Glittery Purple Look + Static Pigment Swatches and Review


So that's my look for today :)
The last time i did this look i applied MAC fuchsia Glitter on top but it all ended up on my cheeks during the day so i skiped this step - if you have transparent Mascara use it as a base for glitter and it will last forever, but i don't have any so no Fuchsia glitter for me today :)

What I used:
Illamasqua UEC in 130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15
Illamasqua PF in 135
Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Disobey to contour
MAC Powder Blush in Dollymix

MAC Foxy Lady Eye Kohl on the entire lid blended upwards and on the lower lashline
MAC Beauty Marked e/s on Top of the Kohl
MAC Fig. 1 e/s in the crease and the lower Lashline
MAC Purple Shower e/s (LE) over Fig. 1
MAC Passionate e/s and Post Haste e/s mixed over the crease and on the lower lashline
MAC Next to Nothing e/s (LE) to highlight
MAC Young Punk MES (LE) in the lid
Illamasqua Static Pigment all over (used with Fix+)
MAC lll in Point Black top lashline and waterline
Illamasqua False Lashes 07

MAC Dervish Lipliner
Illamasqua Liar Lipstick

Static Pigment is actually pretty cool, i know Christine didn't like the packaging ("Oh, and packaging? I think I already lost 10% of the product on my floor and countertop after only opening it twice.") I had no problems with it...sure it's different but if you are careful it's fine, just pull the lid up on one side and it will open easily.
She also used it on top of a paint pot but underneath the eyeshadows and i think that's why she didn't love it, it IS glittery it has to be on top in my opinion.
And the last point where i disagree with her is that it looks similar to MACs Pink Opal pigment - I wouldn't call Static a pigment it's more on the glitter side and still easy to work with and Pink Opal is like an eyeshadow - Static is compared to Pink Opal purple in colour.

I tried to capture Statics awesomeness and kinda failed - but you can still see the difference in colour and in the second photo (i know it's blurry) you can see the different finish even better!

BUT Illamasqua pigments are very expensive and i personally don't think the pigments they offer are special but Static is and it was worth the money.

Anyways, hope you liked the look! :)
