How do you use MAC pigments?
Mix a tiny bit of MAC pigment with the gloss and apply with a lip brush. Or, you can apply gloss to the lips, then dip your finger into the pigment and either pat or slick it over your lip gloss. This is also a great way to wear your matte lipsticks as a frost – just layer a sheer, frosty MAC pigment over it.
