[amandamarie231]

[laxc0n3jita]

this video was made in 2007.....

wow..I'm confused...

[Week4Fashion]

nope it came out 2007. it got realesed like everyone found out in 2009/2008

[teamcullen139]

no the music video came out and she reput the song on her new cd,. that song was on the blackout cd and now its on circus:)

[x0nene0x]

omgsh i know right..... wierrrd?

[readysetjake]

@peteWENTZisHOT25 LOL no it didn't.

Radar was part of Britney's "blackout" album, which came out in October 2007, it was slated to be the 4th single from the album, but they never did. So she RE-released it as a bonus on Circus, so she could finally promote it as a single.

[HowDoIFortune]

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM??

[terencexgrimmjow]

o i luv that song!

i wus wondering y it wus so familiar

[XxCarlierocks18xX]

[LadyGaGaIsAMAZING]

i love your hair colour mine more cherryier

[thebeautycrew1]

omg mi fav song in backrond `radar`

[DecemberMarie]

I've also heard pigments can be mixed with clear nail polish to make different color polishes and am curious to know how well it works.

[XxAwesomeActressxX]

i've done this before and it does work!

you can use andy loose shimmer/powder/shadow/pigment and it will stil work. juicystar07 has a video on pigments as well where she shows how to make it into nail polish, i found it quite helpful

[omgitsjennxox]

yep. juicystar07 has a video on it. ;D

[clairz29]

radar is on in the background and it just started playing on the radio and this video was filmed like 2 years ago.

[irishchewy13]

please if u can make a vid about avoding a face mask. i have bad acne and i have to wear foundation and i alway get a mask no matter how much i blend or change color.

[littlemissism]

can you make a vid on how to turn down really realy really red cheeks

[JenasisDivine]

Ok 2 questions.....

1) Are the MAC products on Brush III real MAC? That is a concern for me since I saw the tutorial on fakes.

2) If you are just starting your MAC collection..what color eyeshadows would you recommend starting with?

[makeuphomieally]

no the brushes arent i got them and i dont think there worth it =[

[relaximdointhis]

1. Yes they are fake.

2. Gesso, Vanilla Pigment, embark, naked lunch, carbon, and swiss chocolate....after that get into your bright colors. start off neutral though.

[FunkyMunky2442]

The gloss was so pretty! Because you used a yellow tinted gloss, it had a golden sheen.

[MrsDavidiot]

where can i get that clear lip gloss to mix with pigments???

[whenpigsfly14]

Mac sells clear lipglass in a tube for mixing pigments with.

[MrsDavidiot]

thank you.

[xXValPal100Xx]

You can also put some on a clean mascara brush after applying your mascara to add a color or a shimmer to your lashes :)

[thelumbahjack]

oh my god! what the hell???? that britney song is THAT old???

[pebbles987]

well yh its off her blackout album .........

[columbinecassie]

LOVE the necklace!

[9090877ss]

it's actually a bargin at 20 dollars. just think.

your buying:

an eyeshadow

a lipgloss

a highlight(depending on the color)

a blush(depending on the color)

and glitters for your hair.

thats about four dollars for each thing and it's actually a reasonable price if all of those were bought seperate.

[bluediamondxo]

a dollar? actually, it could be 12 dollars+ if you're buying all those things MAC!

so yeah, those ARE big bargains.

[Amandaxlemon]

also you can mix it in clear nail polish so that also haha

[Victorian9322]

Where did you get that necklace?

[teefrmdabay]

a store

[xxMMECxx]

when i went to aussie, they had mac foundatio for about $80 , only $ 20 herre in US . but comprable to otehr department store brands , it is less pricy .

[mypridebowl]

you know. here in singapore, an eyeshadow cost $26 and a pigment cost $33. it's like double the cost due to the currency ):

[Mokambigai]

i know..tell me abt it...but i always buy pigment samples...on shopcraze..cos samples can last u a long time..and if i really like it..ill prob buy the full jar..:):)

[ResseGirls21]

how would you use it in nail polish?

[justlikeEmma]

clear polish

[loverlyxcore]

This is probably somewhere in your 400 comments on this video, but how would you go about using a pigment for nail polish?

[justlikeEmma]

using clear nail polish

[loverlyxcore]

I mean, would you mix it into the bottle or what?

[justlikeEmma]

im not sure, you could try a petri dish or cd but it could dry, or you could paint your nails with the clear polish and put the pigments on top?

[MALBABYYYx]

you would take the clear nailpolish and add a little on a plastic plate and add the pigment on top and mix it and then you can use the same brush from the bottle or you can buy a nail brush from any beauty store.

[BlondieTygur527]

you paint your nails with any color then apply it on top...or if the nail polish bottle has that little ball thingy in it you can just pour it in there if you want

[amhanfi]

how much was your bag

[mimgrace]

would using a mixing medium help with using pigments? or is water suitable?

[WrappedInRain]

ill answer your question ... : )when it comes to mineral makeup i perfer a mixing medium.Water is fine but i find it a little chunky when i apply it.. enkor(sp?) has a video on how to make your own mixing medium

[amandasweet]

i hear britney in the background...

[Tiffany7002]

You can make liquid eyeliner with it too. Vaseline I think you use:)

I have Bella Pierre pigment.......soo yahh. :)

[foryewon]

thanks for the info~

[filly0909]

I LOVE JUICY COUTOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xjtluvrx]

can you use pressed eyeshadows as lipcolor as well? like mix a little powder with somegloss?

[ColourMeCaroline]

yes u can :)

[leahbear8323]

Just be careful, some colours of the pigments you can't use on the lip area.

[thelumbahjack]

@leahbear8323 like what?! please warn me!

[TashaLovesyourface]

@leahbear8323 awk shush. No one cares.

[ThePurpleLime]

I heard oyu can also make nail polish with pigments. I've never tried though

[WickersGirl06]

yeh i put a bit onto a little plate or whatever and then put the brush with clear nail polish into the pigment is pics up the colour really well and goes on really nicely!

[itsapassionnotahobby]

lol i do the lipgloss thing too!

[tooprettyfor]

i dont know what a pigment is D:

[omgpickles]

A pigment is basically loose eyeshadow. its not pressed into a coin-like shape, its just like powder (or sand or something, its a little chunkier than powder would be)

a lot of makeup companies have them, but call them so many different things (MAC's are 'pigments', some companies have 'eyeshadow dust' or something)

[tooprettyfor]

hey thanks for that info =]

[TheMakeupChick]

this is a great way to use pigments! could you use vasaline?

[TheVeryCoolLoser]

Yeah you can i tried so and it works awesome-ly lol =]

[TheMakeupChick]

Thanks I'll try it! :)

[SimplySLoan]

it seems like with Vasaline, they would crease..

[WickersGirl06]

i find if you put a translucent powder in underneath it doesn't crease.

[MonikaLoveYouM]

@ CloWnFiShycm....you can use one eye drop to make you're pigments wet.

Put one drop one the back off you're hand,and mix it with the loose pigment.

Works a lot better than water. :)

I love the MAC pigments!! Bye bye.

[CloWnFiShycm]

what do you use with the pigments(as eyeshadow) to make them wet? ;)

[makeupgirlyea]

do u know any cheap pigments cause i really dnt want to t buy the exspenzive mac ones

[Freakanzoy]

A lot of people also sell samples online so you don't have to buy a full pot.

You usually get about a teaspoon full, which will still last quite a long time!

Mine were €3,- per colour, but you'll just have to look what will work for you ;)

Gosh Effect Powders are one of my favourite pigments aswell.

[omgpickles]

Go to a MAC counter and ask for a sample, maybe?

I have one from QUITE awhile ago. i dont use it often, mind you, but a sample can last a few applications at least, and you still get the quality and get a 'taste' of them, so to speak.

Or you can look through your local Shoppers Drugmart or something, a lot of other brands have similar products.

[NCangemi]

That necklace is insane where did you get that?

[OneTwoTeeHee]

your hair looks stunning here! :DDD

[chryyyst]

Cool ideas! I might try some!

[shesquaint]

i hear britney spears! radarrr <333 you are the best. lol. and i love your videos! :]

[trouble7043]

you have sexy lips ;)

[LisaFreemontStreet]

THose lips are beautiful!

[equilebrium]

OMG! mac is so cheap in the U.S!!!!

It's like, 40 something dollars for a pigment in australia/new zealand

[erinhct]

mac is not cheap in the U.S... its a really expensive makeup brand

[LadyVonDiva]

mac is a top quality makeup.

you get what you pay for.

there isnt a price on beauty.

[erinhct]

whatever

[chryyyst]

It's an average priced department store brand....I would not say it a "really expensive"...clearly, you are limited on your knowledge of make-up brands to make a statement like that....

[erinhct]

its deffinatly NOT average priced. It really expensive to me and millions of other people. I NEVER SAID IT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MAKEUP BRAND. Duh :-P

[xsparkage]

she said for department store brand. and shes right, mac is actually one of the cheapest brands as far as high end makeup goes.

[erinhct]

i know i wasnt talking about high end makeup

[chryyyst]

I didn't say that you said that. I quoted YOU above from your other comment....

And yeah, still average priced....why don't you step in a department store and do your research.

[erinhct]

im not talking about comparing mac to other brands!!!!!! IT IS EXPENSIVE.

[chryyyst]

I'm not going to bother arguing with you anymore. It's clearly not making sense.

[OneTwoTeeHee]

well i know, i know, you get what you pay for... you definitely do with MAC. but i do still think 20 bucks is a lot of money! so i agree with you there. :) lol

[OneTwoTeeHee]

why oh why did my message not show up as a reply to erinhct :/

[jazzyroxhardcore]

that is so cool! i was wondering how 2 use mine!!

[xonagxo2]

Awesome hair color!

[baschmuschi]

you can mix any pigment into nailpolish. looks amazing! best is to use clear polish, or a color simular to the pigment color. enjoy ;-)

[sarahadamsxo]

you remind me of nicole richie

[imaginarygoddess66]

she kinda looks like rene..the twolha girl..

[erinhct]

ahahah

[simoneeightysix]

I think her hair is awesome!

[BrightestStarOfAll]

Love your necklace <3

[HesterPrynnne]

I like to think I'm good at doing my makeup, and your videos give me even more great ideas! Your bangs are super cool, by the way. Nice job! :)

[GMTgirls]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR

[yasmin2893]

oh!

Radar by Britney Spears!

love it!!!

;-P

[pinklumpysugar23]

Do you buy pigment samples or you just get the full size ones? If you do, what sites do you recomend?

[girlyx1989]

good ideas! :)

[pinklumpysugar23]

I think you can use it on your feet with strappy sexy shoes!!! Cool :)

[ukehimesama]

clear mascar with pigment

[eugie73]

I just tried what you said with the body spray with province colored pigment. It looks amazingly pretty. Very sparkly. Perfect for the holiday season.

[XRobinRainbowX]

i tried mixing rose into vaseline and it was terrible!I mean it looked too shiny and weird. idk

[ErinLovesMAC]

You mentioned that you can use any pigment color as a lip color or any pigment color as an eyeshadow color and that's not true. Some pigments are not safe to use on the lips and some are not safe to use on the eyes. Just thought everyone should know. :) Safety first.

~Erin~

[priyajatti]

thatsz what i was about to write :P

[mackenziemmeola]

That's really cool.

I didn't realize how versatile they are.

I love your necklace btw.

It's Betsey Johnson, right?

she's my favorite designer everrrr.

[caileydawnosaur]

I've actually used Rose Pigment as a blush today and i got sooo many compliments on it. It has a beautiful shimmer to it. It all depends on how much you use :) I've applied it to my lips too, it's gorgeous.

[srflamenco]

Did you mix the pigment with any sort gel or liquid for the blush, or did you just apply the pigment directly to the cheek?

[caileydawnosaur]

i took a small contour brush (somewhat like Mac's #168 Brush)and sprayed it once with Mac's Fix+ and i dipped the tip of my brush in, only getting a LITTLE BIT on, and i just dotted it very very lightly on my cheeks, then i blended it in (trust me, a little bit goes a long way with this pigment on your cheeks) and if i needed more, i never sprayed the rush again, i just applied more pigment.. but you don't need much. you can always add more if you need to :)

[sharra34]

cool hair

[meghanmessuga]

that colour looks gorgeous on you :) (rose lips)

[Merocka144]

pigments can also be used as nail color

just mix the pigment with clear nail polish :)

[danceORsing]

shes soooo pretty!

i love your videos! all the colours are gorg!

[holbrooke7]

How long do the pigments last? I mean, you say that you get a LOT in one pot, but how long do they stay "fresh"? When do you know it's time to pitch it, or do pigments last longer in the pigment-form as opposed to an actual pressed eyeshadow?

[glowstix813]

I love mixing pigment with nail polish!

[xthesexxx]

i love your hair and style in this vid (:

[wamouse]

Seriously, you can wear ANYTHING. I don't know how, but you can. When you put on the Rose pigment lipgloss I was like, "pffsh!" (yes, "pffsh!") and nope: it looks great on you!

:D

[wamouse]

As Josh would say, "love it, love it!" XD

[bellasaragirl]

i love betsyjohnson i know i spelt that wrong but it is expenceive i got a handbag and a purse and it was 1,978 and it was on discount hahaha hard to belive love the video

[SberryShortCake158]

I love pigments!!!!!!!!

[TinksLuvsStatixXo]

omg! youre listening to britney! =] xx

[ItzMeErica]

you are soooo pretty.. you should be a face model for mac or something

[bbvm16]

hi!! i just had an idea about what to use a pigment for, and i was wondering if it would work before buying it lol. do you think it would work if i took a green pigment and mixed it in with some moisturizer or primer to neutralize some redness i have in my cheeks?? id just like your opinion, thanks :)

[xsarahgallagherx]

you can buy green moisturizer that does that anyways! cheaper and better id say!=D

[bobbyxpin86]

If you think that ist too much money and that your not going to use it all, why not buy small containers and share with friends!!!

[xsarahgallagherx]

thats a pretty good idea lol!

[DearDottieWhatDoIDo]

omg ur hair colour is so prettty , whats the colour you used?

[Natz1Jam2]

i love the bag :O

[mantha87]

i LOVE pink opal...

[tennesseeredhead]

do u have all of it

[SberryShortCake158]

im gonna try the rose pigment lip0 stuff i like how it looks thanks for the vid :)

[Goddess687]

Wouuld you say that you shouldnt get as many blues and greens because you dont make green lipgloss or blush :P

[starxpowerxx]

your room is EXACTLY the same colour as half of mine is(the other two are darker)

[sharpestlives01]

ok.i feel kinda stupid,but im not american or english so i guess thats an excuse.......WHAT ARE PIGMENTS???......

thanx.......

[Chrystal80]

Basically loose eyeshadows.

[JillStrif]

are you not watching the video?

[sparklebaby26]

what the name of the song playing in the background?

[Guitarchick647]

Radar by Britney Spears

[xlozzidoodlex]

good vid :)

and cute bag too.

[xxfoxglove]

great ideas, but you should mention that some pigments are not safe for use on the lips.

[MaiFlowers]

its just so expensive for one colour. I know it lasts and its worth it but for someone like me who doesn't have a job, is going to school, still needs to buy the staples. An eyeshadow pallet is so much better.

it sucks to like makeup. I'm going to save up for some, maybe smaller sizes if they have them where I live.

[Bangz0]

You can also put pigment into clear nailpolish to make your own shade of nailpolish, so you can have mixed, or a paler color than come in stores

[annabanna]

yes...

dats true~

[shanaenaecolleen]

BTW.  That lipgloss color looks great on you.

[shanaenaecolleen]

You are so horribly cute. :] BTW I love the hair!

[lala510050]

how did u make the lip gloss in the small pot u had

[pandalover55]

its probably just vaseline or carmex or something.

[ZandreInglorian]

you melt them. try searching 'melting lipsticks' on youtube.

basically what i do is i put my lipstick or/and balm or vaseline on a metal spoon, hold it over the stove and use a toothpick to make sure everthing melts. Don't put too much on the spoon. It's always easier to add more later. Once you have a spoonful of melted stuff you pour it into the pot!

voila! :]

[Chrystal80]

She already had a pot of lip gloss/balm (but suggested to use a clear one, as that would be better), then she added the pigment and mixed it. You could always tip some of your clear lipgloss into a 5g jar and do it like that.

I also can't see vaseline being a problem when making the lipgloss with pigments, afterall people use vaseline on the lips anyway.

If you were to use vaseline on your eyelids as a base, I wouldn't recommend it could crease but wouldn't crease on the lips imo.

Great vid!

[miiisspickle7]

omg, thank you soo much, im totally gonna try using it in my hair =)

i bet if you had a really vibrant color it would look awesome for halloween xD

[blueyescutey]

Wow, you necklace is gorgeous. Where did you get it?

[shoppingdiva777]

betsey johnson

[blueyescutey]

Thats what i figured. I love betsey!

[hxcrosswalk]

what is the fix plus? is there a video about it?
