Which is the best kind of eyeshadow - pressed or loose pigment?

And any pro's / con's for the pigment would be great!Which is the best kind of eyeshadow - pressed or loose pigment?
my personal favourite is loose!!!


loose shadow:


pros - the colour is so much intenser, easier to use wet than with pressed (when used wet, helps colour to apply more intense if its not as bright as you want ^_^), i find that it the product lasts so much longer than pressed, colour = what you get is what you see, it lasts longer on the lids in my opinion, majority of bright coloured makeup (which i love) comes in this form


cons - it can be messy when your in a hurry. but thats all the bad i can think of


pressed shadow:


pros - great for when you're in a hurry, great to learn with if you're new to makeup, can build up the colour intensity as much as you like, majority of colours are suitable for the colour-shy person, easy to carry around, normally comes in a palette (great for when you are saving money)


cons - the colour in the palette is not what you get sometimes, i hate the fact that if i swirl the brush too much there is some product wasted, most of them you have to use a white eyeliner to make the colour be the same as in the palette (which i dont like doing).


personally, i press some of my loose pigments so that if i'm in a rush, i can still have the shimmer and brightness but with time to spare. Which is the best kind of eyeshadow - pressed or loose pigment?
okay i LOVE loose pigment cuz the color goes on so much more intense.





pros of loose powder: intense color goes on rly well


cons: can be kinda messy and it can end up under your eyes when applying





pros of pressed: cleaner application, less messy


cons: color isn't as dark/bright as it appears in the palette
loose pigment seems to get a bit messy if u have to much on the brush and u do end up using alot more.tap the brush on the corner of the pot so that any loose pigment will fall back into that make sure you use a good base for a pigment or it will crease and look horrible.i like pressed as its not so messy and the colour goes on alot easier aswell test them out for urself though people like diffrent things
It depends on the look you want. I would say loose powder for evening as the colour is more dramatic and pressed for a daytime look as it is a lot more subtle and easier to use.
I prefer pressed, I always get loose pigment in the wrong places and find it harder to apply. Loose pigment, does have a better effect though, if done properly
I prefer my eye shadow pressed, also my blush - but mineral powder I prefer loose.
Pressed is so much better.


Loose pigment goes everywhere!
