Cream glitter eyeshadow formula?
Hello, dear friends
Any idea on formulating these beauties?
The final color when swatched appears super intense and glittery.The second shows pressed glitter eyeshadow which is when swatched on hand lays very (very!) thick with glitter all over more like cream. For this one they give glyserin, alco and glitter loose powder on the ingredients list.
What do you think?
Thank you for your attention!

How are you going to get them in the pan? Pressure or hot pour?
Also, I would strongly recommend against using these in the eye area. Glitter has sharp corners.
Lastly, these really aren’t legal to sell in the US, although the FDA has put enforcement on hold. Where were you planning on selling them?

Pressured.
This presise prouct is designed for the eyes.
I reside out of US and so does my business. However i tend to look at us trends for make up. This product is now trending and i see it in different brands. The thing you say about sharpness is true, but probably with glitter there is fine laser cut glitter, possibly it is more soft in the eye.Thank you very much for your answer and if you have any more thoughts please feel to share with us on this thread, I’m sure will be interesting for many!

From what I’ve seen on the web, what the folks selling this kind of product do is mix glitter with a glycerin and alcohol solution, allow the alcohol to flash off, then scoop a ball of material into a pan. Then, they gently flatten it into the pan. The procedures and recipes are widely available on the web.
This is very far from how traditional pressed powders are made, and seems impossible to make commercially without custom-made filling equipment.
If I was going to do this, I’d mix the glitter into something like a clear lipstick formula, and hot-pour it into pans, which is a procedure that could be at least semi-automated.
Don’t forget to properly preserve the product.
