What is pigment?
Those are M.A.C. Pigments which are mineral powders that are very rich in color and shine. They can be used a myriad of ways and with so many different mediums. They can be used instead of eyeshadow or with it. It can go over creme based shadows.





I have added M.A.C. pigments to body creme's, lip glosses, hair gels, nail polish (both clear and color). I've used them as highlighters for face and body. You can use them for virtually just about anything.





They are one color when dry but tend to intensify when wet. It's a very versatile product. Lots of fun and tends to become a collectors item to many. For more on M.A.C. Pigments go to http://specktra.net/ and register. It's basically a pro-M.A.C. site where you can even purchase samples of pigments.





Hope you found this helpful,

Reply:Pigment is a substance that gives color to tissue. Pigments are responsible for the color of skin, eyes, and hair. I don't think you can "buy" pigment unless you're buying a product that changes the look of your pigment such as a self tanner lotion. Or a product may say the "pigment" is red but the product itself is not pigment. Pigment is a natural exsisting substance within your skin and inside your eyes and hair.
Reply:mac pigments are multi use. they're probably most popular as eyeshadows, but can also be used on lips, cheeks, nails, and pretty much anywhere. the mac pro store sells several mixing mediums, to change the consistancy of the powder, for the different uses, or they can be mixed with water/visine/etc.

Is losing pigment in your skin a weakines or adaptabilty like camophlage?

No, its a condition called vitiligo, which is caused by loss of melanocites in the skin. It is not something that will cause serious illnes, just that it discolours the skin. There are treatment options, like UV light, but you should see a demathologist. Also, in some countries, it is popularly called melancholy.

Reply:pigment, substance that imparts color to other materials. In paint, the pigment is a powdered substance which, when mixed in the liquid vehicle, imparts color to a painted surface. The pigments used in paints are nearly all metallic compounds, but organic compounds are also used (see lake). Most black pigments are organic, e.g., bone black (animal black or charcoal) and lampblack. Some of the metallic pigments occur naturally. The brilliant and beautiful coloring of the rock and soil in some parts of the United States, especially in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, the Painted Desert of Arizona, and Bryce and Zion canyons of Utah, is largely produced by such compounds, chiefly oxides. Yellow ocher, sienna, and umber are oxides of iron. Litharge is a yellow oxide of lead. Red lead is also an oxide of this metal. Lead chromate, or chrome yellow, is an important yellow pigment. White lead, or basic lead carbonate, is a pigment long in use; it is rendered more durable by mixture with zinc oxide. Cadmium yellow is a sulfide of cadmium. Ultramarine is an important blue pigment, as is Prussian blue (ferric ferrocyanide). Green pigment is produced by mixing Prussian blue and chrome yellow. Vermilion (mercuric sulfide) is red. Pigments occur in plant and animal bodies. The bright colors of plants, for example, are the result of the presence of such substances as chlorophyll (green) and xanthophyll (yellow), both of which are also found in some animals. Among others are carotene, the yellow of carrots and certain other vegetables, and anthocyanin, which imparts blue, red, and purple to flowers. Blood receives its color from the hemoglobin in the red corpuscles. Coloration of human skin is caused by the presence of pigments (see pigmentation).

Why does pigment leakage decrease from a beetroot when it is cooked at 97 degrees C?

I have done an experiment into membrane permeabiltiy, i have peices of beetroot into heated water of different temps and used a colorimeter to find my results, these worked ok the results showed less light percentage on the colorimeter as the tep increased except at 97 degrees C. why does this happen any help will be a huge helps thanks in advance

Why does pigment leakage decrease from a beetroot when it is cooked at 97 degrees C?
I assume by "except at 97 degrees" you don't mean that at 96 and 98 degree everything was normal.





Say if you had 20, 60 and 97 degrees, the reason why the colorimeter shows a decrease at the highest temperature is that the pigments in the beet break down (I think they break down above 80 degrees). I'm not sure the mechanism, but I think its enhanced oxidation.
