Coastal Scents: Press Your own makeup
EZ Prez pressing medium for micas and pigments, this is the perfect solution for loose mineral powders and pigment colors: Eye Shadow, Eyeliner, Blush, Foundation and more.
After months of blending and testing we now have a formula that will offer all the effects and performance you need in order to press your loose powders and travel with ease.
EZ Prez pressing medium also adds brilliance and staying power to your loose pigments, offering a long lasting application.
Our 2 ounce bottle goes a very long way, here is a description and How To:
Take 1teaspoon of loose pigment powder/makeup, place it in a dish deep enough to mix in the medium. To your powder add by drops of your EZ Prez, begin with 20 drops. Using a mixing spatula (available at Coastal Scents), begin to mix and pull to the sides of the jar incorporating the liquid and powder together. What you are looking for as an outcome is a crumble of powder, when you pull it together to the side of the dish with your spatula it should hold together easily and then again when stirred loosen up. Be careful not to over wet your powders, you only need it to hold when pushed together slightly.
Once you reach this stage, mist a makeup pan with 91% alcohol (this is available at your local drug store). Add enough powder to cover the bottom, place a quarter over a piece of thick plastic and press evenly and firmly. Remove the plastic and add another layer and repeat the above instructions.
At this point you are ready to add the last layer to the palette (if using the Coastal Scents Palette and tins). Now, this is when you may want to use a hatch ribbon with a quarter on top of it to press, this will leave a professional looking finish on the top.
Allow this to set overnight, if you are in a hurry you can place the pan in the oven at 200* for about 30 minutes, turn off and let cool. You now have a ready to use pressed mineral powder.
