Shop Pigments & Loose Eyeshadows


If you want maximum intensity in your eyeshadow, then you’ll want to reach for a pigment or loose eyeshadow. These shadows offer the most highly pigmented finishes for dramatic day and night looks, but pigmented eyeshadows aren’t the easiest to tackle. You’ll want to first perfect your application skills when it comes to pressed eyeshadows before moving onto loose pigments. Otherwise, you can make quite a mess!


Understanding how to apply loose eyeshadow is a must if you wish to avoid getting more colour on your cheeks than on your lids! First, we always recommend applying an eyeshadow primer beforehand to ensure the pigments adhere to the skin. Alternatively, wet your makeup brush before application with your favourite setting spray or even just a little bit of water. We also recommend applying your eye makeup first when using loose eyeshadows so you can clean up without ruining your foundation.


When choosing the best loose eyeshadow pigments, always look for an incredibly finely milled powder to avoid big chunks of glitter or shimmer that won’t blend easily. Rich pigmentation is also a must if you want to create dramatic and intense makeup looks. Most pigments either have a glitter or shimmer finish, as opposed to matte, as pigmented shadows are primarily designed for bold evening and party looks.


M.A.C Cosmetics Pigment is a popular choice. A makeup artist staple, M.A.C Cosmetics Pigments are portable and infinitely blendable. Easy to blend and apply, they come in an iconic shade range. 


Another favourite loose glitter eyeshadows is the MAKE UP FOR EVER Diamond Powder. Kryolan Satin Powder Sparkling Eye Dust is a bestselling loose powder shimmer eyeshadow that can be applied sheer for a subtle highlight or built up to a bold shimmer look.
