Fyrinnae Fun

Last March, I made an entry about My Fabulous Fyrinnae Fix, and posted swatches of my Fyrinnae pigments. I tried them once or twice, then got waylaid by a bunch of other pigments I bought from other mineral makeup companies. I was cleaning my drawer and transferring my little pots in another tray which is more accessible to me in the morning, when I unearthed my precious little jars of Fyrinnae pigments. It then occurred to me that I had planned to buy a full-size jar (as if the uber-generous sample wasn't enough) of Macabre, a beautiful goldish rose that is so pretty as a wash. It is part of their Professional Color collection, and it's more pigmented (I don't need to foil it to achieve maximum color pay-off) and long-wearing compared to the regular pigments. Nonetheless, the regulars wowed me as well. Colors are really intense and I didn't feel the need to pack them on or use my mixing medium to bring forth the hues. Hey, how can a pigment called Sake and Sashimi go wrong? Or an eye color called Lousy Tip? Or OMGWTF? (You can use this pigment on a really bad day to match your mood.) I wonder who comes up with these names? I'd love to be a fly on the wall during one of Fyrinnae's Name That Pigment meetings. Here is a look using one batch of pigments I got from Fyrinnae.
