As my exams are nearing up I am busy studying these days and I study at nights…yesterday was too bored and thought of trying out something and it did work !!
What I did…I made a lip and cheek stain from my MAC Brash and Bold Pigment. I was not sure of how it would turn out so I made only a little qty.
About Pigments: Pigment is a highly concentrated loose color powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Use to create a subtle wash of color or an intense effect.
What you need :
A plastic spoon A sanitised small container or lens case. Any pigment of your choice..but a color which looks wearable on lips :p Vaseline
Thats it… It was very difficult to describe the exact color..Christine does it best. Brash & Bold is a velvety, deep fuchsia-red with subtle fuchsia-purple sheen. If Bright Fuchsia and Pink Pearl pigment had a baby, this would be it. (From Temptalia) Check out the swatches here
I took a little pigment in the container, heated the Vaseline a bit and added it to the container…mixed them well and let it cool down…
I got a pretty raspberry pink color..a fuchsia leaning towards red…I love it…:)
I used it on my lips and on my cheeks…and the Vaseline gave it a super glossy effect…very similar to Maxfactor Miracle Touch Cream Blush which are sheer and have a similar glossy effect on cheeks.

Blended
The pigment has awesome staying power and it stayed up pretty well on cheeks..the only problem was on the lips..as the vaseline goes away..it starts fading…but in parts and settles into fine lines too…now the tint was there on my lips on the centre forever…but the sides had worn off and it became uneven…I guess it would make a good base for similar colors…or let me try applying it or using it some other way…would think of something.
Now I was wary of sharing these pics…as I was just sitting and studying and these are random clicks and I have just the pigment made on lips and cheeks and nothing else..so please ignore my face,eyebrows,etc..got no time these days for any grooming 🙁
