Illamasqua Pigment on Dark Hair
So remember when I did that post on using Illamasqua cream pigments as temporary hair colour? Well there were a heap of comments wondering if it would work on dark hair…
Well I managed to coerce Celeste into being my guinea pig and giving it a try out, here are our results!
So in short the answer is YES! It is indeed opaque enough to be used on dark/black hair. The main difference is that I had to pay more attention to where I was putting it so it didn’t get everywhere, mistakes show up more easily. The colour was just as vibrant on dark hair, though we didn’t leave it to dry long enough before I used the straightener on her fringe so some of it wiped off. So the lesson is don’t be impatient like me!
Hope that answers all of your questions :D It was a fun experiment!
You can see Celeste’s post over here.
LOL it’s looks kinda white on my computer, so she looks like Rogue from the X-Men!
Haha that’s a totally cool look too XD I think the lighting cancelled out a lot of the blue tones unfortunately >_<
Mwahahaha thank you I finally know what to do wih my cream eyeshadows!!!
On the srceen I actually looks kinda grey, but I can’t wait to try!
Yeah I think the lighting cancelled out a lot of the blue tones unfortunately >_< You should totally try~

Ah! I’m so happy that it works on darker hair~ I now have an excuse to buy illamasqua cream pigments!
I know, it’s kind of addictive buying though XD
Great idea! I would love to see this with a bright pink or blue shadow! The light purple color used made it look a bit gray.
Yeah I think the lighting cancelled out a lot of the blue tones unfortunately >_< I'll have to see what other colours I can come up with!
I love it! I tried this about two weeks ago with a hot pink shade, and I loved it so much that I decided to dye a pink stripe in my hair.
Omg that is so awesome!!
