    @goatheads369 Mac doesn't sell their pigments in pressed form, so if you really like one of their pigment colors you have to press it yourself (if you want it in a palette)

    @babyapple930 it can be 70%! I think it will just take a bit longer to evaporate, but that's ok

    @pointeskatecybunny just so you can put it in a palette and not have to worry about using it loose - it just depends on your preference.

    @Leah378 that's the "pressing" part, it compresses the powder so it is not a loose powder when it dries

    why do you need to stack the quarters on top of the eyeshadow and set it under something heavy?? (:
