    This is a nice color, very versatile that can be added to different colors to make different shades, but I just dislike pigments in general. They're messy and just plain annoying. If you like...

    I love this pigment, too. Very nice, pure color. Gives my eyes (brown) that extra zing. I also blend it with grey if I want a more subtle purple.

    I love this color. It's such a pretty metallic looking purple. I have to agree with other posters and reitterate that it has blue undertones. I like to use it wet and the color is even more...

    One of my favorite pigments. This is an intense violet that flashes a tad blue. Very pretty. I use this as an eyeshadow all the time. Love it!

    Violet is a gorgeous color. At first I was a bit scared because it is so bright and vibrant in the jar, but just a little on my eye area goes a long way. And as with all pigments, violet is very...

    I like to pair Violet with Pink Opal. Pretty color, but not my fave pigment colors.

    Violet is quite a true violet purple shade, with tons of shimmer. Not the most versatile or natural of Pigment shades, but definitely unique and beautifully striking. Great with brown or green eyes.

    Violet pigment is a frosty, true violet colour. Looks really pretty with my blue/green eyes. It's very shimmery. Colour can be layered for a deeper shade. I think it could be used on the lips...

    This is a great pigment, not incredibly versatile but very beautiful. The texture of this pigment is very smooth (unlike rose) and highly pigmented. A nice shimmery (not glittery like rose or...

    This is a bright purple medium purple shade. Definately a must have for a person who is into purples. I like pairing this with other pigments like pink pearl or frozen white.
