This does NOT work on NYX, from my experience, and from a lot of what I've seen other people say. You need to use either a "real" mixing medium, or a glycerin mix.
It worked for me especially with my MAC pigments..I used small pans..really small not like the ones they sell online but I don't do it anymore cause I like pigments better. I don't really use eyeshadow anymore.
Oh, yeah it works fine on MAC, from what I've seen, but there's just something about the NYX pigments in particular that makes it not work well. When I did it, after they were dried, they just crumbled back to powder.
@BargainBeauty365 MAC pigments already contain a medium that allows the powder to stick when isopropyl alcohol is added. NYX pigments do not contain that medium, and should be added with alcohol during pressing. Glycerin works as a medium to press NYX pigments.
Yes. I forgot to add that. Sometimes if the pan is small , smaller than a MAC pigment pan it won't need the quarter. Just cover it with a paper towel and put a heavy book on top of it.
does this work with mineral pigments?

You could do this with a broken eyeshadow or blush/bronzer! :)

The pigment I pressed in the video was MAC maybe the formula in NYX makes it crumble. That's weird.

I tried pressing it several times with alcohol, and all the times, it crumbled.
