I love illamasqua and this product works just as it says it does. I bought 2 illamasqua pigments in alluvium and ore and they are gorgeous!

Fantastic product. I applied it to my brush then picked up a pink MAC pigment and applied it to my eyelid. Lasted all day and even gave the colour more depth.

I am in love with this little gem. I mainly use this with my Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake to make them stay put all day and honestly I don't know how I coped with my brows before I bought this product.
The only downside to this is that once you apply it to an eyeshadow it kind of foils over if that makes sense making it not usable unless you add sealing gel over it again so if you can just stick to using it in one area with eyeshadows, the eyebrow cake doesn't bother me as I only ever really use sealing gel with my eyebrow cake anyway.
Overall I love this product and what you can do with it, love the packaging too.

I'm giving this product 5 lipsticks for doing what it claims to do - make pigments more vibrant/intense and stay put once they are applied. And for this reason I will repurchase.

However it must be forewarned that it KILLS pigment in that once the product has dried it is utterly useless (like coloured colourless powder, if that makes sense) unless you mix the Sealing Gel into it again. The first time I used it I watched the video where the MUA drops the gel into the eyeshadow so not knowing how else I should go about doing it that's what I did too. Thankfully I only dropped one tiny drop on one tiny corner of my eyeshadow pan, so that's the only part that I now cannot use without the Sealing Gel. This wouldn't happen on loose pigments because you can mix the gel away in a separate container, but if mixing in pressed pigments try not to pour too much into your pan and only drop in one small corner so you wouldn't spoil the rest unless you intend to use the Sealing gel each time you use the product. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I threw this into an order wondering if it would come in handy.
Well it will convert ANYTHING into a usable cosmetic for say, lining the eyes or fixing glitter. It must be from the makeup pro repertoire and I think MAC has something similar.
Recommended for converting those crap eyeshadows from the supermarket into something useful! (I'm too much of a purist to put wet stuff into my pigments, but I did see on a blog someone using a little watercolour painters' palette to mix the dry and wet).
