Pressed pigments

[igswonderworld]

I don't remember exactly where I have seen it but it must have been in one of the swatch threads, there were pictures of palette refills that were pigment colors - so they were pressed, transformed to fit the MAC palette - I have the pastorale pigment and it would be perfect if I could get it pressed as well.. Does anyone know how or where to get that done? If I go to my MAC store will they be able to do that?

If this is the dumbest question please forgive me, I never had to deal with pigments

Thanks

Hey igswonderworld,
you can press your Pigments in Pans, so they will fit in your Refill Palettes.
On Youtube are some Videos, how to do "Pigment-Pressing".
Here is a link from EnKoreMakeup:

I just use Fix spray, the pigment and a pan and just put them together in the pan! And voila! Leave them in the sun to dry and I try not to drop the pallet!

Plus it helps them stay on your eyes much longer...As I am currently trying to scrub off my eyeshadow!!

there's a few pigment pressing tutorials here on specktra, http://specktra.net/search.php?searchid=2870311

there's a girl on livejournal that will press them for you, i think...but other than that, they won't do it for you at a store/counter. like depotting, that's for the customer to handle.
