Im currently working on some new colors for Fall, in my makeup line. I really LOVE loose pigments becasue the color is always more bright and flows well, But as im sure you all know it can get really messy too. So which do you prefer? and why?
Check out my website www.candypaintme.com

Pressed. Loose shadows grind my gears.

I think it really depends on what I want to do with the product, for exemple if I'm going for a bright look, pigments are definitely better, but as you said it can get everywhere . For an "everyday look" something I would wear to work for exemple, I would much rather use pressed powders just because I won't have the time to be extra careful with loose pigments . I hope it answers your question :)

I prefer pressed just because it gets to messy and I'm always scared if i drop it its game over! lol

I prefer matte at the moment but it changes a lot :)

Ok, thanks girly! I would love to have a pressed glitter! Or maybe a Glitter mixed with some pigment. that would probably be so cute!
