Pressing Shadow FYI

[tuna_fish]

I've successfully pressed two BE eyeshadows, using the pigment pressing method. I'm sure that any other mineral brand would work, too.

Ohhh nice! I will have to press some of mine too so, good to know that Mineral makeup works for pressing! ... only will have to find some metal pan now...

Thanks for sharing !

oh awesome. i pretty much dislike my mineral shadows because of the loose powders. i'll have to try this right now actually. thanks! =]

I know! I love all my colors, but they take up so much room and they're so messy....

alright...I take that back. I went to use them and even though they looked solid and pressed, they easily came apart. Sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry it didn't work out, I wanted to press mine too, I really don't like loose shadows.

If you girls are interested in pressing your mineral shadows, you should check out this thread:

Mineral eyeshadows can't be pressed like MAC pigments since there are no binders. Semantje used mixing medium + alcohol + jojoba oil, and some people suggested hand sanitizer.

I successfully created several palettes with Pure Luxe and TKB pigments using a l'oreal face lotion, however it didn't work at all with the She Space pigments I tried to press, weird...

Fyrinnae makes a powder modifier to press loose eyeshadow. Fyrinnae It is worth a try but with their insane processing time you probably won't get the item for a couple months.
