Face of the Day: Metallic Pigments

Posted by in looks | 8 comments

I really wanted to experiment with the pigment samples I picked up a few weeks ago. The pigmentation is fantastic, even without a mixing medium the colour goes on opaque and completely metallic.

Again, even with the metallic eyes, I focused on a bronze glowing skin.
