How to Use Makeup Pigments and Unleash Your Creative Spark
- Written by a Sponsored Post Contributor
If you're looking to elevate your makeup game and add a touch of sparkle and vibrancy to your looks, then loose eyeshadow pigments are your new best friend. Unlike traditional pressed eyeshadows, eye pigment makeup offers a stronger application and a more intense colour payoff, making them perfect for creating bold and eye-catching makeup looks. In this guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about using makeup pigments and glitters to unleash your creativity.
Understanding Makeup Pigments
Makeup pigments come in various forms, including loose powders and pressed pans, each offering unique textures and finishes. At Inglot, our range of eyeshadow pigments includes the AMC range, known for its highly pigmented shades and duo-chrome effects. These pigments deliver intense colour payoff and can be layered for a multidimensional look that truly stands out. Unlike conventional eyeshadows, loose eyeshadow pigments provide more versatility and flexibility in application, allowing for a wider range of effects from a single product.
Versatility of Body Pigments
But why limit pigments to just your eyes? Our body pigments are designed for use on both the face and body, offering a silky-smooth texture that glides effortlessly onto the skin. Whether you're creating a statement eye look or adding a touch of shimmer to your body, these pigments provide long-lasting color and a radiant finish. Body pigments can be mixed with body lotions or oils to create custom shimmery body products, or applied directly to the skin for a shimmering highlight.
Creative Applications with Glitter Pigments
For those who love a bit of sparkle, our range of glitter pigments is sure to captivate. Body Sparkles, in particular, are perfect for adding a crystal effect to any part of the body, from the eyes to the cheeks and beyond. These glitter pigments can be used to create festival-ready looks or to add a touch of glamour to your everyday makeup. Mix them with Duraline to create custom liquid eyeliners or use them alone for a shimmering accent that catches the light. The versatility of loose eyeshadow pigments means you can achieve a variety of looks with just a few products.
Tips for Application
To make the most of your makeup pigments, consider using different bases for varying effects. Body art adhesive or aquastics cream eyeshadows can act as a sticky base, helping the pigments adhere to the skin and intensifying their colour. Additionally, applying pigments with a damp brush can enhance their pigmentation and create a foiled effect that's truly stunning. When using loose eyeshadow pigments, it’s crucial to have the right tools and techniques to minimize fallout and maximize impact.
- Prime Your Lids: Start with an eyeshadow primer or a cream eyeshadow as a base. This helps the pigments stick better and last longer.
- Use a Damp Brush: Wet your brush with a setting spray before dipping it into the pigment. This will not only intensify the colour but also help in reducing fallout.
- Pat, Don’t Swipe: When applying loose pigment eyeshadow, use a patting motion rather than a swiping one. This deposits the colour more evenly and minimizes mess.
- Layer for Intensity: Build up the colour gradually. Start with a light layer and add more until you achieve the desired intensity.
- Seal with Setting Spray: Finish your look with a setting spray to lock in the pigment and prevent it from creasing or fading throughout the day.
Answering Common Questions
How do I apply loose pigment eyeshadow for maximum impact?
Start by applying your wet base to the lid. This could be an eyeshadow primer, a cream shadow, or a specific product like Duraline. Next, tap off any excess product from your brush to minimize fallout. Gently press the pigment onto your lid for intense colour payoff. If you want to blend, use a clean brush to soften the edges.
Can makeup pigments be used on the face and body?
Yes, many makeup pigments are versatile enough to be used on both the face and body, allowing for endless creativity in your makeup looks. Body pigments are specifically formulated to be safe for use on various parts of the body, making them ideal for creating cohesive, all-over makeup looks for special events or photo shoots.
Are loose glitter pigments suitable for everyday makeup looks?
Absolutely! Glitter pigments can add a touch of glamour to any look, whether it's for a special occasion or just a fun day out. For a more subdued everyday look, apply a small amount of glitter to the inner corners of your eyes or along the lower lash line. For a more dramatic effect, go bold with a full glitter lid or create glitter eyeliner by mixing the pigment with Duraline.
