The Sparkly Breakdown of Our Pressed Pigments
Cocktails & Sparkle: The Sparkly (and necessary) Breakdown of Our Pressed Pigments
Let’s raise a (shimmering) glass to the unsung heroes of our eyeshadow palettes: pressed pigments. They’re bold, beautiful, and sometimes a little mysterious and that's how we like it.
You may have swatched three different shades and thought:
“Huh? Why does this one feel like literal crushed diamonds and the other resembles a perfectly smooth espresso martini?”
Don't worry, we've got all the answers. This is our guide to our pressed pigment categories:
✨ Textured Iridescent Pressed Pigments
A.K.A.: The Glitter Margarita with Extra Rim Sugar
Best For: Tapping onto lids, inner corners, cheekbones, and collarbones for that “whoa, is she glowing?” moment.
Pro Tip: Use a glitter primer or setting spray before applying to withstand all. SHe can handle herself, but a little added grip never hurt!
As you can imagine, these beauties steal the spotlight. As the name suggests, they are absolutely gorgeous in all of their iridescent glory. Our textured iridescent pigments are ultra-sparkly, slightly chunky, and made specifically for turning heads. They maximize their sparkle because of their slightly chunky texture, allowing them to hit different in sunlight and dance-floor lighting.
✨Iridescent Multi-Chrome Pressed Pigments
A.K.A.: The Color-Shifting Martini That Gets Better Every Sip
Best For: Lids that demand a double take — halo eyes, graphic liner, or all-over shimmer on lazy glam days.
Pro Tip: Don't tell anyone we told you, but apply over a black or deep base to intensify the shift. Trust us, it’s giving main character energy.
Our Multi-chromes are notably smooth, sultry, and completely unpredictable, in the best way. The silky texture combined with the never ending colour shifting makes this pigment a one-swipe wonder that does the most so you don’t have to.
✨Neutral Traditional Pressed Pigments
A.K.A.: The Espresso Shot You Can’t Function Without
Best For: Transition shades, for neutral glam or pops of colour
Pro Tip: Use as a base then add a striking multi-chrome for a halo effect
The classics can never be beat. These oh so creamy shades give the perfect neutral appeal to a well rounded and balanced look. They blend like a dream, play nice with everyone, and always show up on time. Reliable? Yes. Boring? Never.
Until next time, sparkle responsibly! ✨
