where can i get the pans? because i want it to fit into my mac palette

[supaxkawaii]

I got my pans from a palette that I didn't really like but you can get some online, the link is in the sidebar.

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.

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

[BargainBeauty365]

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

I'll put a note of that in the video. Thanks !

Did you ever try pressing it with a mixing medium or glycerin mix ?

[ILikeCheese770]

does this work with mineral pigments?

[09blueyes]

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

@supaxkawaii What is a mixing medium?

[YupiForLife]

Where i live, hre is not sold : mixing medium or glycerin mix or eaven "pure" alcohol...

@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.
