yeah, about that... she's probably using what i call "pigment sellers' teaspoon" , meanning imperial tsp (3.5ml) instead of 5ml (US/metric tsp), making the powder as fluffy as possible. and god forbid if it's heaping or packed down. (pigment sellers, please do not take this personally)
the way i think of it, mac jar is about 30ml (i filled it up with water and measured the before and after weight, divided the weight difference by water density -- yes, i'm the biggest dork EVER), so that's 6 (metric) teaspoons. some frosty pigments are really full, so they are a little pressed in the jar. even in that case, there might be upto 8 teaspoons of product in a jar.
do a board search, this thread might help
