Pressing pigments

[littlepaperstars]

pigment pressing...
thought someone might be interested in this...so far I've done:

(milani pans)

(current palette - still wet)

and tried (the TBAs are being sample tested tonight, I'll update them as they dry.

MAC pigments:
frosty consistency (violet, frozen white): hold up well, bind well, no crumbling.
lustre/glitter texture (rose): slightly crumbly, binds well, but you have to use very light pressure with your brush.
matte/glittery matte (provence): TBA once it dries down.

iridscent powders:
pro gold face: crumbles back into loose powder easily
dolled up (w. glitter): TBA once it dries.

pearlizer powders (quiver):TBA once it dries down

LW loose e/s (folie de eau) crumbles into loose powder upon drying

T&T UCDs (andromeda): crumble easily once dry

BE matte (soft focus pure): TBA once it dries

any other loose e/s anyone wants me to try? (if I have them)

I think this means she doens't know yet and still has to see how it will turn out once it's dry.

HTH

Oh gosh, the palette you're using... I had that palette when I was 5.

Creating eyeshadows from pigments works pretty well, and is detailed in the fixing a broken powder product FAQ. I've done it quite successfully with such pigments as naked, provence, vanilla, and chocolate brown.

All Girl has the chunky texture same as rose and frost. When curious about textures of pigments and how they compare with other pigments, check the precautions list- it has all that info!

Pretty cool stuff. How good do they go on after drying? I always wondered if they were kind of crumble and brittle. Thanks for posting these... they really look awesome.

 

[littlepaperstars]

Not brittle at all...they go on as if you're applying them wet, with a strong metallic sheen. I love them more than when they're loose! so easy to work with =)

try not to use a finely milled one though, (electric coral, fairylite) they haven't dried yet, but they seem to be brittle and cracking apart...frosts and glittery ones are still going strong.
