Illamasqua Incite


Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Incite - £16.50 from Illamasqua

This is my pigment. I adore warm shades on my eyes opting for golds, browns and olive greens with iridescent, satin and matte textures so when I first laid my fingers on this at a counter I fell in love. It's a warm gold shimmer that looks slightly orange or bronze depending on the light and it's perfect for amping up with a dark matte shade or worn over lighter golds to deepen the colour. I can't honestly describe how beautiful it is to you and I'm urging you to go and swatch because GOD.

I use this with a dense pencil brush and usually use it before I apply my base as with it being a pigment there's enough fall out to cause an issue. I use this both wet for a foil effect on the lid and dry, mix it into burgundy nail varnish for a hint of something extra and I've even used it sparingly as a highlight on my very dark skinned friend who looked phenomenal in it. It's one of those tones that work on both light and dark skin if you pair it with the right shades and is such a showstopper with false lashes, a cat eye liner flick and deep red lipstick.

What do you think? Is this something you'd wear?
