5 Ways to Wear Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadow

For Spring-Summer 2015, Inglot is all about starry starry eyes, and has released 5 new AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadows for the Star Dust Collection.  I decided to put 1 of them to the test, incorporating it into a bunch of other Inglot makeup that I have for a couple of looks.  And whilst I was fooling around, I thought it’d be fun to see what else I could do with these pigments, and came up with 5 ways!

For SS15, Inglot released the Star Dust Collection which just recently arrived in Singapore.  The collection comprised of 5 brand new AMC Pure Pigment eyeshadows in various colorful hues.

Clockwise from top: Peach Golden (115), Violet (112), Blue (113), Rosy Pink (111), and Chameleon Green (114)

Many brands (e.g. MAC, Makeup Forever, Makeup Store, etc) carry loose pigments, but Inglot differentiates itself by using 90% pure pigments.  This ensures intense color with luminous shine, and is resistant to sweat so it is long-lasting on the lids.  They are formulated with vitamin E and sponge gourd oil, which keep the lids supple and smooth.

First, how to work with pigments:

To use, you would need a fixer of some sort to keep the pigment in place.  Inglot offers its own Duraline, a clear colorless fluid that is somewhat tacky in texture.  Simply dab a little bit onto the lids and leave to dry for about a minute before patting on the pigments.  You can choose to use your own of course, I personally found that first dabbing my brush on some cream eyeshadow primer before picking up the pigments and then patting the mixture to my lids and then fixing it all with a makeup fixing spray worked well, so feel free to experiment!

Now, what to do with pigments: #1 As eyeshadow!

Since we are playing around with Inglot AMC Pure Pigment eyeshadow today, I thought it might be nice to show you a couple of fun ways to play with a small handful of Inglot items that I have, just so you can see how well these perform and how multi-tasking they can be!  Fyi, I had also reviewed some Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadows sometime back here.  The items I’m using today are:

• Freedom System Eyeshadow #329 matte brown
• Freedom System Face Blush #47 coral
• AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadow #111 Rosy Pink

For the eye look below, I first defined the outer corner and crease with the matte eyeshadow, after which I patted in the pigment with a flat brush.  I was in a hurry when I did this, so I forgot to tap off the excess from my brush and some of it fell onto my lashes.  Please don’t make the same mistake as me!

#2 Highlight & line the eyes

If using pigments all over the eyes is too intense for you, you may also choose to simply dab it to the center of your lids for some pop and dimension.  Alternatively, you can just pop a little bit of pigment on the inner corner of your eyes to wake up those peepers!

In case you were wondering, I added some of the blush #47 on the inner third of my eye for some extra color. Everywhere else on my lid is eyeshadow #329, with just a dab of AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadow #111 on the center.

In the eye look above, I’ve also added some pigments (I thought pink would be too matchy-matchy, so I delved into my stash and pulled out some gold and silver from Shu Uemura) into my liner along my lower lash line just to make things interesting!  To prevent the pigments from falling all over the under eye area, first spritz some fixer into a flat liner brush, then press the tip of the brush onto some pigments (I should note here that it is better to pour a bit of pigments onto a flat surface or the lid of the jar instead of dipping a brush directly into the jar), tap off the excess, and press the brush onto the lash line.  Do not sweep, but repeat with pressing motion.

#3 Amp up those lipglosses!

Just for some fun, I also mixed some of the pigment with a light pink clear gloss and applied it all over with a brush.

And here is the full look in context, featuring the 1st eye look and lips shown above, including the Freedom system blush #47 on my cheeks:

#4 Jazz up your nailpolish

Since the pigment I am using today is rather glittery, I simply sprinkled a bit of it all over my nails.  I was going for something arty, nothing precise, so all I did was apply the pigment whilst my nail polish was still wet, and then set it with a clear top coat.

You could also mix more of the pigment with clear nail polish, and apply directly onto the nails for your own custom color.  It gets fun when you mix and match your own pigments!

#5 Hair & body shine

For pigments like the Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadow #111 which is glittery, you may also try mixing a tiny pinch in with hair or body oil, and applying to your tresses / shoulders / decolletage for some shine!  Cheaper than buying Guerlain’s shimmer spray (and it’s only available once a year in limited quantities anyway), and can be so fun for parties.  Just make sure that if you are using it on the body, try to stick to translucent / gold / nude tones unless you are aiming to be a walking glitter bomb!

Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadows are a fun way to jazz up any look and can be used in many different ways. Have you tried them out yet?
