Evolution of a Foodie
Now that you've amassed your giant indie loose shadow collection, you're starting to get pressing fever...what's your pressing formula/technique/secret to buttery smooth pressed shadows? What do you store them in? Did you buy a premade palette or make your own?
I started wanting to try my hand at pressing some shadows as Christmas gifts for friends and family, and started with the TKB Trading Pressing Medium, but it turned everything rock hard, even with only one drop. So I read that a lot of people use Fractionated Coconut Oil so I'm trying that instead. You need usually 2 drops per 1/4 teaspoon, but I think it's working for me. Much softer pressed shadows than they were before! So I'm still working on some. Thinking of pressing my mom a neutrals palette and a friend a geeky themed palette, with indie shadows.
