I know the difference between the two, but which do you prefer? Which has a better color payoff? And, which do you own more of?
Pigments they have a better color pay off ?
MAC pigments. The color is just so rich and it lasts really long.
The pigment has a BETTER pay off. I prefer eyeshadow for everyday and pigment for special occasions or going out at night! I own more e/s
Pigments definitely have a better color payoff, but the big 7g (I think) jars are pretty much a waste of money because there's no way you'll use all of it...ever. I'd go with purchasing piggie samples and then buying full size jars in the colors you love. Eye shadows are also good and have much less fall out because they're not loose. But it's hit or miss with Mac, I think. By no means is it the best makeup line out there. Make Up For Ever is a better investment for highly pigmented shadows and piggies. They're worth every cent.
pigments! they're only about 5 dollars more than an eyeshadow and there's so much in that little tub that it can last you forever! and the color payoff is a lot better. you can also use pigments for a lot more things, like mix it with clear lip gloss to make a really pretty lip shade, mix it with hair gel to put temporary color in your hair, or of course as eye shadow. and you could use it wet or dry depending on how intense you want your color i own more pigments than eyeshadows :]
