ReplyDeleteI'm completely new to pressing pigments, and I must say I've jumped the gun... I bought tons of stuff from tkb to start pressing my own shadows (I'm a makeup artist, and always could use a lot more colors), but they either turn into rocks and zero color comes off or they're a slimy mess. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've watched a thousand videos (exaggerating obviously) and read tons of tutorials. I am working with mattes,(oxides, ultramarines, everything I just read that are best left loose), and mattes mixed with mica. I prefer matte tones because I feel like the colors are more vivid and seem to blend out better and also many people I work with aren't into shimmer. I don't know what to do!!!! I really want to press my new pigments, am I completely out of luck here?? Let me remind you, I'm a complete novice to pressing but I have the liquid binder, cap 5, matte texture base, and 99% alcohol. Please help!!
ReplyDeleteHi Khrystyn, can I ask what ratio you're using for your pigments? I usually don't recommend more than 1 drop per 1/4 tsp. Could you give me some examples of colors you've mixed? Could you also clarify, are you using ultramarines and oxides in your mix or are you not?
ReplyDeleteI probably used too much, all around. I used chromium oxide green and blue oxide and the texture base with a scoop of mica. It probably was about 1/2 tbs powder to 1 tsp liquid binder and a few drops to quite a bit of alcohol. I've tried a few methods so should I do less on the binder and more on the alcohol?
ReplyDeleteI don't recommend pressing with those two matte colorants, especially since it comprises most of what you're pressing. It'll probably not turn out well since those colorants in particular don't work out well in pressing.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you recommend that I use instead?
