Hey, what does the matte texture do?

Is it necessary or is it just used so you can combine different coours together?

[KayyLovelyy]

@jhodeemi It makes it matte, i used to think u HAD to use it, but you dontt :) also it is helpful if ur trying to make a pink, ud mix that with red. but i dont like that cus it would stink if u didnt want a matte pink. so i reccomend getting another white

Yay..you did the video I suggested..i love orange color you pressed very pretty! I have about 50 different pigments I would like to press but I think it is going to take forever.

[KayyLovelyy]

@mssilverglow Yess! they do take forever, & are really messy, but i have no life so this is wat i do with my spare time :P aaha <3 thankss

Is that your phone off to the side..? By the pink bottle? It's nice :) What kind is it if you don't mind me asking. I have an idea but I can't see it that well..

[KayyLovelyy]

@KayyLovelyy HI, i just wanted to ask how would i try to get the micas to look shimmery instead of matte? thanks :)

[Kelsey30259]

@DivaDarlingChic yes :(

@MsChupla Use instead alcohol and glycerol...That will keep them together just as well if not better than a binder...I've pressed many of my TKB micas and to be honest when they are done they look so creamy and when you put them on your eyes they go on so smoothly...You may even feel a little hydrating action...Also, when you use your pressed micas this way, there is absolutely zero fall out!! Hope this helps!!!

Don't press with alcohol!!! Use FCO or Dimethicone.

So i have been trying to just press the tkb mica by themselves because i like the colors already how they are ... I have used there clear liquid binder and alcohol to try and press them but they just don't seem to hold together they crumble apart . Any ideas on what i could do to get them to stay pressed ? I have also tried adding more liquid binder but then there is no color payoff from the pigments .

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION (: does that coastal scents palette have the Brand Name "Coastal Scents" printed on the front? Thanks (:

[MuffinGirlBethan]

are the glycerin and alcohol bad for sensitive skin
