Is pressed mineral powder as good as loose mineral powder in the result?

Or for wich reason is mineral powder never pressed all ready... sorry I'm a little stupid i think :]

[EnKoreMakeup]

the result is the same, its just less messy pressed than in loose form. Mineral in loose form is pure mineral ingredients, once pressed, youre adding stuff to it like silcones to bind.

with using mm, how long can we keep our eye shadow after that? Years?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yeah about 3 years, in loose form, they dont expire. So thats another advantage of keeping it in loose form.

For regular pigments; use the alcohol method. For matte pigments; use this method. What about the MAC metal pigments like Gold, Platinum, Silver... etc..?? How do I press those?

[EnKoreMakeup]

alcohol works great on those.

[ellaneza]

because, not all mineralized powders are pressed! there are ppl out there that like the coverage of loose mineralized powders as opposed to regular foundation.. this tutorial are for those who hate the messiness that comes along w/ loose mineralized powder..

@enkoremakeup. Hey. I am really interested in trying this. My hands shake so bad I keep spilling my makeup. I am wondering if this will work on the bare escentials makeup. Also they have now come out with pressed eyeshadows and I did not see any of the ingredients you listed. Do you know how their binding their eyeshadow?? Thanks in advanced.

no wonder my nyx pigments never stayed put... i used mac fix+ instead

would it make a difference?

[tha1uwont4get80]

Will* that work or will it just damage the rest of the palette that isn't broken?

[tha1uwont4get80]

I bought these shimmery pigments from the 99 cents store n I want to practice with them to press. U didn't mention what u were spraying on the powder n what temperature to set the oven.. Also I have a 120 neutral palette that I purchased n received broken. I watched another video where they used 70% alcohol n just pressed it with a dime n some cloth, wit

[MercedesGames]

..Koren...where is the video..that tells me whats in the spray bottle u are using...The materials and prep video?

...Is that an alcohol and mixing medium mix...?..

Thank you..Very helpful...there aren't any videos..on pressing mattes..again thanks..:)

Hi Enkore, I am really desperate. I need your help. I dropped my mac studio fix and it broke into pieces, it's almost brand new. I try fixing it by mixing it with 70% isopropyl alcohol and press it but when it dried its all cracked up again. What am I doing wrong? Please help me!!

[PinkIsMe03]

So this method also works for shattered MAC MSFs correct?

[jennigerr]

lol if i minimise the window, it sounds like a cooking show.

@EnKoreMakeup eyeshadow expires?

[Spiceycocoa]

Wow! Yours came out so perfect. I love ur method. hey, I have never pressed eyeshadows before. I was wondering after the eyeshadow is pressed how is the pigmentation and the eyeshadow application? Thanks!!
