Yes, you can use them with a mixing medium such as the Mac one (water based), Mac EZR or just a tiny bit of water and the effect is stunning!
I found a new love! And they are so much cheaper than Mac and still as good quality! They are pure natural Micas.
You can't press them though.

I am thinking of trying to add some ingredients to be able to press them as e/s so that they will be easier to apply.

Hi,

I just came across this discussion when doing an internet search for baked italian cosmetics.

I have been doing a lot of research on baked cosmetics, and actually came across three of the major italian cosmetics manufacturers who make them for MAC, Stila, Physcians Formula etc. I'm trying to add baked cosmetics to my own private label line but going through these manufacturers directly is costly because they do contract manufacturing and have high ordering minimums.

Does anyone know of a regular, private label cosmetics line (the ready to wear type where you have some choice of packaging and can get your logo printed on them) that has baked products? I found one, but they just told me they are discontinuing them and can only do them with a couple thousand minimum. I really want something like the Laura Geller Balance N- Brighten/Bronze N' Brighten marble powders, or like those at the Karaja site.

Rather than posting the info, please email me at my AOL email: patinaboutique and to return the favor, if anyone needs the contact info for the direct manufacturers I can give you that, since I can't afford to do it that way anyways!

Thanks!

Someone told me to try bourjois wet/dry eyeshadows while they're nice, I find they don't have an awesome color payoff the way the MAC ones do wet.

Does anyone know of other mineralized eyeshadow companies? Or even that original italian site?
Thank you!

just click on the american flag (if you're in America dur lol) on the upper right corner to change the currency and you should be able to shop for all of Karaja's products...but dang are they expensive! lol
hope this helps!

EDIT:
Since the pictures on the Kudoscosmetics site are small, just use karaja's official website to view them better
http://www.karaja-make-up.it/
for example, to view the shadows better you'd go here

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Laura Gellar yet. Hell, she released an e/s line that teeters on imitation Flashtronic (though honestly, I'm not sure which came first.)

^^ The e/s came after Mac's. I am not sure about the blushes that are like MSFs. I am going to stop by Sephora and try these later this week, they look really good.

I tried Laura Gellar. I like the colors alot. I found that they were pretty. I didn't think that they were totally unique but not really similar to Flashtronic. They actually reminded me of a few pigments I have.
