    Pressing mineral and very fine-milled loose shadows can be tricky. The alcohol method will not work with them.

    Biosilk is a hair serum, yes. But it has the same ingredients as Coastal Scents EZ Press Mixing Medium...and smells really good! lol

    (the only thing I've found is color payoff does decrease a little using the Biosilk. I'm not sure about the EZ Press)

    TIP FOR PRESSING MINERALS:
    Preheat your oven beforehand to 200 degrees. When you've finished pressing turn off the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Wait until the oven completely cools, then take it out and let the pan sit overnight.

    this looks great and all but it wastes too much product. i have a small Chanel eyeshadow pot that is broken badly and for me to do this would leave me with almost no shadow left, since theres such a small amt. to start with and the shadow was way too expensive to waste even a drop. there has to be a better way. also can i do this with a broken shimmer brick?

    @realfam1969 Would you use it as eye drops? Because I don't think I wanna get this stuff in my eyes.

    @plumpkinpatch biosilk is safe. its made for hair and skin. i use it as a body moisturizer everyday. and my skin is VERY sensitive. its ok to use in shadow...its not a big deal. <3

    @chemicallyfeline biosilk is safe. it says on the bottle that its for hair and body. i use it as a body lotion. its safe for skin, actually very good for skin! im def using it to press some of my crumbled shadows. i have sensitive skin...so ill let u know in a week or two if my eyes swelled up..lol

    @chemicallyfeline Oh yes, liquid eyeliner is definitely practice makes perfect. I still haven't gotten it down perfectly, I screw up on it all the time.

    @rocksterize ok thanks. :) i might try the alcohol and glycerin method or i might just leave them as is, i'm not sure yet. loose powder is kinda a "practice makes perfect" makeup, but then again i still can't use liquid eyeliner very well lol.

    @chemicallyfeline If you are concerned about it then I would say just get the Pressing Medium that's made for it. I bought the pressing medium a while back just to test if it made a difference, and I actually quite like it, even better than this method that I show. It's all preference :) ♥Tisch

    ppl on all of these youtube videos about pressing eyeshadow pigment keep bitching about u cant use biosilk for your eyes its not safe and one person said it burned their eyes. i don't know who to believe. the pressing mediums cost the same as the biosilk, idk about the ingredients or any of that tho. does it burn or irritate with the biosilk? i just want to make the right decision when i do this. please help!

    @customanimalart Ive done a few of the Elf shadows pressed, and I used90% alcohol and about 2-3 drops of glycerin and I love the end result. so it WILL work :)

    do you have to press it with the coin after wards? can you just let it try over night? i just bought some urban decay loose pigments for really cheap and hoping to press them!

    everybody please listen. You shouldn't use this in your eyeshadows. You don't know what other harmful ingredients could be in it.

    @Puddycat11385 Yes, but it depends on what kind of eyeshadow it is. If it's pressed mineral shadow then you should use this method. If it's something like covergirl or a mac shadow then you only need to use the alcohol method.

    does this work with pressed eye shadow that broke and is now a powdery mess and needs to be pressed back in the pan again? or does it only work with mineral eye shadows, also do I need to use the alcohol at all? thanks, love your videos.

    @customanimalart minerals you will have to use with the ez prez. Any really fine-milled shadows you will use the ez prez

  • customanimalart

    this may seem like a dumb question, butElf has mineral shadows (I have all of them too) and I am not sure if this needs the alcohol method or the ex prez (this) method. I'd like to only press half of each color and keep the other half loose. Anyhoooo-which way do I try to go with it? I have done bare escentuals with the ex prez and have done pigments with alcohol only. So themethod is not new to me.I just don't know which one to use. thx

    @x3iiLoveYouxx rubbing alcohol will completely evaporate and so will the smell. You should let it sit for around 24 hours

    heey I just did this, and uhh, i accidently added WAAY to much alchohol, and soo i just added a little more pigment, but there still was wayy to much, soo i just like left it, and I was wondering, is the smell of the alchohol supose to stay in the eyeshadow? or is it supose to go away ? ... thanks, Laura♥
