Experimenting with Coastal Scents EZ Prez Part 2

[AvaAmin]

haha...um, I might be able to remember some, but most I was just mixing ramdom scoops and seeing what color came out. Shame on me, i know. I used TKB Recipe Roundup to start, and then if I wanted to slightly alter a color, I just added something and waited for the outcome. Thanks for watching and sorry if I now suck. lol

Hi there,

Just saw your video and thought I'd share my experience. When I pressed all of my mineral eyeshadows, I followed the whole CS instructions and I got the soft, creamy shadows. I'm not a fan of it because it made it hard for me to pick up product with my brushes.

I got a tip to  not use so much EZ press (I think you ended up using more than 25 drops?), and instead split it with the rubbing alcohol. I did this and I was much more pleased with the results - no more creaminess! :)

Hi! Thanks for this comment, since you did remind me that I was supposed to be doing a "do-over" video on the EZ Prez. I came to the same discovery as you, with the less EZ Prez and adding alcohol method. I noticed they did it that way on the Coastal Scents channel. Somehow, it totally slipped my mind that I was going to give it another go. Yeah, the initial texture I got was a bit sucky. I am able to pick it up and apply, but I'm not a fan. Thanks much for watching and commenting!

Thanks for the blessing! I like the EZ Prez, but I'm going to try it over with a slighty different method. My shadows were a little too soft the next day. I'll make a new vid when I try it.

if you maybe try to bake then in the oven for a little but im sure the softness would go away and the color might lighten.

I plan to do this over and following the way I saw them do it on the Coastal Scents video. The way on the video doesnt' exactly match the instructions on the EZ Prez bottle. It looked like theirs turned out pretty good though. Hope to get around to it before the end of February.
