Aloha, dear friends!ღღღ
Pigments are rather new to me. I rarely put on eye makeup at all.
I was given the possibility to review the NYX pigments in two stunningly beautiful colors PEACOCK 24 and CRAZED 18.
To be honest, I’m no expert when it comes to eye makeup, but I’ve been using the pigments every day and it looks like I’ve found a way to use them

The pigments apply evenly and easily.

It’s a saturated pink with tiny pearly shimmers. You must be really a bit crazy (in a good way) to wear such bright eyeshadows.

This shade won’t suit everyone
Makeups, photos with and without flash:
Pros:
- 1. Great color payoff. If there were an eyeshadow base, the color would be even brighter
- 2. Lasts 6-8 hrs - more than enough, in my humble opinion.
- 3. Broad range of colors. Any capricious soul may find something delightful here.
- 4. Economical in use
- 5. It’s multi-functional. Many girls use the pigments for their lip makeup.
Cons:
- 1. Some shades change their color once applied onto the eyes.
- 2. The sifter falls out.
I give the pigments 4 stars.
The bottom line: the range of colors is truly an embarrassment of riches! Even though I’m not thrilled with these particular colors, I want to try other, more versatile and delicate ones. The pigments are definitely worth your attention!
