I am SO excited for this! I'm going for the everything kit. 

[klbandy]

Just got my package and immediately did swatches. Here's real life, non-edited, pictures on NC 15 skin. I'm in love 😍

[sabrinas]

@klbandy omg your swatches are FANTASTIC! Beautiful! Makes me want the entire kit, however I know I won't use them all lol they are just pretty to look at!

[klbandy]

Thank you 🙂 I do feel that copper and bronze are a little too similar to justify both if your not a collector

[AMK721]

Excellent swatches!  Thank you

[klbandy]

No problem 🙂

[niki172]

This was so very helpful and like others have said the pictures are amazing! Thank you so very much for the swatches - I'm just going to stare at these pictures now for a while they're so pretty 🙂

[klbandy]

Thank you! I'm so happy I was able to help some people make a decision. I know how difficult it can be. It was hard to take the swatches off of my arm because of how beautiful they are. 

[kso1225]

So lovely @klbandy You have excellent lighting and I love the sequins in the background!  What did you use to take the pictures and what was your light source? I know that's not the focus here, but I'm genuinely curious since they turned out so well and aren't edited.  

[klbandy]

I completely understand! It's taken me two years to figure it out to this point. I used a Sony a5100 with a macro lense. For my lights I use a ring light bounced off of some white plastic signs so it isn't as glaring. 

[Anewxa]

😱 These got to be the Most stunning swatches yet! Thanks! Any thoughts on these @klbandy? I am leaning towards copper and gold. Almost tempted to just get the everything set!

[klbandy]

Thank you! @Anewxa So far I think these do compare to a normal pigment but seem to be compacted a little more than say a mac pressed pigment. If you are a total makeup junkie or collector then I'd say get the everything set. If your looking took save money or only get colors that are distinct I'd say that gold and copper are my favorites. I hope this helps a little

[Anewxa]

Yes TY!

[PrettyPaint]

Probably a silly question, but just want to make sure before I mess up my sensitive eyes. The mehron liquid is safe to use on eyes as a liner, correct? Just checking due to the alcohol content, mainly. And would you just dip a liner brush into the liquid and then pick up the pigment with a brush? Or would it be best it mix them together first and then apply? Thanks in advance!

[veronika23]

@PrettyPaintThere are no silly questions 🙂  I am pretty sure it's eye safe... but maybe you would want to test the liquid by itself if you are sensitive. You could always try to mix with MAC Fix + if you are concerned. Could use it either way... if you dip your brush make sure your brush is clean before dipping again 😉

[PrettyPaint]

@veronika23 Thanks so much! I didn't even think about using Fix+...that's a great idea, as I already have two bottles.

[veronika23]

@PrettyPaintAwesome! 🙂 I'll be trying it out with a few things when I get it.

[niki172]

Are we still thinking this drops at 9:00 PST tomorrow? I'd really like to get some sleep tonight, but I know me - I'll check at 3 then look around the internet and check back in every half hour and this will continue until 6 am when I finally fall asleep and have to get up shortly. I'm really going to try and not do this. I have so many eyeshadows - just nothing like this. At least unless others that have it already think it's possibly dupeable which I'm betting not. Oh man 😄

[sabrinas]

I think when the lip kits dropped, it was around 11am-12ish EST, so I'm assuming it'll be the same for these! I wouldn't worry about waking up for them, they didn't sell out super fast on her website so I think we'll be safe on sephora 😄 @niki172

[niki172]

@sabrinas - they are live now in case you're awake :).

I just tried the pigments with the mehron mixing liquid and Holy shiny gorgeousness Batman!  I dipped my brush into the liquid, then swirled it in the pigment and swatched on my arm.  I'm.  In.  Love.

UGH, why isn't it letting me upload the swatch. It's so pretty I promise.   Got it! It's like liquid metal and shinier in person
