Pigment Pressing

This was my first attempt on Pigment presssing! ...

I found it that the very first pigment I pressed it was very frustrating and nerveracking (it felt like I was wasting it and I sort of have a phobia of that o_o) . I made up my mind that I was only going to do one.. but at the end results, the tray in the case and the cap on & everthing, it looked really nice! So I decided to the rest. I only had 6 cases all belonging to a previous brand in which I don't know.. With it, I crumbled and threw away the sucky eye shadows and there I had free cases~!!

The pigments I used were from the Holiday sets I believe warm and cool ? (Forgive me if I'm wrong I'm far too lazy to check). So I chose the most distinct and vibrant colors and decided on that.

Pictures after the jump! [ The picture may be a bit heavy guys. ]

The tools I used were:
Alcohol - to help let the pigments adhere to the tray and also help shapen.
A quarter - which did the shaping
paper towel - I used this to wrap around the quarter and also help soak the excess alcohol
Tweezers - help pull the trays from the plastic case and also to spread around evenly the pigments

    Hey guys. I tried to make this look pink and blue but it came out purple and blue (unless I'm color blind.) I also did a tutorial on it. (Pictures are after the jump)

    Yay for pigment pressing :D I've been pressing nearly everything, lately :] Btw, why didn't you put them all into a larger palette?

    Because I don't own any palette as of yet. The previous eyeshadows on those cases were really bland and I wanted to reuse it so I decided to press the pigments. I guess makeup recycling =D!

    great job...that makes me want to press my holiday pigments too! i think i'd use them more that way...you know i did it once with one of my makeupforeever powders and it didnt work though...i think i added to much alcohol...maybe i need to watch another pigment pressing tutorial!

    I just pressed all my MAC pigments recently. Excellent way to carry all the colors I want to use in a palette without carrying those annoying jars that'll spill all over the place if I'm not careful. I did the same as you, but with NYX trio pans. Just dug out the shadows since I just wasn't using my cheaper stuff anymore. :p
