ive got two broken e/s - Amber Lights and Steamy. I love using steamy alot so is it any different using Steamy as a full pan e/s and it being like pigments?
you can take the pan out of the pot...its pretty much like depotting an eyeshadow. I did that with an empty shale pot that i wanted to press a pigment into.
I did the alcohol thing with my amber lights and you can't even tell the difference in quality. I mean it looks like a mess in the pan, but hey, you do what you can, haha!
That would be even easier to depot then if the e/s is broken out of it!
The whole trick to depotting is trying to not shatter the e/s itself. Maybe you can pry that pan out, then call the MAC# and order either a 4 or 15-pan palette and put it in there & have fun filling the rest of the spots!
