Urban Decay Pigments

Product Description: Color-intense, super-fine pigments in a rainbow of shades. Try a little for a sheer wash of color, or layer for bold, shimmering hues. The spill-proof tube even includes a high-quality brush.

These powdery-fine, silky soft shadows deliver more intense color than pressed or cream eye shadows.  With everything from bold brights to pretty neutrals, there's something for everyone!   

The 5 loose pigments that I thought I'd get the most use out of were Gunmetal, X, Rockstar, Asphyxia, and Smog. They still do have 3 available on the site for only a $1 originally $20. These were such a steal I couldn't resist. I'm just crossing my fingers that these aren't as messy as Mac pigments because I don't get much use out of them considering how messy they can get. Two look as if they have a little glitter in them, as the rest are very sheer, all are very pigmented.

For Swatches

Gunmetal: Is a gorgeous silver grey great for smokey eyes. I probably will get the most use out of this one personally.

Asphyxia: Is a  light pinkish fuchsia color with a an iridescent glow. This color is absolutely stunning.

Rockstar: Is a very pretty dark blueish purple with a little pop of glitter.

X: Is a light gold color with a touch of silver to it. 

Smog: Is another favorite of mine. Its dark shimmery brownish copper color.

As you can see these are very pigmented. I didn't use a primer when swatching these so I could imagine these looking even more vibrant if used with one. The brush could get a little messy, and the pigment tends to stick to the applicator which could be a  total mess. I'm not sure how much use I could get out of these, but for $1 they're totally worth it in my opinion. Their are mixed reviews about this product, the main concern is the applicator brush which I can totally see. For the price I can't complain to much, and until I really get to use them I couldn't tell you how much I love it or hate it yet. I'm sure I'll be doing a FOTD in the next week or so with these once I get to play around with them. 

Do you have these? What do you think of pigments?
