MAC Cosmetics - Neon2 Pigments Review, Swatches, Product Photos

MAC Cosmetics - Neon2 Pigments Review, Swatches, Product Photos

The Neon2 pigments are exactly that--NEON! They are day-glo, super bright, borderline-obnoxious (okay, maybe they ARE obnoxious) in terms of just how much color potency they have.
