Essence Breaking Dawn 2 - Pigment Swatches & Review

When I saw the Essence Breaking Dawn pigments I jumped at them. I am a BIG fan of their pigments so I was very excited to find these. I got all four without batting an eye.

The four colours are 01 Jacobs Protection, 02 Alice had a Vision, 03 A Piece Of Forever and 04 Edwards Love.

Jacobs Protection, a slate grey base with multicoloured glitter and Alice had a Vision which is a dark royal purple with holographic multicoloured glitter.

A Piece Of Forever is a taupe tinged gold with gold glitter and Edwards Love a black with multicoloured holographic glitter,

I was very disappointed when I swatched these. The colour pay off was far below par and the fall out was beyond what should be expected (even with such glittery colours!). Picture Urban Decay glitter bombs - these have FIVE TIMES the fall out!!

And here they are swatched wet. The colour pay off of Jacobs Protection is good, but the other three are patchy and disappointing even when wet. If you use three, four or five swipes you can get a good opaque colour pay off. But it shouldn't be so much work!
