lol. So weve all been finding new suppliers of pigments lately, such as NYX, Jesse's girl, etc. But today i was in Michaels Craft store and i found these.
12 Pigments in each pack, a variety of colors, same consistency, same beautiful colors.
And of course they dont have as many colors as MAC does. But its a great price. 12 come in a pack, i got both packs of different shades for 24 dollars each.
Sad thing is they dont have black included in the package. But whatever other specific colors that most dont make, can be mixed or splurged on at MAC. But for beginners or for people who just want the basics these are great.
BTW theyre called pearl ex pigments.
Heres what they say about them:
Pearl Ex creates a metallic look without being a metal. The particles are flat platelets with two surfaces, therefore it lays down beautifully like a thin coating of metal. The different particle sizes produce different looks — from a fine, smooth, pearly luster to a highly metallic sheen.
It is a safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment with a neutral pH. It is extremely color fast and stable — it will not tarnish or fade and is therefore ideal for archival applications.
So no there not made for Makeup, but i there made of mostly MICA like MAC. And just like mac, they can be added and mixed into things such as nail polish.. etc.
And there non-toxic but if i do die while trying them i'll let you all know lol.
