A few years ago, MAC pigments became a real mania for all girls. They were sold out at lightning speed, it even happened that the desired shade could not be found - it was taken apart instantly. To date, this type of cosmetics has not lost its relevance, but there is no longer such a great demand for it. Why? We will answer all questions in order.
What is pigment?
If we consider the purely name of this cosmetic, it becomes clear that this is something colored, something that can be painted over or toned. And there is. MAC pigments are in some way shadows, but they are not only for the eyelids, but for the entire face. Of course, most often they are used precisely as a tint to emphasize the eyes, since most of the colors from the palette are only suitable for this.
But there are some that can be applied on the lips, on the cheekbones, on the back of the nose, and even added to the foundation to give the skin an extra glow. It is these shades of pigments that have become the most popular and in demand. The rest of the colors girls choose depending on the type of makeup they apply. This beauty product is also actively used by professional makeup artists.
Why did demand fall?
We have already said above that MAC pigments used to be just an obsession for women - they bought them uncontrollably, uncontrollably, but now they seem to have calmed down. Has the fashion for this product gone? Not at all. It is still popular, it is recommended by makeup artists and bloggers. So why aren't they buying it?
The thing is that having bought one jar of pigment 3-4 years ago, many have not even had time to spend even half of it. The tool is spent so economically that it can be stretched for 10 years - that's for sure, without exaggeration. Well, if you purchased 2 or 3 pigments and use them alternately, most likely, you can even pass them on to your daughters. In a word, these shadows and highlighters, although they are expensive, are a one-time purchase, and very useful and of high quality.
Features of pigments
We know that every eyeshadow, every highlighter or powder has some type of texture or another. There are those that are applied very thickly, even if you just "scooped" the product with a brush. Others need to be applied liberally to have a noticeable effect. But MAC pigments are just a storm of color, brightness, saturation. They are incredibly expressive and deep, even in the brightest incarnations. One pea is enough to give the cheekbones a slight glow. Take two - and they will be alreadyshimmer with all shades of mother-of-pearl and beige. And the darker the pigment, the brighter and deeper its color and texture. This is the reason why the product consumes so slowly and lasts for a long time.

Initially, MAC was positioned as professional cosmetics, so many products, especially pigments, were produced in large volumes. After ordinary women began to buy them up, manufacturers released smaller jars and, accordingly, cheaper.
If earlier pigments could be bought in the amount of 4.5 grams for 1500 rubles, now there are 2.5-gram jars on sale for 600-700 rubles. The design is quite simple and minimalistic - in the spirit of the brand. The jar is transparent, so we can see the shade of the pigment. The lid is black, twists tightly, rubberized. Well, now we will look at the most popular shades of this beauty product.
Divine Vanilla
Bestseller, favorite of all women and make-up artists - pigment MAC Vanilla. This is the same universal color that can be used both as light shadows and as a highlighter, and even added to foundation. Its color is somewhere between milky or creamy and golden. The shade can be called beige, but it shimmers so many-sidedly that the eye simply does not have time to fix all its metamorphoses.
Due to the fact that Vanilla is a neutral, nude tone, it suits everyone, combined with any type of makeup. Perhaps this is the only copy that is worth buying in a large format. After all, there is no parting with such a pigmentno desire.
Magic Radiance
Blue shadows have long gone out of fashion, but brown ones have taken over and have become the most popular in our time. But MAC experts thought - why not mix the colors of the era and make something unique that will appeal to lovers of everything bright, extravagant and unusual? This is how the pigment MAC Blue Brown appeared, which fascinates with its name alone.
The peculiarity of this shade is that the brown pigments in it have a rather dark base, but the blue ones are light. It would be more accurate to say that this is a brown-blue color that looks very extraordinary. If you apply shadows on dry eyelids with a thin layer, you get a light haze. The creases will be darkened, but when light hits them, you will see an unprecedented blue glow. When Blue Brown is applied to a damp eyelid or applied over a pencil, it becomes very bright, downright metallic, but deep and expressive.
Reviews
MAC pigments are a must have in any makeup bag. Choose the shade that you feel comfortable with. You will find a worthy use for it and you will never want to leave. Compared to consumption, quality and aesthetic characteristics, this beauty product is just a penny price. By the way, women also claim that it does not crumble and lasts all day.
