  • Fall Out In Pressed Eyeshadows

    Posted by patced on May 28, 2018 at 3:29 am

    I had a couple questions regarding pressed eyeshadows, My current base for my eyeshadows are as followed…
    Mica, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Stearate, Kaolin Clay, Silicon Dioxide, Allantoin, Carnauba Wax.

    The binder that I use contains….
    Isopropyl Myristate, Dimethicone, Bis-Vinyl Dimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer. 

    When I press the eyeshadows into the pans, they press nicely but when I go to pick up some of the press powder from the pan with a makeup brush. I noticed that there is a lot of fall out. I am not quite sure why, Any suggestions as to what I need to do to fix this?
