I like this pigment for a highlight and since that is what I bought it for....PERFECT!

It is a little chunky but not as bad as the new white as snow pigment in the 2011 christmas dazzlespheres. With a good smudge brush it goes on well and has a nice glittery payout. Tis a keeper!

This pigment is OK for highlighting if you have nothing else to use.... really it is too flaky and therefore it doesnt adhere well to the skin, colour payoff isnt great, and its prone to fallout.
Better pigments instead of this one would be pigments in White or Vanilla.
I wouldn't purchase this pigment again, and I certainly don't advise anyone to waste their money on this product.

Okay I think this is only useful for Halloween or something because I can't imagine using this in real life. Like everyone else, it's too chunky and completely useless. I gave mine away.

This pigment is too chunky, glittery, and fallout-y to be of much use to anyone. That being said, sometimes I will use a *TINY* bit as a highlighter, or on the inner corner of my eye as a brightener, always with the hopes that "maybe THIS time I will like this product!"....usually never happens. This reminds me of Urban Decay's loose pigment in Yeyo; which is not that great, but much better than Frost.

The worst pigment i EVER purchased its more like a glitter, i would not recommend anyone buy this in full size its a waste of money, i cant wait to get rid of it in samples, because the only thing this pigment is worth is the b2m i can get with the empty jar.

All I could say is OMG I will not buy this one again. It’s too clumpy and falls off like I have dandruff of something. I am sure there is a better use for this, but my use was in the dump and recycle!

This is one very chunky and glittery pigment. I was concerned about the brightness on my NC-45 skin tone so I used Paula Dorf's Transformer and applied it as a liner on my upper lashline with Silver Fog pigment on the lid. This is a beautiful look. Frost reminds me of Silverstroke fluidline when used as a liner. I'm also going to mix some of this in sample jars with other colors to give them a Wow factor. Not sure if I will ever wear this color alone as my lid color.

Frost was one of the first pigments I bought. I rarely reach for it these days as it's very chunky in texture and can flake easily. Can make for an interesting lid if used wet but I prefer to use something that takes a lot less messing around with. I don't like it as a browbone highlight, which is what I originally bought it for. I reach for White pigment over this every time. It goes on more smoothly and looks better on.
Nice to have in my collection but not an essential unless you collect MAC pigments.

Frost is probably my favorite high lighter of all time, although it can be a little bit messy with fall out, the color and effect is worth the effort.

People can complain all day long on how hard it is to use, but look at the final product, it makes my skin shine like diamonds and opens my eyes up dramatically. It is totally worth the effort and although it is not something for everyone, nor is it right product for a person in a rush. If you have the time to really work and blend it in, the effect is really worth it

um...this is SO not a pigment...it's just A HOT GLITTERY MESS. A HOT GLITTERY MESS doesn't stay on one's brush, nor on one's skin. A HOT GLITTERY MESS was a waste of money.

I dislike Frost so much. There are not many pigments I don't like from MAC (scratch that, this is the only one I've encountered so far that I didn't like) but Frost just isn't worth anything in my opinion.

Looks so wintery and gorgeous in the jar, but try to apply it and what you get is a big fallout mess of glitter. There is almost no pay off for this pigment. For a beautiful white and frosty pigment, I think Frozen White is a much better choice.

I have a love/hate relationship with this pigment. I have tons of MAC pigments .. and this is one of those that I wouldn't want to be without .. but really have to in the right "mood" to use. Frost is a super shimmery metallic white shade, but it's one of the "chunkier" pigments, so there's a LOT of fall-out with this one. The only way I can use it without getting frustrated is to use it wet .. which is how it's the most beautiful! I just use this right above my lashline on my lid, and it opens up my eyes beautifully and just makes them dazzle. I love the shade of this pigment ..but i loathe the texture. A must have .. Yes .. but have a glass of wine before using it .. You need patience when using this pigment.

MAC Frost pigment is a very white fine glitter pigment that really shows like diamonds when it's on the skin. I have had my pigment now for about 10 plus years and it's nearly half full. A little goes a long way! I have used FROST under by eyes on the cheekbone just a bit to create a sparkly look when going out. It looks great under the eyebrow and in the corner of the eye as well to create a wide awake fresh look. In fact, I've even mixed it with my body lotion before which looks very pretty, too. This is probably the best value one can get. Tons of pigment, tons of shimmer and will last forever!!

I love frost pigment, especially for when I wear a smokey look I'll apply it on my inner corners and only a little on the brow bones only because this is very shimmery. It makes a great highlight. It's a very icy silvery white shade...kinda like a snow inspired color. It's very pretty and this pigment is one of the easier ones to apply. With blue colors...frost pairs well.

I thought this was a glitter not a pigment but still love it. Must use wet because of the chunkiness....i like to mix with Naked pigment to diffuse the chunkiness a bit. The color is phenom though! It only received a 4 because it is chunkier than it should be.

I own a full jar of this and I'm glad of it because I'm a a total pigment freak. That said, I've actually only ever swatched this because it is SO chunky. If you use a proper base and the right brush, it *is* workable, but you definitely have to know what you're doing with this. Not a pigment for beginners.

I'm a little on the fence with this one. Like others have stated, the glitter chunks in this pigment are ENORMOUS. That being said, Frost works well if applied with proper primer and base, and if patted on lightly in tiny amounts. I won't be repurchasing, but I will give this product some time before writing it off as entirely useless.

I actually like this pigment. I got it as part of the MAC Holiday 2008 "5 Cool Pigments" Little Darlings set.

It's a very bright, shimmery white. You definitely don't want to apply this in large swathes. But I find that, if use an eyeliner brush to apply a TINY TINY AMOUNT to the inner corner of my eyes and BLEND IT WELL, this is lovely. It makes me look bright-eyed and well-rested. It also makes my eyes look farther apart.

A little tiny bit goes such a long way that my small bottle is going to outlast the Galapagos tortoise the way it's going.

Oh my god--- Chunkerama!! This pigment is a nightmare. The only way I would ever appreciate this pigment is if I were going as a porn star to a dressing up party and wanted a quick fix makeup device to get the look pitch-perfect. This is the main reason I hated the 2008 little darling cool pigment set. This is the chunkiest messiest frostiest pigment out there. It is called Frost I know, but could it not have been a little smoother, did they have to go to such great lengths to simulate what crumbling a snowflake on your eyelid might feel like???
