Question:

My MAC pigment is really chunky-like?

I bought the color Frozen White, and the store sample was sort chunky too, and it doesn't go on my skin well because of that. How can I apply it on smoothly? do I need to add a little water??? help!!!!

Answer:

use a good brush, apply little by little experiment with water remember MAC was made for taking model pictures there colors are strong and bold and not good for the skin because they were made solely to take pictures and have it pop out of the picture
I would recommend applying the pigment wet. There are a multitude or different products that you can use to wet the pigment; Fix Plus (from MAC), mixing mediums (you can usually find those at Sephora), or water. Although I would try the first two over water. Hope this helps!
Some pigments are just designed to be chunky. As the answer above said, definitely use fix+ or mixing mediums. water will not be good enough as it does not have that 'sticky' residue that both fix+ and mixing mediums have. Also, I find that having an eyeshadow base helps a lot - makes pigments a tad easier to blend. This may work or it may not, really depends on the individual pigment, and i've never used Frozen White before... BUT try breaking up the pigment chunks by using a plastic spatula (should be able to buy them in make up stores like Sephora). Literally, put some on the cap and then just crush it until it becomes finer. Hope this helps :)
