This was my very first time using loose pigments and honestly, it was a lot easier to apply than I thought it would be! I used a loose pigment eyeshadow and blush, both of which were from BareMinerals. Considering the fact that I"m not the most careful makeup-applier, I was a little scared to apply loose pigment makeup. But, the other day I decided it was time for a little challenge and change, so I picked up this cute little BareMinerals kit a couple weeks ago with a loose pigment eyeshadow and blush.
The eyeshadow color is absolutely beautiful, although it didn't show up that well in the picture above. It's a beautiful almond-taupe color that actually applies really sheer compared to higher quality pressed eyeshadows. I guess that's one of the caveats with loose pigments? Unless it's just this shade. In any case, it was really really easy to apply with a stiff, flat eyeshadow brush and didn't fall out at all even when I patted it on my (primed) lids. As far as staying power, it did crease a little tiny bit 8-10 hours after application, but the color was still there and evident.
The blush was also really easy to apply. It was a peachier, apricot-toned blush. I actually really liked this blush color with my skin tone. Really flattering. Again, it applied very softly and evenly. The last time I remembered using a loose pigment blush was when I was 15 and I remember the color being very harsh and patchy appearing. None of that with this blush though, partially because of its soft color. Definitely going to be a favorite this spring and summer!

All in all, I'm quite impressed with loose pigment makeup! Definitely less scary than I thought it would be. I'm excited to try more loose pigment eyeshadows in the future and even more blushes. One of the things I really love about these types of blushes is that they're really pure and made with only a few ingredients. They don't have any of the filler, preservative stuff that's in pressed blushes. That's one of the reasons I initially fell in love with BareMinerals and I'm definitely excited to try some new stuff from them!
