Product of the Week - MAC Pigment

  MAC Pigment comes in an array of shades (34, plus many special editions!) and finishes (matte, frost, pearl, metal), and is a dependable product that can be tailored to deliver a soft wash of colour, or intensified to create a dramatic look.  This product is extremely versatile (you can even mix it with clear nail polish to make a personalized colour!!!) and long-lasting.

  What makes it so amazing?  Well, it contains a variety of compounds that help to increase its longevity and enhance the product.  Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate is an ester that slows water loss, essentially creating a barrier between your skin and the product (making it long-lasting).  It also contains, among other compounds, isostearyl neopentanoate, which acts as a lubricant, smooths the surface of application, and holds the pigment together.  These two ingredients, along with a healthy dose of mica, results in a smooth, long-lasting colour. 
 
  My favourite shade of pigment right now is Heritage Rouge (although, sadly has been discontinued from the looks of it!), a deep burgundy that gives the perfect grunge-glam look that's hot for fall.
