MAC Cosmetics - PRO Lanches Neon Pigments
Posted On: 06/5/08
Posted in: By MAC Cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics, Summer 2008
MAC PRO launched six new neon pigments that are matte in texture! (Thanks to Krasevayadancer for these images!) Unfortunately, SF PRO is closed for the night (I always order through them, because then the package arrives next day, practically!), but I did call up South Coast Plaza PRO (makes me miss living in Irvine — cause you know your girl would be driving there right now!) to get color names! Since I own so many pigments, I imagine I’ll probably order them all tomorrow morning. Whether I’ll wear them is a different story. Â
What about you? Would you wear these?
- Red Electric
- Full Force Violet
- Green Space
- Neo Orange
- Magenta Madness
- Kick-It Yellow
Check out three swatches…

Just call up your nearest PRO store! They should ship it to you :D It’s like $7-8 to ship.

I love bright colors! These are very intriguing!
Christine

I’m interested to see how well they go on! I don’t love the matte texture so much, but the colors call to me!

any idea which/if any are eye safe?
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Hey Laura! I totally didn’t ask. I want to say that there’s a definite possibility that the red/fuchsia ones aren’t, but the others may be. I will try to remember to ask tomorrow!

How can one buy these :)
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Definitely call up your nearest PRO store and have them to ship it to you, that should work!

lala
Thursday, June 5, 2008

Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
I know, they are soo bright. Everyone will look at me CRAZY! for wearing them.
Tammy

The yellow one is Kick-It Yellow, I’m pretty sure.
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Ohh, thanks, Tammy!!

Cool…but will never wear them. I don’t like matte pigments cuz they feel so chalky. Phew…one less thing I have to spend money on.
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
I know, right? I am hoping that these are matte like True Chartreuse, which is matte and yet heavenly.

Thursday, June 5, 2008
I just love these kind of colors ^^. They’re so bright and pretty. I definetely would wear them.
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Nice :) Which one do you think would be your must-have?
angie
Thursday, June 5, 2008
I would like to have them all!! But the must-have ones are the space green (I love green)and the pink swatch (I don’t now if it’s magenta madness or red electric. I love those two colors!
Christine
Thursday, June 5, 2008
lol!! I love greens, too :) I am all over the green and blue, for sure!

You lived in Irvine?? I live there too! Well, only on the weekends, but I grew up there.
& I love the MAC store at South Coast (: hehe

I went to UC Irvine for three years :) LOVED Irvine, wasn’t so keen on anywhere else (what can I say, nothing like a pseudo-planned community, no homeless people, streets with 50+mph speed limits…).
My favorite MAC counter was @ Macy’s Newport Beach (totally blanking on the mall’s name).

I have been dreaming of a hot pink pigment for ages! I’m kinda sad that they are matte, though. I’m gonna have to play with them first before I get my hopes up.
:)

Matte and not eye safe :(
Zsofi
Friday, June 6, 2008
How nice vibrant colors!!!!
If only there would be a PRO store in Hungary!!!!
not a bad business idea to open one here :-)
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Thank you, Zsofi! They should totally open one there!

I love bright colours but I can’t see how I could make these look good and not just weird to be honest.
The only one I’d even try to use is the green because I think with a much more muted green it could look quite dramatic.
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I think it’s possible, but you probably end up muting some of the colors, at least! Like bright yellow on the inner lid would be just fine to wear.

This reminds me of my Kryolan Neon Aquacolor… Which I bought and have yet to use lol
BTW, hey. I’ve been lurking for awhile and never commented :-)
( I NEVER buy MAC….. But I’m a makeup artist who really really likes your looks, so props to you!!! They are so well done and I love the color combinations you come up with. Especially the really really bright ones (that’s how I usually do my makeup, strong bright colors) )
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
lol, Tatti! I haven’t tried it, though I’ve heard of it.
Thank you so much! What brand(s) do you use?
Tatti
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I use Sacha, Arista, Bellapiére and Medusa’s Makeup (both mineral and GREAT) that’s for the shadows. Anything else I just do trial and error! I opened a blog but haven’t written anything into it so I won’t link it just yet :-)
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Got it! I haven’t heard of any of those, lol. I hope to see your blog soon!

Nope i would not wear them.
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Too bright for you, Lisa? Or are you not a fan of matte pigments?
Jennifer
Friday, June 6, 2008
They are cool colors, but I’m not daring enough - wouldn’t wear them :)
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
lol, Jennifer! I feel you - these are quite a bit bright even for me :)
Kell
Friday, June 6, 2008
These are faaaaaaabulous! To die for; I’d rock them! I’d love to have them all. They’d add such amazing dimension to looks. My fav would be to add one of them to a totally neutral look.. like pale lips, nude shimmery eyes, perfect looking skin.. and a POP of fluorescence!!
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Awesome, Kell!! I want to see you do some looks with these :D
jenn
Friday, June 6, 2008
They are NOT eyesafe according to what I’ve read so far. I’m pretty sure I saw that they aren’t even lipsafe.
LOL, I really hate them.
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Ughhh, doesn’t that just suck the wind right out of your sails?
Jenny
Friday, June 6, 2008
hmm.. I’m definitely not a fan of these neon colors. It already looks chalky :(
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I hope they’ll go on better! We’ll see.
Cassie
Friday, June 6, 2008
I called the San Fran store and they don’t have the pigments in yet!! They gave me a 1-800 number to find out the launch date and if they will be available online as well as in the pro stores. But they don’t have a launch date yet! The lady on the phone said they are being “very secretive about it.” Does anyone know the launch date?
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Nope, they don’t :( In California, only South Coast Plaza has them (well, as of yesterday morning), but they didn’t have Kick-It Yellow. Vegas and Texas @ North Park have them, too…

when are these going to be released? are the LE?
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
They’re released in some PRO stores now, other PRO stores later. I believe they are permanent.
Ashley
Friday, June 6, 2008
LOVE the colours but I don’t like matte p/m. Plus if they aren’t eye-safe, I can’t justify the cost.
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I’m hoping they’re like True Chartreuse, ’cause I love that color and it’s matte, lol.
hillary
Saturday, June 7, 2008
i want these soo bad!
eyesafe or not, i’d wear them. they look amazing
i love bright colors and i prefer matte eyeshadows, idk. i think its strange that people dont like them…
Christine
Saturday, June 7, 2008
lol, Hillary!! What’s your favorite color out of the six? Mattes tend to be harder to work with, plus sometimes they go on chalky :(
Melissa
Saturday, June 7, 2008
Does anyone know if these are eyesafe or not (yet)? :)
Christine
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
So far… not eyesafe :(
Kell
Sunday, June 8, 2008
Not eye-safe? wtf.. That’s a downer. If I did a ton of makeup for like theater or something, then they’d be great and worth it for the face and body.. but if I were to get them for me, I’d definitely want them to be eye-safe cuz I wouldn’t use them anywhere else..
Christine
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Hey Kell! I know, isn’t it? Ugh!
Emily
Sunday, June 8, 2008
OMG I want. Why aren’t they on the pro website though? I’m a member and I couldn’t find - I guess they’ll probably release them there after they’ve released them in more stores.
Christine
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I don’t know yet, Emily. There doesn’t seem to be an actual release date for this, it’s so weird!

Are you KIDDING- I have been waiting a lifetime for these colors. I bet the red/pinks would make fabulous blush, and I will use these colors as a base to mix up eyeshadow colors.
If they are not eyesafe, I will test them over a protective base- I have learned how to use Bright Fuchsia for accents and stuff so it does not irritate eyes.
This is great!
Christine
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I knew they’d be up your alley, Capri!!
Angi
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Can’t imagine a use for these so it’s a pass for me. Well, I can imagine a use if you did theater or were a clown. But not for me.
Christine
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
It would be interesting to see these used on the body!
Lily
Monday, June 16, 2008
oooh i want these so bad.
i could use them as nailpolish oooooh and eyeliner…and for hair stencilling. hmmmmmmmmmmmMMMmmmmm to purchase or not to purchase…
Christine
Monday, June 16, 2008
Oh, hair stenciling! That sounds fun!
Lily
Monday, June 16, 2008
it is pretty fun :) it’s cool if you’re going to a party or themed party or club or something. just take a stencil, have a sleek hairdo like a bun or ponyfail, and on the flatter bit of hair, use th stencil with glitter or pigment or whatever float your boat (obviously it halps to use gel or wax to hold the glitter/pigment on!)
Christine

Thanks so much for giving me a how-to lesson ;)

i would wear the green, yellow, and hot pink one if they were all eye safe. OF COURSE not together but I would wear them separately. I LOVE bright colors.
Christine
Monday, June 30, 2008
It’s unfortunate that they’re not eye safe!

Besides Mac’s Bright Fuchsia pigment is brighter than the hot pink swatch….i was expecting BLACKLIGHT pigments. That’s neon.
