MAC "Copper Sparkle" pigment review

Gooooodmorning! 

 

Recently I got a sample of a copper pigment at my local MAC counter. The make-up artist gave it to me because I didn't want to buy a whole pigment if I wasn't sure I would like it, but after using the pigment twice, I fell in love with it and decided that maybe I would be willing to pay €23 for it.

The pigment that I'm talking about is called "Copper Sparkle". This is what it looks like.

I have used pigment from MAC before and I have always been happy with the way they turned out. The previous ones I got weren't as bright as this pigment though and I must admit that I didn't expect the colour to pop like it did. Below you can see a swatch.

 

Pigments always give fall out so it's smarter to do your eye make-up before your face make-up when you use a pigment. That way, you can remove the fall out from your face before starting to apply foundation. If you did however already do your face make-up and find yourself in a bit of a pickle, use scotch tape to remove the fall out.

I always make sure the pigment has something to stick to so I got a glitter glue (by H&M). You can also use foundation, concealer or eyeshadow primer.

Here's my completed look with the "Copper Sparkle" pigment. I'm very impressed!

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Have a good one!

Goodmorning everyone! I'm glad you're here again.

Today's look is a look that I created with the new MAC products I got earlier this week. I was so excited to play with all my new colours because I picked out colours that I don't have in my collection yet. I figured if I'm going to spend a lot of money on make-up, I might as well go for something special. I never really go for neutral shades or highlight colours because there are plenty of other brands (and cheaper ones) that make them too and they're just fine.

 

This look is so easy but looks like you've put a lot of effort into it.

For today's look I used the "Suspiciously sweet" and "Red brick" in my crease. I darkened up my crease with "Swiss Chocolate".

For my eyelid, I used a sample of the "Copper spark" pigment that the MAC make-up artist made for me. It's absolutely gorgeous!

 

Here are some close-ups of the look that I made:

 

 

And this is what the full face looks like. I did end up applying some gel eyeliner to my lower waterline to get more of the "smokey eye" effect. My eyeliner and mascara are by Essence, still, after all these years.

 

 

Thanks a lot for reading! Have a good one!
