Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (aka OCC) has six new loose colour concentrates (aka pigments) out for fall and I’ve got ’em for ya today!
OCC’s pigments are micro-refined, lightweight and very pigmented. The containers are 2.5 grams, which is a pretty good amount considering you only need a little and it goes a long way. Oh and yay for sifters!
As with most pigments there is a little fall-out, so make sure you are careful with application or use over a sticky-like base.
The colors are:
- Obscure – white with teal reflects
- Twirl – pale peach shimmer
- Swag – gold/green duochrome
- Smote – taupe with plum shimmer
- Dope – golden bronze
- Saturate – teal with green reflects

L to R: Obscure, Twirl, Dope
I absolutely love the way Obscure has that heavy green effect to it. Twirl is more of a less intense and more wearable color (if you don’t like WOW colors) and Dope is a very deep gorgeous coppery bronze.
L to R: Swag, Smote, Saturate
Swag is simply stunning with the gold/green duochrome! Smote again is a little more wearable and neutral, and Saturate is a really gorgeous mermaid-esque blue.
L to R: Obscure, Twirl, Dope, Swag, Smote, Saturate
Overall:
These are my first OCC pigments and I have to say I am impressed. They are as saturated and finely milled as you would hope for in a pigment, and the colors are very pretty. They have about 30 colors in all and I think these are the more “tame” ones of them all. If you are color shy or just like a more natural look, I would start with some of these.
What do you think about these colors?

Obscure and Swag are very nice.
Swag reminds me of Old Gold. Are they anything alike?

Hi Sarah B.,
Old Gold is even more saturated with a heavier duochrome effect.
How’s the wear time on these? I know with a lot of loose make-up like this unless I wear a primer underneath it is all of the place in hours and even then sometimes the wear time is amazing.
Hi Kristen,
I have only just swatched them, haven’t worn ’em yet, sorry!
These ones feel so blah to me…. Well obscure is nice and so is slag/swag (you wrote it both ways). Slag/swag seems identical to BFTE’s Mermaid… Which is gorgeous over a black base.
i love smote and obscure! gorgeous colors! when i get the extra spending money, i’m definitely going to grab myself those 2 colors. all of the colors are so amazing…i love occ so much.
i like swag and smote 🙂 the blue is pretty but i doubt i’d ever wear it.
