When it comes to the quality of makeup products, often pigmentation is a top defining factor. It of course makes sense as we all expect payoff that is rich and impactful when we spend our money on a product, although, having said that, there are some products that some people prefer a more subtle payoff especially for blush, contour, bronzer, etc. However, for the most rich pigmented payoff is what we usually expect and appreciate in a product.. So, I perused my collection to select the most pigmented products I own and thought it would be helpful to showcase them along with my thoughts on whether or not the intense pigmentation is actually advantageous or not.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette.
This palette's claim to fame is definitely the intense pigmentation of the shadows while still maintaining a smooth application and blend on the eyes. For eyeshadow, I personally appreciate and favour shadows that are highly pigmented that I can manipulate into an intense look or diffuse and blend into a more soft-focused, albeit noticeable eye look. So, this palette in particular is top-notch, mostly owing to its generous pigmentation. [Full review here.]
Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette.
It gets a bit tricky when it comes to highlighters. I personally prefer the natural, colourless, cream highlighters as when it comes to a powder highlighter that is very pigmented, it can come off as too metallic, unflattering, and unnatural. However, this particular product is suprisingly pretty as it makes the skin look more wet than actually highlighted, imparting a more dewy natural look. [Full review here.]
e.l.f. Blush Palette.
I love a good pigmented blush, contrary to most people. However, honestly this palette may be too pigmented even for my liking, particularly because the high pigmentation is paired with un-blendability, so you end up with high impact blush, but without the ability to blend and diffuse it away. So, when it comes to blush (or at least this palette), high pigmentation may not necessarily a benefit. [Full review here.]
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Lipsticks.
I probably own over half of this collection and each lipstick really is super pigmented and vivid on the lips, yet in a comfortable, non-drying way. The shade swatched is "111" which is a gorgeous tomato-red that, with one swipe, gives me maximum payoff. These are probably my most loved lipsticks in my collection, period.
Sephora Wink-It Felt Liner.
With liquid eyeliner, I feel that the consenus is that the more pigmented, the better. It's difficult to find an opaque and vivid liquid liner that doesn't smudge, transfer, or fade, but this eyeliner conforms to everything I look for in the perfect liquid liner, especially pigmentation!
