7-Day Pigment Challenge

I own a "few" pigments (and loose shadows) but I am reluctant to use them because there is something about them that intimidates me slightly. I worry about fallout, and ease of application, esp. precise application. But the color pay-off, staying powder, and lasting power out weighed my resistance. Plus, I like to actually use the things I buy. So I issued a 7-Day Challenge to myself; to use pigments everyday (or at least everyday that I wear cosmetics.

Today I went with Mauvement from MAC's Flashtronic line late this summer. Here is the breakdown:

- Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base
- Saddle (MAC) all over.
- Soba (MAC) as a highlight
- Satin Taupe (MAC) through the crease and a bit higher
- Mauvement on lid.
- Smoking (MAC Smoking Eyes Quad - Smoke Signals Collection) from outer lower lid to crease
- Showstopper (" ") - Outter V, blended with Smoking.



It's not the best blending, but it had to do, and I was pleased. Smoking is hard to blend.
