Illamasqua Alluvium Pure Pigment Review, Photos, Swatches
Illamasqua Alluvium Pure Pigment
Illamasqua Art of Darkness: Alluvium
Illamasqua Alluvium Pure Pigment ($24.00 for 0.04 oz.) is just like Ore: beyond gorgeous when you see it in person, but it just doesn’t photograph quite the same way. It’s a metallic medium-blue with a violet-blue tinge and flecks of multicolored shimmer.
I actually did a look with Ore on the lid and Alluvium in the crease, and it was such a lovely combo, but the photos make it look like garbage. I’ll have to see what I can do about the lighting situation and find a way to capture the brilliance of both of these shades in a photo. Hopefully it stays sunny for the rest of the week!
If these were a better value, I’d try making a nail polish with Alluvium–seems like it be a gorgeous shade for nails. (You can read my quantity/price ratio and packaging griping here.)

Product & Review FAQ

Sephora ($24) or Illamasqua (£15.00).
Is this permanent?
Yes, I believe so. I could not find anything on Illamasqua's site that indicated limited edition.

It’s a beautiful color but I must say that after looking at the first photo, I was expecting that the color be way darker!
I too thought it would be darker and more purple.
Woah, that is not what I expected that to look like swatched.
Speaking of using pigment to make nail polish, how do you do it? (I just bought my first MAC pigment a couple of weeks ago and was wondering how on earth to get through that jar.) I know you use clear polish but how do you advise mixing? Or getting the pigment in the bottle?
I just pour the pigment in gently, or you could use a toothpick to push it in, and I use the brush to stir, then roll the bottle.
Hello gorgeous!!!
Love the color… I wish there was more product in the jar, though…
But, but it looks so PURPLE and lovely in the pan! I really like that packaging with the beetles.
Looks so pretty. Wish I could get that here!!
It’s a shame Illamasqua pigments are such a lousy value. They’re pretty, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much on so little product.
Gorgeous gorgeous color! Loving it.
That is very pretty and I like the colourful shimmer in it.
Wow, that´s Beautiful
amazing color!!
