Here's an idea that came to me looking at the swatches of the new collection MAC Wonder Woman, in fact I realized belatedly that Reflects Pearl Glitter are not "eyesafe" meaning it is not recommended for use around the eyes! Except that those pretty little flakes I used them for Christmas without my makeup that I was running can be a risk!
Well then I can assure you I is not lost an eye, I've even got no response. When I manipulate straws (which is pretty rare in itself) I am always very careful not to put me in the eye but it is precisely true that if I had known this before, I'd probably not hazardous to use especially with the big eye problems that I met about 2 years ago!
So after investigating I discovered that all "reflect glitter" MAC should not be used for eye makeup . I know it's not funny but if you fit a straw in the eye it can cause micro cuts, and believe me no matter how small it a micro break the retina is quite painful and very slow to heal (for my part I had to go to wear lenses for more than 1 year!)
For the same observation pigments, pigment some can cause irritation, redness or cause allergic reactions more or less important and others should not be used around lips.
So fortunately this does not all pigments but here is the list with which it is better to be cautious!
- Acid Orange
- Basic Red
- Bright Coral
- Bright Fuchsia
- Burnt Burgundy
- Chartreuse (only lots A24 / A74)
- Chocolate Brown (Lot A64 only)
- Cool Pink
- Corn Flower (just lots AB4 / A54)
- Dark Soul (Only lots A24 / A54)
- Dusty Coral
- Electric
Coral - Emerald Green (just lots A34 / A74)
- Fairylite (only lots A54 / B83 / A83)
- Genuine Orange
- Golden Lemon ( Only Lot A64)
- Grape

- Kelly Green (just lots A24 / B24)
- Kitschmas (only lots A45 / B25 / A64 / A62

- Naked (Seuke lots A25 / A45 / B45)
- Neo Orange
- Nocturnal Plum
- Vivid Pink
- Red Electric
- Rock-It Yellow
- Ruby Red
- Teal (only Lot A64)
As you can see it mainly neon pigments, those made of red and purple , and also some older batches of pigments that usually are not at risk (for information on Lot No. pigments mac is on the little round label affixed in the bottle), if you own samples, it is unfortunately impossible to trace the batch number within the contact person to whom you purchased your samples.

Here the list is much longer, thankfully it is much less widespread use of the pigment on or around of the lips but I think it's best to keep this little list handy in case of doubt ...
Now I guess you're probably wondering what can be done with all these pigments and glitter Reflect can not be used for applying makeup? Well you can always make such nail polish by mixing them with clear lacquer, or with respect to the glitter, the use of body in your hair, mix a gloss etc.. After
worry I am not fooled and I'm well aware that despite warnings some continue to make up using some of these pigments (I plead guilty myself) and use the mixing medium (based blend of water and glycerine) to secure the straws so they avoid flying everywhere, but I publish this post preventive after you are free to do as you want but at least you are warned!
