I just bought a stackable set (5) of this. I mainly bought it because there was a lovely matte black colour in it. The other colours range from dark grey to white. Those, however are definitely not matte. They are very shimmery/glittery/metallic. I would've prefered more matte colours.

However, they are very high quality. They go on very well and I LOVE the black one. It goes on very opaque and I use it as a liner as well. The other colours are just as good. The dark grey has grown on me even if it's the most sparkly of the bunch.

Highly recommended.

I'm amazed at how cheap these are!
The other reviews are absolutely right - they're only a fraction of the price for MAC's pigments. Sure, their range is smaller, but they've got some really nice greens and blues, apart from neutrals (and one scary-bright pink).
I got Shade 35, sort of a tan/shimmer. It's decently pigmented - though there's more shimmer in there than colour, and SUPER light reflecting.
It's powdery, so there are the usual problems of trying to put it on your eye without it spilling over to cheeks or elsewhere. I'd recommend you mix it with a tiny drop of transparent gel or eye cream if you're going to wear it neat (i.e. no foundation or concealer on the eye) and smudge the thing on.
They're also selling them in individual boxes here (Mumbai) so I didn’t have to invest in a whole tower of many shades. But the packaging isn't spill proof. I have a feeling I’m going to waste more product than I will use.

UPDATE: Container fine! No Spillage. The only excess product I was complaining about was from the plastic wrapping.
Went out and got the Stackables in Earth. Five shades: Deep bronze, tan, orangey peach, yellow and white. All with shimmer.
Peach, blended with a cream = great blush. Bronze, blended with a cream = very dramatic metallic eye. Yellow dusts as gold. Tan = brow/cheek highlighter. White dusts as silver.
I don't care if you can't carry them separately. I like the whole stack.
Best part, they're running some sort of discount deal here so the thing only cost me Rs 350 or US$ 7.5!
That deserves another lippie, taking our total to 5. If MUA gave me another lippe, I'd award it in a heartbeat..

I love this stuff. I have the tower of 8 with the white, blue, iridescent white, bronze, green, mauve, pink and violet dusts. While they are pigmented, they are still very wearable, like to work or to lunch with a friend as well as to a nightclub. The sparkle dust goes on like silk and stays on all day. The only complaint I have is that the tower is annoying because they don't have individual lids so it's difficult if not impossible to take more than one color with you without having to bring the whole tower. I wish they had made the tower with individual lids that simply locked together like legos but, oh well. Still an amazing product for a very reasonable price.

amazing shades and definately comparable to MAC pigments! super easy to apply and with the right base, they last all day and give amazing colour and shine. the tubs/stacks that they come in are a bit annoying but for the price, they're an awesome deal. i find the best base for them is the faces body bling--makes them vibrant and last all day.

I like these better than MAC pigments. I find them easier to apply and wear. And I love the wet look shimmer that they have.
Very cheap too. $11CDN for a full size or $21CDN for a stack of 5 smaller ones.
My only complaint is that the colours are pretty standard and boring, and they never get anything new.

This product is amazing! I got 8 pigments for 21,50$. The colors are beautiful. I have a fuschia, a rose, a white-green, a white rose, a turquoise, a blue, a grey lilac and a purple a little like Trax of MAC. I love it! And less pricey than MAC, only one MAC pigment is 22$ and I got 8 colors for less of this price. IM so happy with this stuff. Thank you FACES!!!

I bought Lola and Bambi from Benefit for $19CAD/each before I came across this brand and I felt riped off because I could of bought $10/each, $16/5, or $20/8 at Faces. The texture of the shimmers are equally as smooth and fine and the colour is as vibrant. The only thing Faces doesn't have is a colour like Bambi with is an irresdescent yellowish pink. But I decided to return the two from Benefit and purchased the $20/8 which has a range of purple, violet, pink, green, blue, bronze, and white. I also bought the fuschia and yellow so that I can mix the colors together to achieve some different looks and also get the Bambi colour from Benefit for a cheaper price!
