Can anyone recommend a high pigment eye shadow?

The brand I've used for years has changed so I'm on the hunt now for a high impact, high pigmented replacement. Thanks.

I think the Becca brand has highly pigmented eye shadows. I like Bobbi Brown too, but Becca surpasses Bobbi for color pay-off. Lancome shadows are well pigmented too, but the majority of their shades have some type of sheen/shimmer. The matte shades are limited, but lovely. You may also want to consider drugstore brand NYX which has excellent pigment -- and a great shade range-- for inexpensive eyeshadow.

Agree on Lancome, good color payoff. My opinion Urban Decay and MAC are the best, also NARS is pretty good.

There is a lot of buzz about the visiart eyeshadow palletes. They are crazy expensive but are said that you don't have to build them and just a little goes a long way.

Another vote for Lancome eyeshadow. They have beautiful and new collections almost every season too!

Kiko Milano has lovely, highly pigmented, eyeshadows. Made in Italy, and reasonably priced, if you live on the east coast you can purchase from their store, or order on line -- no sales tax and free shipping when you've spent $15.00, and ships very quickly. I LOVE their products!

Bobbi Brown, Stila or Laura Mercier. They all have excellent shadows.

Lancôme, Urban Decay & Buxom are all highly pigmented.

Buxom has the advantage at either Sephora or Ulta of you bring able to customize a 6 shadow palette over the other two which don't have that option.

I chose matte shadows for 1 palette and for fun chose metallic ones for a 2nd palette. Sephora has more Buxom single shadow choices over Ulta. If you look at Sephora online, you can see all the color choices before you head to one. Their website shows all the color squares vs. Ulta where you have to scroll the shades.

@itsmetoo Can I ask what brand you were using? There are some wonderful eye shadows out there. It's a great time to love makeup with all of the choices that you have. Mac (always my favorite, but the singles more so than the recent palettes), Urban Decay, Tarte, Buxom, Anastasia Beverly Hills-for powder shadows. Mac Prolongwear, Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks, Bobbi Brown-if you are open to a cream shadow stick. It's best if you can test in person, if you aren't familiar with the brands because finishes/pigmentation can effect the way that different colors blend & wear.

I'm happy with Mac...they sell pallets with multiple colors, reasonably priced, or singles. I have several of both, and they're great. You can go to any Mac counter and get a free eye make over with instructions....then just buy what you like.

Juvia's Place eyeshadows are my new favorites. The pigmentation is beyond amazing and I have yet to meet a person who has tried them and not liked them. Last time I looked some of the palettes were on sale on their website.

Thank you all so much for the recommendations! I'm going to go to Sephora and check them out.

I just tried some Sephora Kat Von D and found them to be highly pigmented very blendable. Very nice.

NARS ... great brand.

I think that Mally has very highly pigmented eye shadows. I have several of her eye shadow pallettes, and I really like them-very good color payoff..I also have a Benefit eye shadow pallette and it also has a high color payoff....

Colourpop brand. $5 per shadow - cheaper when they have kit sales.

Viseart (spendy), Wet N Wild (amazing), Anastasia, Kat Von D, Lorac (kicks up dust), Makeup Geek (very reasonable but online only), most Urban Decay, ,most NYX singles, Inglot (in some of the larger Macy's or online), Jeffree Star and Juvia's Place. For the money, the more recent Morphe palettes are hitting it out of the park and you can't beat the price or variety.
