams(a beige nude with slight shimmer)

L-R: Utopia, Afterglow, Sweet Dreams

I use Sweet Dreams and Afterglow pigments on a daily basis. Sweet Dreams is the more subtle of the two, although both of them are wearable for everyday use. Utopia is more of a special occasion pick. It would be great for a night out or New Years or if you want to rock it during the day, You go girl or boy! Utopia does have a little bit more fall out since it is a glitter.

Tip: Prior to application, if you dip your brush into an eye drop solution, it will help the glitter to adhere and give you an even better colour payoff. 

I would suggest applying these pigments with a small synthetic flat brush. For example something along the lines of Morphe Brushes G15 the one featured in the picture below. It doesn't have to be this exact brush but anything similar will work.

If you are trying out the brand for the first time and not sure which pigment to pick, I say go with Afterglow. It is quite versatile; you can sheer it out or you can make it really intense. It goes with any makeup and looks stunning on its own. Makeup Geek pigments retail for $7,99. You can purchase them directly from the Makeup Geek website. 

Which pigment should I try next? I have been eyeing Birthday Wish.
