Repressing An Eyeshadow With Surprising Results

As you know I received the lovely Physicians Formula Baked Oatmeal Eyeshadow Trio for the lovely Holly earlier this week - I had a little play but then disaster struck I dropped it - thankfully only the darker shade broke but the dome section completely severed from the rest of the eyeshadow (see can see a little bit in this FOTD post what happened) So I managed to retrieve the dome section and I decided to repress it - I broke it down into powder and since it was a mineralized baked shadow I used Lipglossipings method using alcohol and biosilk - success :) the only thing was I think I might have pressed it a bit too hard or my fabric wasn't thick enough hence the lovely imprint of a 10 pence piece lol

    hoorah, glad the method worked well for you too! It's good to be able to salvage eyeshadows in an emergency. The 10p imprint makes it ;)

    Thanks hun :)yeah its the first mineral one I've broke so it was a good job I got the Biosilk after reading your post :)- The 10p thing is strange I've pressed loads of MAC pigments and that the first imprint I've ever got lol
