    Ok..I'm very confused, my mam recently bought me mac pigment..it looks lovely in the container, it's navy blue with a golden metallic sheen off it...anyway the only problem is I don't know what the hell to do with it..I figured I'd mix up a little of it with water and paint it on as eyeliner but it didn't really work.
    Anyways, all I'm asking is; does anyone know how to use the stuff?

    i dont think you should mix it with water...
    maybe if you put a teeny tiny bit of clear lip gloss on your eye lids and then brush some on...??

    Ah, the oul pigment, I do love this stuff. I find with the darker shades, it looks best applied directly to the socket with a soft, natural hair brush.

    First, apply a neutral base all over the lid (a very light, shimmery gold would be great the pigment you have. MAC do a lovely one called Bagatelle). Apply it in the inner corners of your eyes as well, to open them and make you look wide awake. Next, simply dip your soft brush into the LID of the pigment (it can be overpowering if you use too much of the product) and tap the brush lightly on the side of the lid to shake off any excess. Apply it to you eye socket and outer edge of your eyelid, and sweeping it up ever so slighty toward the brow bone for a sexier look. To vary the strength of the colour of your pigment, just apply more, and if you want a matte look, slightly dampen your brush prior to application.

    Have fun with your new product!

    You need something called a mixing medium to make it into a paste properly. You can get this in BTs.

    Be so careful not to use too much. Also, since it's dark, do your eyes before doing the rest of your face so that if it drops onto your cheeks, you can just wipe it off without ruining your face.

    Yep..straight onto the eye with an eye shadow brush. Hold a tissue underneath your eye when applying or do your eyes first and foundation last.
    You would need a water based mixing medium for it to go on like a cream and it will adhere to the eye better..water wont work.

    Cool, I have a similar thing with a Gosh product. Will have to check out Mac (why do these things happen when you really can't afford to?)
