MAC Cosmetics Pigment is a loose powder eyeshadow that can be used to create a sheer wash of color, or layered to provide more intense color payoff. Pigments are usually used on the eyelids, but can also be used for cheeks and face. They are one of MAC’s most popular products, and are bought as collectors items by MAC enthusiasts everywhere.
A full sized jar of MAC Pigment will last for an extremely long time since a little dab of the powder is all you need. Since each container lasts so long, you want to be sure you are getting a color you will really use. Computer images can be deceiving, so trying an actual Pigment sample can help ensure you end up with a shade you actually like before you go through with the purchase of a full size jar.
MAC Pigment samples are usually available from someone who buys full sized jars and then either sells, or offers for free, 1/4 teaspoon sized samples of their original container. Since pigments currently cost about $22 per jar, it’s definitely worth your while to test out a few shades before you decide which ones to actually purchase.
Hurray for our UK readers. This little freebie offer is especially for you. This one does require participation, but these hard to find MAC samples make it worth it. To get the sample, click on the box to your right and follow the instructions. Enjoy!

If you don’t live near a MAC Cosmetics counter, here is another way for you to sample different MAC Pigment colors. Makeup Geek has samples available for almost all of the Pigment shades. The site does charge a few dollars per sample, but it still a better option for some when comparing it to just guessing which MAC Pigment shade to order and hoping you like it once it arrives.
Each MAC Cosmetics Pigment sample is a 1/4 teaspoon size tester. Each one comes in a clear, screw top container, labeled with the corresponding shade.
