I've had the opportunity to play with these items from the new Makeup Art Cosmetics Marilyn Minter collection, and I would have to say that I was underwhelmed with the collection. I already have the prettiest pigment of the bunch, Cocomotion, a dirty gold bronze with gold pearl. It looks amazing on the crease and outer V with a lighter color on the lid. The rest are just so-so for me.
Brash & Bold is a bold magenta pigment that would look great mixed with some clear nail polish for a wonderful color on the nails, but on the eyes, it's a bit too bright for me, unless used just a teeny bit and mixed with other colors to lend some magenta pop to the peepers.
Heritage Rouge is a dirty brown plum that I also already have from a previous collection. It's a nice staple pigment that can be used both for neutral or dramatic looks.
Push the Edge is a deep bright purple with pearl. It's similar to Entremauve but the latter is deeper, darker, and classier, in my opinion. I didn't like the fact that Push the Edge has pearl, because it ruined the color for me.
Reflects Glitters and the Glitters are NOT eye-safe, so please do not use them for the eyes. They can be used to mix with nail polish, hair spray or gel, for the skin like the shoulders and decolletage, but the eyes are a no-no.
Reflects Copper is described as a sparkling saffron, Reflects Rust is a sparkling warm red, Gold Glitter is sparkly chunky gold that looks cheap in my opinion, and Fuchsia Glitter is sparkling fuchsia. As you can tell, I have no love for these glitters.
All in all, I think the worthy buys in this collection are the pigments. If you have to choose, I suggest get Cocomotion and Push the Edge, although for me, the only must-have item in this collection is Cocomotion. It's a beautiful pigment and you will enjoy one full jar for many years to come (or you can always split it up with a friend). I will come up with a look using this pigment in the coming posts.
