Favourite M.A.C eyeshadows
- Thread starter Miss 2 A

i have brown eyes, and am japanese PPP, and i like kicky blue aka Parrot (discontinued). i am more of a pigment girl than eyeshadows, i love collecting their pigments. my faves are green brown, bright fuschia, old gold, pink pearl, dazzleray, turquoise, gold (the discontinued frost one), emerald green, and teal to name a few. another shadow i like is black tied, i use it all the time to darken the colors of my pigments after applying them on. 
the pigments are not 'dangerous'. some are eye safe, some are not. i still use them anyhow and everything seems ok at this point! a lot of them are pearl/ shimmer textures, nothing i would consider glamorous (the glitters are definitely glam), but there are matt ones too. the matt ones can be a bit harder to work iwth though. i loooove pigments more than shadows.
Here's a link to avail colors, some are now discontinued though but can be accessed thru mua swaps or livejournal if u ever go there:

What is the difference between pigments and shadows? I am not familiar with pigments... Thanks a ton!
My fave color combos for shadows are: shroom/sable or cranberry/jest - both combos are great for everyday wear. Concrete is a great shade for smokey eyes. If you haven't tried MAC's eye kohls, those are great too... I like teddy. I have blue eyes.
pigments are basically loose powder form. i find them to be more 'pigmented', stronger colored.
they are versatile for me, i can use them as a wash, use wet for a bolder color, use as a blush (only some colors of course!, or use as a highlighter on my cheekbones etc... also used wet as eyeliner (though shadows can do this too). try playing around with them at the mac store next time u r there! once i discovered pigments, i now rarely use shadows, but thats just me!
Thanks for the info Betseylover, very informative! I'll probably check out the pigments next time I visit MAC. I usually apply my shadows with a damp brush to get more color to "stick" anyway... Pigments sound like fun!
